Linear motor claims many productivity advantages
The ServoTube linear motor is the new workhorse from Copley Controls, offering compelling productivity advantages over ballscrews, belt drives and pneumatic positioners.
Linear actuator produces more power
Producing 1860N peak force the ServoTube 38 extends linear motor-based actuation to heavier duty applications.
Nine stroke lengths from 33 to 318mm are available.
The actuators provide 20um repeatability, velocity to 4.6m/s, and acceleration to 435m/s2.
A breakthrough in magnetic design enables the actuator's noncontact Hall position sensor to eliminate the traditional external position encoder.
Integral solid-state feedback lays the foundation for IP67 rating, installation ease, food-safe operation and outstanding control flexibility.
ServoTube actuators are equipped with long life, lubrication-free bearings that ensure quiet operation and provide years of maintenance-free production.
The actuator's combination of power, speed, and repeatability maximise throughput, while superior controllability brings seamless integration into PLC control systems.
Powerful ServoTube actuators provide a cost effective drop-in alternative to servo-controlled air cylinders in flexible manufacturing automation.
No compressed air and no continuously operating compressor needed.
The actuators also replace ballscrew and belt drive positioners.
The actuators are used with versatile Xenus controllers, which run on 120/240V AC.
Xenus controllers provide comprehensive motion sequencing capability, electronic camming, and DeviceNet/CANopen connectivity.
