Short Stroke Actuators
December 1, 2015
ETEL now offers short stroke actuators in North America through parent company HEIDENHAIN Corporation. These Z Standalone Actuators are designed for any application where force, throughput and long lifetime are required within a small form factor.
These actuators have been designed to cope with the stringent requirements of turret testing handlers, providing an average of 10 independent Z axes for a single machine. Nevertheless, ETEL's short stroke actuators are designed for all applications requiring pure axial movement over a short stroke, especially when high dynamics and a small footprint are key requirements. Such applications include touch pad calibration, chip shooters, die ejectors and more.
"ETEL's Z Standalone Actuators are designed with costs in mind. Teflon-coated plain bearings offer a long lifetime with low friction, while keeping costs low. A low overall number of parts, plastic injected covers and automated production all contribute to cost effectiveness," said a company spokesperson.
ETEL's short stroke actuators are also designed for high performance. Despite the small form factor, these actuators are capable of providing a peak force of up to 120 N and a continuous force of up to 30 N. With acceleration up to 30 g and speeds up to 1 m/s, the Z Standalone Actuator is designed to handle almost any application requiring high dynamics.
The advantages offered by ETEL Z Standalone Actuators include:
- Optimized form factor
- Built-in gravity compensator
- Highly accurate force control capabilities
- High dynamics
- Long lifetime
- Multiple degrees of freedom.
