The ACT140DL high-performance, cost-effective, linear-servomotor-driven actuator is faster and more accurate than a ball screw or belt-drive, and it doesn’t require costly, time-consuming maintenance. An integrated, assembled mechanical system, the ACT140DL eliminates the design complexity and guesswork in choosing and assembling individual components.
Design Features
•High performance, cost-effective actuator
•Travel range from 100 mm to 1.5 m
•Acceleration capability up to 5 g
•Velocity capability up to 5 m/s
•Maximum continuous force output up to 173.2 N
•Maintenance free, direct drive, zero-cogging motor and noncontact optical linear encoder
The ACT140DL is ideal for applications including assembly, pick and place machines, electronic assembly and qualification, packaging, vision inspection, dispensing, life sciences, image scanning and processing and inkjet printing.
Linear Motor Drive
Aerotech’s high-power, cog-free linear motors drive the ACT series in no load conditions to accelerations of 5 g and a top speed of 5 m/s, enabling the ideal solution to increase throughput. The stiff mechanical structure of the actuator allows for excellent dynamic performance and reduced settling times. The non-magnetic forcer coil provides high force with zero cogging for super-smooth velocity and position control. This zero cogging design is ideal for applications requiring outstanding contour accuracy and smooth velocity profiling. As with all Aerotech linear motor stages, the linear motor has zero backlash, no windup, zero friction and outstanding system responsiveness.
