Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division has announced that its Bayside brand of Gen II gearheads are now available as a standard option on its Daedal brand of HPLA and HLE positioners.

After achieving more than one million cycles under thorough, rigorous testing conditions, Parker's PS, PV and PX gearheads are now standard options on the Daedal HPLA and HLE series of belt-driven positioners.

This option is designed to offer shorter lead times, plus reduced components and complexity (since there is no need for additional bearing supports for the motor pulley).

'With the Parker Bayside gearheads now included in the HPLA configurable, the lead time for a total Parker solution has decreased significantly,' says Ben Furnish, product manager for Daedal's linear products.

'The Gen II gearheads are strong enough for direct-drive, unsupported pulleys, which reduces the overall system price,' he added.

The HPLA can move loads 50m, while the HLE actuator has a 20m range.

Both the HPLA and HLE actuators handle speeds up to 5m/s, loads to 1,600kg, and generate up to 5,500N of thrust force.

Additional HPLA/HLE features include nominal drive torque up to 244Nm, repeatability up to +/- 0.05mm and a high degree of mechanical efficiency.

Independent multiple carriages can be used on one linear actuator for rack-and-pinion drives.

The Bayside Gen II PS, PV and PX gearheads feature high torque, high efficiency and quiet operation.
