Drawings & design-in
Mini linear actuator CAD requests
Request the drawing package for the configuration you will install. Share your application, then add stroke, mounting and revision details as they become available.
CAD files are supplied after configuration and availability review. Requested formats and delivery timing are confirmed by engineering.
Start with what you know
Prepare and send your request
Only your contact details and application are required. Technical details are optional; unknown items stay marked for clarification.

Please confirm the applicable configuration, file availability, drawing revision, intended use and delivery timing. This is a request, not a product specification or file delivery confirmation.
Specify the deliverable
Which file package do you need?
State the engineering task as well as the format. A packaging model, dimensioned interface drawing and manufacturing release carry different information; agree the controlling documents for your project.
| Requested item | Intended review | Confirm with engineering |
|---|---|---|
| STEP / IGES model | Packaging, adjacent parts and assembly review | Configuration, units, stroke position, simplified or detailed envelope and required CAD import version. |
| PDF drawing | Dimensioned interfaces and drawing review | Revision, datums, mounting holes, end fittings, retracted and extended dimensions, and controlling tolerances. |
| DXF drawing | Requested 2D interface geometry | Drawing units, projection, scale and which interface needs to be imported. Availability is reviewed. |
| Configuration record | Keep every file tied to the requested axis | Model reference, motor/screw/control option, stroke, connector, revision and intended use. |
Installation context
Check the complete installed envelope
The requested useful stroke is one input. Include the mechanism at both travel limits and the interfaces around it.
Installed length
Check the full retracted and extended assembly, including rod ends, brackets and mounting hardware. Useful stroke alone does not describe the installed envelope.
Mounting and support
Identify datums, hole patterns, allowed rotation and any external guidance. Include the side-load path and space needed to install fasteners.
Cables and connectors
Allow for the connector body, cable exit and the actual routing and bend requirements. State your mating connector or interface requirement.
Operating point
Give required force at loaded speed, cycle timing and ambient temperature together. A geometric match needs a separate operating and validation review.
Request to design review
How the package is agreed
01
Describe the fit
Send the application and known space or interface constraints. Unknown model details are acceptable.
02
Clarify configuration
Confirm stroke, motor/screw/control option, ends, connector and the requested file purpose.
03
Confirm available files
Agree the deliverable, drawing revision, confidentiality scope and delivery timing by email.
04
Review and reconcile
Check the files in your CAD system and reconcile any drawing/model difference before design release.
Receiving checklist for your design review
- Model and configuration match the request, including stroke and mounting options.
- 2D and 3D files share the agreed revision and identify the intended position.
- Units, datums, hole pattern, rod-end and connector clearances are understood.
- Controlling drawing and intended use are agreed; open questions are recorded before release.
For a sourced model, request load-speed curves and the relevant test conditions separately. Geometry does not establish supply status or an operating rating.
CAD request questions
Can I download a CAD file immediately?
CAD packages are supplied after configuration and file availability review. This page accepts a request; it does not host a verified model download catalogue. The text download is your request brief. File formats, revision and delivery timing are confirmed by email.
What if I do not have a model number yet?
Leave the family unselected and describe the application. Add the useful stroke, mounting space and required load at speed if known. Engineering can clarify the configuration before identifying the applicable drawing package.
Which CAD and drawing formats can I request?
Select STEP or IGES for a requested 3D exchange model, and PDF or DXF for a requested 2D drawing. State your CAD system and version if import compatibility matters. Availability and detail level depend on the reviewed configuration.
Does a 3D model establish manufacturing tolerances?
Agree the controlling drawing and revision with engineering. An envelope model helps packaging review; dimensional tolerances, fits, mounting details and acceptance requirements belong in the agreed drawing package. Do not infer a tolerance from a rendered surface.
Can I attach my drawing through this form?
The website form sends text only. Use the email action to open a draft, then add your drawing attachments in your email client. For confidential files, request an NDA discussion and agree the recipient and sharing method before sending them. This page does not supply a signed NDA.
Will this request subscribe me to marketing emails?
The contact details are used to respond to this CAD and engineering request. Submitting the form does not subscribe you to a marketing list. The technical brief can also be copied or downloaded without entering contact details.
What should I check when I receive the package?
Match model and configuration, stroke, drawing revision, units and intended position. Check retracted and extended envelope, mounting datums, rod ends, connector and cable space against the agreed drawing. Ask for clarification if the 2D drawing and 3D model disagree.
Does a CAD review confirm product availability or performance?
Supply, price, lead time and performance are confirmed for a specific configuration and operating condition. CAD geometry alone does not establish loaded speed, force, positioning error, duty cycle, lifetime or regulatory suitability.
Engineering handoff
Start with the interface you need to check
Send an application and your current constraints. Add a drawing reference when available; the team will clarify the configuration and applicable files with you.
