SERVOTUBE 38 ACTUATOR
The ServoTube 38 Actuator is an optimal solution
for industrial position control. Faster than a
ballscrew with the clean reliability of a linear motor,
the ServoTube 38 is a cost-effective alternative to
air cylinders in applications requiring greater
flexibility and control.
Four models
The ServoTube 38 Actuator incorporates an IP67 rated
forcer and a sealed stainless steel thrust rod enclosing
rare-earth magnets. Four models deliver a continuous
force range of 137-276 N (31-62 lb) with peak forces up
to 1860N (418 lb). Nine stroke lengths are available
from 33- 318 mm
The patented magnetic design of ServoTube 38
generates 25 micron (0.98 mil) repeatability and 400
micron (16 mil) accuracy from a non-contact, integral
position sensor. No external encoder is required.
Position output is industry standard 1V pk-pk sin/cos
signals.
Maintenance free
The XTA has an internal dry bearing which provides a
clean, quiet, maintenance free performance. Life
expectancy far exceeds typical ballscrew solutions. The
ServoTube 38 Actuator is ideal for push/pull/lift material
handling, packaging and automated assembly
applications. ServoTube 38 accepts a range of industry
standard accessories for simple mechanical integration.
Plug and Play
Flexible mid-stroke position control is simple with Xenus
- a matched, self-tuning indexer complete with plug-
and-play cabling. Simply select your ServoTube 38
model number and the system comes up tuned and
ready to run. Clear diagnostics make system
commissioning easy. Fill in the blanks to define position,
velocity and acceleration.
SERVOTUBE 38
ServoTube 38 delivers the speed of a belt-drive
system with the clean reliability of a linear motor at
a price unprecedented in the industry. Familiar
form factor, integral position feedback and large air
gap make installation simple.
The ServoTube 38 motor components comprise an
IP67 rated forcer and a sealed stainless steel thrust rod
enclosing rare-earth magnets. Four models deliver a
continuous force range of 137-276 N (31-62 lb) with
peak forces up to 1860 N (418 lb). A range of Thrust
Rods are available for travel lengths up to 1362 mm.
The patented magnetic design of ServoTube 38
generates 25 micron (0.98 mil) repeatability and 400
micron (16 mil) accuracy from a non-contact, integral
position sensor. No external encoder is required.
Position output is industry standard 1V pk-pk sin/cos
signals.
Easy Integration
ServoTube 38 is an ideal OEM solution for easy
integration into pick-and-place gantries and general
purpose material handling machines. The load is
mounted directly to the Forcer typically supported by a
single bearing rail. The Thrust Rod is mounted at both
ends, similar to a ballscrew. A large air gap reduces
alignment constraints.
