At IKO and Automationware, we strive to offer an exceptional procurement experience, excellent service and prompt shipping. However, we also know there’s something to be said for familiarity when procuring motion components. To that end, we want to give you the convenience of purchasing our products from a site that you probably already use, Amazon. IKO is proud to announce that select Automationware axes and actuators are now available for direct purchase through Amazon.com. Limited quantities of six actuator models are in stock and ready to ship (including via Prime), facilitating rapid prototyping and quick proof-of-concept validation, and potentially reducing downtime.

Here are some reasons why purchasing axes and actuators via Amazon is a sound choice:

• A familiar e-commerce experience. Sometimes there’s no substitute for the familiar. Most everyone who shops Amazon from home is already comfortable with the site’s interface and payment methods, so you will be able to find and order parts quickly and easily.
• Fast, convenient delivery. Amazon is renowned for its extraordinary logistics and a variety of delivery options. Not surprisingly, it’s easy to rely on Amazon for prompt and accurate delivery.
• One-stop shopping. You can purchase a wide variety of disparate items in one visit to the site, saving time.

Here are the Automationware products you’ll find on Amazon.com along with the Amazon ASIN and IKO part numbers:

• Motion Line (ML) small and medium belt drive actuators (ML45 and ML80). These actuators are built using tough, anodized aluminum, and the drive system features an adjustable toothed polyurethane belt with steel inserts. Additional features include integrated mounting channels on the body of the actuator (square nuts included), easy maintenance and low noise.
