Need to position precisiely in high vacuum?
Precision linear motion systems for ultra high vacuum conditions (UHV) have been introduced by Heason Technologies Group.
With linear motors, all mechanical transmission devices such as ball/lead screws, rack and pinions, belts/pulleys and gearboxes are eliminated.
Consequently, inaccuracies arising from backlash, compliance, incompatibility and any other problems associated with the use of mechanical components are avoided.
Inherent benefits offered by the linear motors from Heason, include zero maintenance - no moving parts - high stiffness, high positional accuracy, compactness, minimal component count, very smooth velocity, and quiet operation.
The iron core motor provides the highest force per frame size and features a patented anti-cogging performance that ensures extremely smooth operation.
In addition, it has a very low profile and low attraction force, making it suitable for many applications where typically ironless motors would have been employed.
Performance characteristics include peak force from 170 to 1130N and continuous from 57 to 315N; high constant torque; high force density; zero contact, brushless design; peak accelerations in excess of 25Gs; high accuracy; very low settling time; low thermal losses; modular magnet design; and magnetic way-covers for easy cleaning.
These new linear motors are compatible with Heason's standard range of proven digital drives.
