Selecting the optimum motion control solution for the application
09 March, 2011A machine with optimum motion control will help the end user improve the bottom line through labour reduction, higher throughput and faster return on investment. Motion control that is easy to use and set up, straightforward to troubleshoot, and backed by a quality support team adds to the advantages of the physical solution.
Exlar EL100 explosion-proof linear actuators
20 December, 2010 byExlar’s linear actuator line has been expanded to include the EL100 explosion-proof linear actuators, rated for Class I, Div 1, Groups B, C, D and T3 hazardous environments. The EL100 linear actuators also meet ATEX requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and are in conformity with the EU ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.
Exlar SLM and SLG rotary actuators
17 December, 2010 byExlar’s SLM and SLG rotary actuators are now available with Class I, Division 2 Certification, meeting application requirements for use in hazardous environments.
Exlar GSX and GSM linear actuators
17 December, 2010 byExlar’s GSX and GSM linear actuators now offer Class I, Division 2 certification. Suitable for process control valve and damper applications, the linear actuators provide continuous hold on the position of the valve stem or shaft. This allows for a fast response to small command signal changes without overshoot - even when friction is present. This design results in improved loop performance and reduced process variability.
Linak LA23 electric actuator
29 October, 2010 byThe LA23 electric actuator can push or pull up to 2500 N with a stroke length of up to 300 mm.
Kistler Staiger Mohilo NCF-H servo-driven press spindle
20 July, 2010 byThe Kistler Staiger Mohilo NCF-H is the latest model in the Kistler range of servo-driven press spindles. The NCF-H is built with a hollow shaft motor, allowing a compact design for the press spindle. The integrated piezoelectric force sensor allows extreme overload situations and dual range operation.
ERD electric rod-style actuators
20 July, 2010Tolomatic ERD electric rod-style actuators are designed as an electric alternative to pneumatic cylinders. They can deliver forces up to 334 N at speeds up to 1016 mm/s. ERD actuators are stroke configurable and are suitable for a wide variety of applications, including product changeovers, pick-and-place, sorting and diverting, and heat-staking.
Tolomatic ICR linear SmartActuator with reverse-parallel motor
21 June, 2010 byTolomatic’s ICR linear rod-style SmartActuator is available with a reverse-parallel mounted motor. With the motor mounted on top of the actuator instead of inline, the length of the total package is reduced, giving the actuator greater versatility and performance in industrial motion-control applications.
Tolomatic IMA integrated-motor rod-style actuator
28 April, 2010 byTolomatic’s integrated-motor rod-style actuator (IMA) is now capable of delivering up to 14.6 kN of force when equipped with the roller-screw option. The actuator incorporates a hollow-core rotor and skewed motor windings into its servomotor design for a compact package with increased dynamic performance and service life compared to traditional rod-style actuators. The integrated motor design is suitable for applications such as pressing, clamping, valve control, spot welding and volumetric filling.
Motion Technologies distributes HaydonKerk Motion products
30 November, 2009Amalgamation of Haydon Switch and Kerk Motion expands product range.
Kistler Staiger Mohilo NC joining module
13 November, 2009 byThe Kistler Staiger Mohilo NC joining module is suitable for force-displacement monitored assembly press-fit and joining processes in compact configurations.
Electric linear actuator
10 November, 2009 byThe integrated-motor actuator (IMA) from Tolomatic combines a servomotor with Tolomatic’s rod-style actuator in a compact package. The IMA’s integrated design provides higher dynamic performance by eliminating the need for separate motors, couplers, motor mounts, gearing and belts. The result is reduced component costs, assembly time and failure points.
Linear servomotors
26 October, 2009 byThe Allen-Bradley LDC-Series and LDL-Series of linear servomotors are designed to provide machine builders with precise, reliable linear motion capabilities at a cost-effective pricepoint. With no ‘wear items’, such as bearings, gears and belts, that routinely need to be maintained or replaced, theses linear motors are claimed to feature improved reliability over other linear actuation methods.
Rail brakes
30 July, 2009Nexen RB and RBE series rail brakes are available in spring-engaged and electric models, delivering a secure hold in the broadest range of linear motion control applications.
