Hybrid linear actuator is accurate and durable
HSI's Size 17 hybrid linear actuator is the newest addition to an extensive line of award winning miniature motors.
The actuator is based on a unique, patent pending design and incorporates HSI's proven motor technology.
This unit simplifies bulky and complex mechanisms.
A limitless number of operating parameters are offered allowing each device to be custom manufactured according to customer specific application requirements.
Using HSI's high quality stepper motors the unit is available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from 0.0003125 to 0.001in per step, delivers thrusts of up to 200lb, and 65oz-in of torque without compromising long life.
The rotary portion is a 1.8-degree step angle, however, it can be microstepped for finer resolution.
The linear portion uses the same thermoplastic nut material as HSI's high-efficiency long-life linear actuators.
The product requires no maintenance (permanent lubrication) and is priced aggressively.
The linear rotary unit allows for simplified system design and a reduction in the number of components.
It is ideal for use in tight fitting applications requiring precise controllable motion, pick and place equipment, robotics, and a wide array of instrumentation.
