Roh'Lix® Linear Actuators
Click image to enlarge
Zero-Max Roh’Lix Linear Actuators are threadless, mechanical screw-type devices that utilize rolling-element ball bearings to convert rotational motion into precise and smooth linear motion and thrust. Our Roh’Lix linear actuators provide integrated and adjustable overload protection that operates at lower costs and higher speeds than many alternative actuators. Roh’Lix Linear Actuators carry loads at speeds up to 70” per second, depending on the size, and are easy to install with little to no maintenance required. Zero-Max Linear Motion Actuators are available with a wide range of sizes with various shaft sizes, lead, and thrust options, depending on your application.
Zero-Max provides high-quality Roh’Lix Linear Actuators from our power transmission products to suit your needs. Contact us for more information about our Roh’Lix Linear Actuators or request a quote for more detailed requirements. Please check out our catalog to view specifications.

Zero-Max Linear Actuators Available
Zero-Max offers compact Roh’Lix Linear Actuators in both inch models and metric models, depending on your preference. Our linear motion actuators are designed with quality materials for top performance and are provided in several sizes to suit most shaft and thrust requirements. There are several criteria for to choosing the right Roh’Lix® Linear Actuator, including thrust requirements, Driveshaft Length & RPM, Shaft Diameter, and Desired Linear Speed. Please refer to the Roh’Lix Linear Actuator catalog for further details. The Roh’Lix Linear Actuators offered by Zero-Max include:
- Inch Model Linear Actuators: Shaft diameters ranging from 0.375 inches to 2 inches, with thrust ratings ranging from 1 lb to 200 lbs
- Metric Model Linear Actuators: Shaft diameters ranging from 8mm to 50mm, with thrust ratings ranging from 67N to 887N
Roh’Lix Linear Motion Actuator Features
Zero-Max Roh’Lix Linear Actuators provide high efficiency output with a minimum 90% mechanical efficiency and can be used in horizontal or vertical loading applications. Roh’Lix Linear Actuator bearings are lubricated for life and reduce backlash to less than 0.001 inches for increased accuracy. The overload protection feature can be used to allow the Roh’Lix block to “slip” on the shaft when obstructions are encountered, reducing costly downtime and preventing damage. Aside from occasional minor cleaning, the innovative Roh’Lix design provides maintenance-free operation in most applications. Additional features of Zero-Max Roh’Lix® Linear Actuators include:
- Operate in temperatures ranging from -10°F to 180°F
- Minimum life expectancy of 2 million inches of linear travel
- Over 100 million inches of linear travel achieved with proper application parameters
- Up to 200 lbs. of thrust capacity
- Easy installation and overload setting is easily adjusted via coil springs and Socket-Heat Cap Screws
- Customization options available with various materials, shaft sizes, desired lead, and sizes
Advanced Technology of Roh’Lix Linear Actuators
Zero-Max Roh’Lix Linear Actuators are engineered and designed with state-of-the-art technology to provide a more advanced product for top performance. The Roh’Lix® design consists of six preloaded bearings that contact the shaft at varying angles, tracing out an imaginary screw thread pattern as the shaft rotates. This moves the linear actuator linearly along the shaft and converting rotary motion into linear motion. The distance that the Roh’Lix® Linear Actuator moves in one shaft revolution can vary from 0.025” to 3 times the shaft diameter. Coil springs maintain a constant tension against the adjustment screws, so thrust settings do not change once set. The Roh’Lix is a friction drive device and will show an accumulated error up to 0.002 inches per shaft revolution.
Sideloads and twisting loads should be avoided, as this can lead to uneven bearing loading, which shortens the lifespan. Whenever possible, the load weight on the Roh’Lix Linear Actuator should be supported by a separate linear assembly.
Linear Actuator Applications
With their high-quality, reliable design and ability to convert rotational motion into linear motion, Zero-Max Roh’Lix Linear Actuators are ideal for various industries. The linear actuators are best utilized when linear motion is required for lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, or positioning. Several sectors that use the Zero-Max Roh’Lix Linear Actuators include:
