A downhole tool includes a tool body and a first anchoring device integrated with the tool body. The first anchoring device includes at least two linear actuators within and non-perpendicular to the tool body, each of the at least two linear actuators configured to move a corresponding contact pad between a retracted position and an anchor position. The first anchoring device also includes at least one guide component coupled to each contact pad to restrict movement of a corresponding contact pad to a predetermined path.
