New MTE and MTS Series Expand the Industrial Belt-Driven Family

PBC Linear will be presenting the latest linear motion technologies at Automate 2026 in Booth #1269 including two new belt-driven actuator series for the industrial market, a step into programmable mechatronics on the precision side, and an early look at PBC Linear’s first family of electric cylinders. New MTE and MTS Series Expand the Industrial Belt-Driven Family  For the large-format industrial market, PBC Linear is extending its MT Series (pictured above) of belt-driven linear actuators with two new variants — the MTE and MTS — built on the same architecture as the established MTB Series but engineered for applications that demand greater rigidity, higher payloads, and longer strokes. The MTE Series introduces a dual-profile rail guidance system to enhance rigidity and load capacity over the single-rail MTB while remaining more compact than the MTS. This makes it well suited for industrial automation, material handling, robotics, and gantry applications where space is at a premium. The MTS Series steps up further, using a full dual-profile rail configuration to support multi-axis Cartesian gantry systems in material handling, automotive, packaging, and large-scale assembly applications with higher demands for stroke length and load capacity.
