Modular welding guns

   
   

An actuator designed for use with a welding gun of the type having a first electrode movable in a straight line toward and away from a second electrode supported by a welding arm. The actuator includes a housing with a first and second end. A bushing with a generally square opening defined therethrough is supported in the first end of the housing. An actuator rod extends through the square opening in the bushing and has a first end inside the housing and a second end disposed external to the housing. The actuator rod has an external surface with a generally square cross section such that the external surface engages the square opening to prevent rotary motion of the rod with respect to the housing. A drive mechanism is disposed in the housing and is operable to move the rod with respect to the housing. The drive mechanism may be a pneumatic actuator or a rotary screw drive.
