A heavy duty version of the market leading OSP linear actuator is based around a four-row recirculating ball bearing guide and polished, hardened steel guide rail.
Hoerbiger-Origa has launched a heavy duty version of its market leading OSP linear actuator, based around a four-row recirculating ball bearing guide and polished, hardened steel guide rail.
Manufactured in sizes 25 to 50, loads up to 18kN can be carried by the OSP-HD unit.
As with all OSP models, the new versions are available in both electric and rodless pneumatic drive versions.
Designed to carry the heaviest of loads and moments, the HD unit has a twin-guide rail construction to give the highest possible level of load support and rigidity.
The precision guide rails are mounted to single piece aluminium profiles, coupled to the actuator via dovetail mounting grooves, such that maximum rigidity and loads can be borne in all directions.
The mounting profile includes t-slots for attaching sensors and can also accommodate Hoerbiger-Origa's new SFI-Plus incremental encoder for real time position monitoring.
A cover is provided for the slots, which can be positioned after the sensors are mounted to protect and contain their cables.
For simple limited stroke applications, the slots can be used to hold mechanical stops, for which a range of shock absorbers are available.
The OSP-HD unit is ideally suited to multi-axis handling applications, for which the high level of rigidity and load capacity are a major advantage.
When used in combination with other multi-axis modular components available from Hoerbiger-Origa, automation of even complex handling tasks can readily be achieved.
Further application areas include assembly machines, vertical installations with high cantilever loadings, x-y tables, and applications demanding precise and repeatable movements (particularly when using the screw driven versions) The rigour of detail design that runs through the whole OSP actuator family reflects machine builders' increasing requirements for total rationality in the components and subsystems they incorporate into their designs.
This reduces their design effort, rationalises there stock holding and simplifies procurement.
Significantly it makes their machines more easily reconfigurable and adaptable for a long working life.
