What We Do
Midwest Automation Supply is a full service linear guide and actuator supplier located in Zeeland, Michigan. We specialize in helping companies to match the ideal linear guides and linear actuators for their specific linear motion applications. We currently stock PMI rail and carriages and Motek linear actuators. Our in-house CNC machining capabilities mean we can modify (cut) your square rail linear guideways to meet your precise requirements (FREE of charge). We provide linear guideways and linear actuators to companies nationwide.
What are Linear Actuators?
Linear actuators use linear force to turn rotational motion into linear motion — motion in a straight line. Linear actuators are used in a wide variety of machines and equipment. Common automation tasks for linear actuators include sorting, filling, conveying and more. Linear actuators can be reprogrammed to handle your applications today and into the future.
What are Linear Guides?
Linear guides excel at delivering heavy objects or products with ease. Linear guides are well-suited for linear motion applications that require the ability to move high loads, high speeds and a great degree of accuracy. When you buy our linear guides, we can cut them to the exact length you need. FREE of charge.

About Us

ARE YOU USING THE RIGHT LINEAR GUIDES AND ACTUATORS FOR YOUR APPLICATION?
It isn’t always easy to identify the proper linear motion system for your application. Using the acronym LOSTPED, we can address factors that should be considered when choosing and sizing a linear motion system. What is LOSTPED? Load, Orientation, Speed, Travel, Precision, Environment and Duty Cycle. Taking these factors into account will result in a better automation outcome. Need help? We can help you achieve the outcome you’re looking for.
