V-Slot Mini V Linear Actuator GT2 timing belt drive with Nema17 Stepper Motor
V-Slot Mini V Linear Actuator (Belt Driven)
This V-Slot Mini V Linear Actuator (Belt Driven) is a fast and easy solution to a V-Slot Gantry System.
This V-Slot Mini V Linear Actuator (Belt Driven) is a fast and easy solution to a V-Slot Gantry System.
This kit utilises standard v-slot parts to create a very simple but powerful belt-driven linear actuator. The belt-driven linear actuator takes advantage of the v groove and uses the precise and strong mini v wheels for smooth linear motion. The linear actuator can be used for a whole host of applications, from a simple camera slider to a modular 3D Printer design.
Because this kit uses all standard v-slot parts it can be easily combined with more of these actuators, other types, or a design of your own to quickly build a functional machine.

Tools required:
Pro Tip:
- Don’t forget to slide the Gantry onto the V-Slot before you attach both Actuator Pulley Plates.
- Don’t forget to attach the Timing Pulley to the Nema17 Motor shaft before attaching the Motor to the Plate.
- 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 of the Gantry
- Pull the other Actuator Pulley Plate away to Tension the GT2 Belt, tighten the screws on the plate while it is under tension.
