Warpdrive offers flexibility in single package
Long-established drives supplier Superior Electric, have launched Warpdrive, their latest micro-stepping positioner, targeted at small OEM's and stand-alone applications
They are available with integrated belt drives or direct drive motors, stepper or servo can be fitted and the LF5 or LF6 allow the belt drive variant to be mounted between the linear slides inside the aluminium profile thus making a compact, aesthetically good assembly.
The anodised aluminium profile measures 225 x 75, 150 x 75 or 75mm square, and is and available in stroke lengths up to 2930mm.
The profile edges are sealed with an abrasive-resistant covering.
Clamping surfaces and profile bases are all plane milled.
Aluminium die-cast end plates are prepared either for flange-mounted direct drive modules or lateral belt drive modules, the slide blocks are also aluminium 2 x 70mm long or 200mm long, clearance free adjustable and with central lubrication.
The ball screw pitches can be 2.5, 4, 5, 10 or 20mm, and the carriages sit on four (two on LF4) precision steel shafts.
The driving collar is steel fitted with sealed angular contact ball bearings.
Black powder-coated aluminium profile is an option, also are electromagnetic brakes, limit switches to give repeatability of +/-0.02mm and a steel slide block assembly kit for limit switches.
The flexibility and performance of the LF series actuators make them ideal for machine tool and high duty applications.
