SKF launches big range of parts for machine tools
A complete package of products, aimed specifically at machine tool builders and users, has been unveiled by SKF Engineering Products Limited.
The FD A1 has a maximum push force of 6kN and a maximum pull force of 4kN, with an operating speed from 2.6 to 4.2mm/s, depending on load.
For the FD A2 models, the corresponding figures are 3kN push, 2kN pull, with operating speeds from 6.2 to 8.2mm/s.
Both types are offered in models with stroke lengths ranging from 50 to 300mm.
All FD-series actuators are supplied complete with integral limit switches, making them easy to integrate with control systems of all types.
They are offered with a choice of Hall-effect or reed-switch position encoders which, according to the type selected, provide from 0.625 to 10 pulses per millimetre of actuator movement.
Part of a complete system which includes control boxes, convenient handheld operating units and a wide range of accessories, FD-series actuators operate from a 24V DC supply, ensuring complete electrical safety even in difficult operating environments.
They have an IP52 ingress protection rating and, to help maximise their versatility, feature a rear clevis which can be turned through a full 90 degrees.
Ideal for use with Jaeger FD-series actuators from SKF are CB200 control boxes which can, if required, be mounted directly on the actuator.
These control boxes are available with integrated overload protection and an anti-pinching function, and are compatible with robust HS-series one- and two-button handsets. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
