SERVOTUBE ELEMENTS
Thrust Rod: sealed stainless steel tube encloses rare-eart magnets.patented configuration ensures high density, uniform magnetic field.
Forcer: rugged,IP67 rated enclosues the moter coils and position sensing electronics.
forcer field interacts with thrust Rod magnets for 51-104 N (11-23 lb) of continuous force.
OPTIMAL SOLUTION
in the past, OEMs were forced to compromise on speend on speed,reliability,ruggedness and cost in linear positioning application.Ballscrews are speed limited.Belt drives are subject to wear and needadjustment.The the traditional linear motor is diffcult to install and require an expensive and fragile linear encoder.
ServoTube is a breakthrough in performance for pick-and-place gantries and general purpose material handling.
The patented magnetic desing delivers 12 micron (0.5 mil) repeatability from a non-contact, integral sensor.The load is mounted directly to the Forcer supported by a single bearing rail. the thrust integral sensor.The load is munted directl to the Forcer supported by a single bearing rail.The Thrust Rod is mounted at both ends,similar to a ballscrew. A large air gap reduces alignment constraints.
