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.
Long life for captive linear actuator
Haydon Switch and Instrument has developed a size 17 captive linear actuator.
The unique, patent pending design provides incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft.
The two degrees of freedom in movement can be actuated independently or concurrently.
These devices can be run using a standard two-axis stepper motor driver.
Performance can be enhanced using chopper and/or microstepping drives.
The new design has a compact package length, which maximises the linear stroke to unit length ratio.
Using HSI's high quality stepper motors the unit is capable of delivering up to 50lb of thrust and 18oz-in of torque.
The rotary portion is a 1.8-degree step angle, and is able to be microstepped for finer resolutions.
The linear portion uses the same high performance nut as HSI's linear actuators.
No maintenance is required and the entire actuator is designed for long service life.
It is available in a wide variety of resolutions - from 0.00012 to 0.00192in per step and delivers linear speeds exceeding 3in/s.
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 two degree of freedom, controllable motion, pick and place equipment, robotics, and a wide array of instrumentation.
