Actuators offer clean linear positioning

A new range of high-thrust linear actuators offers clean, precise linear positioning by means of rotating or nonrotating spindles.

Atlanta Drive Systems has a new range of high-thrust linear actuators, offering clean, precise linear positioning by means of rotating or nonrotating spindles.

Linear speeds up to 13,970mm/min can be achieved and strokes up to 508mm are available as standard.

Axial load capacities up to 16.3t are possible, with higher load capacities reached by using two actuators in tandem to share the loads.

Applications requiring precise, controlled linear motion with a high degree of safety are perfect for these drives.

Typical applications include sheet metal bending, hydraulic cylinder replacements, conveyor tensioning, and scissor-lift table drives.

Industries served include materials handling, automation and automotive.

These actuators also include safety devices to track the spindle travel position and any wear of the supporting nut.

Additional safety can be realised with an internal safety nut in case of failure of the supporting nut.

The actuators can be self-locking (the axial load will not back drive the gearbox and motor), which is critical for machines that must hold a load stationary even with a loss of power.
