Low cost linear actuator range unveiled by Heason Technology
Heason Technology has announced a new series of linear actuators aimed at oem positioning applications in automated manufacturing and test equipment.
The H series devices are available in seven selectable travel ranges from 25 to 300mm, and are offered in a choice of integrated or separate stepper motor/drive combinations.
The modules feature a modular design to provide a flexible mounting system for XY, XYZ and gantry systems, as well as telescopically arranged linear axes for extended Z-axis travel.
The actuator's design is based on an extruded profile housing with T-slots that facilitate multi-axis actuator mounting, optional limit switches and customer fixtures. A fixed cover plate provides additional protection and is arranged to allow unrestricted carriage travel.
The carriage is supported by a linear guide bearing for maximum rigidity and a choice of commercial or precision grade leadscrews are available to suit application performance and budget. A flexible coupling and anti-backlash nut arrangement is said to guarantee high stiffness with repeatability stated at 0.2 microns for the commercial grade option and 0.1 microns for the precision grade version.
