Linear Actuators Suited to Repetitive Applications
The new Exlar K Series of linear actuators from Inmoco is designed to provide a universal solution for rod-style actuator applications and is even suitable for use in arduous environments. The K Series actuators use the company's patented roller screw technology and offer the user a choice of multiple - and lower-cost - motor technologies. The new electromechanical actuators provide a clean, fast, simple and cost-effective replacement for hydraulic actuation, delivering a solution that offers excellent life and performance, according to Exlar.
In addition, with dimensions consistent to those for ISO metric pneumatic actuators, the K Series units also provide a simpler, longer-life alternative to pneumatic cylinders. The K Series is available with the option of multiple grades of planetary roller screws and with an option for an ACME screw for applications where backlash cannot be tolerated. The patented roller screw mechanism enables the company to provide reliable, long-lasting electromechanical actuators.
The design of the roller screws allows them to be accelerated and rotated faster than comparably sized ball screws, while their large contact area allows high force characteristics and provides long life - typically 15 times that of comparably sized ball screws - even in demanding repetitive applications. The actuators are enclosed in anodised aluminium housings that ensure excellent corrosion resistance and reliable operation in many arduous environments. They also benefit from main rods manufactured from nickel-plated steel as standard, ensuring excellent wear characteristics.
In addition, the standard body design of the K Series provides an IP65-sealed housing and motor mount (when allowed by the design of the motor used). This allows the actuators to be used in applications where spray is present, without the requirement - and cost - of special options. For applications not served by the standard K Series product design, Exlar offers a variety of special materials and coating options. The aluminium actuator body components of the K Series actuators can be provided with alternative coatings such as Type III hard-coat anodising, electro-less nickel plating, epoxy coating or paint.
In addition, the actuator main rod can be provided in stainless steel for greater corrosion resistance. The K Series actuators provide users with flexibility in the type and style of motor to be mounted to the actuators. The user can select mounting provisions for brushless servomotors, stepper motors, DC brushed motors and any other motor type that will fulfil the actuation requirements. Complementing its adaptability to multiple motor types, the K Series offers a flexible mounting system. The mounting options include front and rear flange, rear clevis, rear eye, adjustable side trunnion, end angles, foot mount and in-line Exlar servomotor with rear clevis.
The initial launch of the K Series actuators covers two models: the KM60 and the KX60. The KM provides an economical planetary screw design unit, while the KX delivers maximum thrust and life from its planetary roller screw.
