About the Belt actuator Kit:

The 500mm Belt Actuator Kit is a fast and reliable linear actuator. Its simple design makes it easy to implement in any project. There are size variations available, and the only differences between the sizes are the lengths of the belt and the Aluminum V-slot rail. All other components remain the same.

The Kit Includes:

Unpack the Package and Check all Components

It's important to get organized before beginning any build. Unpack all parts of your kit and verify each piece against the Bill of Materials. If any pieces are missing, contact us right away.

Important Pre-Assembly Notes

Before starting your build, we suggest taking a minute to read through the assembly guide so you can get an idea of how everything fits together. Pay close attention to each step and make sure you understand the instructions before continuing. Also, be mindful when attaching parts - if it feels like you're having to put a lot of force into it, stop, re-read the instructions, and try again. Don't over-tighten screws - doing so may strip the thread or head. If you have any questions about the build, don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can chat with us live on the store website or email us at contactus@imakerstore.com - we're here to help!

We value your time, that's why we ship our products with pre-assembled subassemblies like wheel kits and gantry carts to make your build process faster and simpler. Need help with our products?

Follow the below steps for the linear actuator assembly

Step1: Wheel Assembly: Check assembly instructions here

Step2: Pulley Wheel Assembly: Check assembly instructions here

Step3: Gantry Assembly: Check assembly instructions here

Step4: Idler pulley end plate assembly

It is easy to assemble the M5x8 screws and M5 tee nuts on the plate. However, do not tighten them as these are used for fixing the sub-assembly to the V-slot rail. The M5x25mm screw and M5 nylon lock nut are part of the Idler Pulley Wheel Kit.

Step5: Motor end plate assembly

You have two options when putting together this assembly. The package comes with all the required pieces for the various configurations. To make it more interesting, here are some simplified instructions.

Insert M5x8 screws and M5 tee nuts on the plate. However, do not tighten them as these are used for fixing the sub-assembly to the V-slot rail. Use M3x10 Button head screws for the motor assembly of configuration-1. Use the Aluminum Spacers – 30mm, and M3x35 Button head screws for the motor assembly of configuration-2.

Configuration-1:

Configuration-2:

Step6: Attaching gantry cart to V-slot

Note: Make sure the gantry cart runs smoothly along the V-slot rail by adjusting the eccentric spacers.

Step7: Fixing idler pulley end plate assembly to V-slot

Step8: Fixing motor end plate assembly to V-slot

Step9: Attaching belt to the actuator

Follow this process for correct tensioning the GT2 Belt:

• Tighten the screws on one Actuator Pulley Plate to secure the Plate in position.
• Feed the Belt over the Pulleys and through the hollow center of the V-Slot.
• Tie or Clamp the GT2 Belt on both sides (at the red-colored circles) of the Gantry using the zip ties/belt clamps, as shown in the above image.
• Pull the other Actuator Pulley Plate away (see  the blue arrow) to Tension the GT2 Belt, and tighten the screws on the Plate while it is under tension
•
