Industrial News Buzz - The Direct Drive Linear Servo Econo-Slide system is a direct drive linear actuator that eliminates wear, friction, backlash and compliances associated with mechanical transmissions
IntelLiDrives Linear Motors Benefits:
Zero maintenance
Zero backlash and compliance
High stiffness
High positional accuracy
Compact mechanical assembly
Reduced parts count in the machine
Smooth velocity Linear Motor Brushless Forcer features non-contact design and low cogging for fast and accurate positioning. Double rod carriage support bearings are integrated into the linear actuator slide to support moving carriage and to provide dynamic stiffness and precise straightness of travel.
Bearing rollers are magnetically preloaded by the carriage against magnet track. Integral Linear Non-contact Encoder with resolution 1 microns is mounted in the linear actuator to minimize thermal drift. Linear actuator has limit sensors to establish end of travel and "home" positions.
Cable Transport Module with high flex robotic cable is installed and pre-wired to the amplifier. Econo-Slide linear actuator can be mounted up-side down and vertically with optional linear brake Multi-axes gantry and XY systems can be easily constructed using Linear Servo Econo-Slides linear actuators.
