Compact Build

At 60 mm length by 30 mm diameter, the NSA12 is the smallest actuator on the catalog. It is great for small, confined spaces.

Non-rotating Tip

NSA actuators feature a non-rotating tip that prevents wear and avoids periodic motion variations during movement. Better positioning repeatability and eliminates tip wear.
