Description

The heavy duty belt driven linear actuator EGHP120F has a unique, optimized cross section for maximum rigidity and resilience. As a dynamic linear actuator, it attains immoderate speeds even with large loads and lengthy strokes.

Product Details

The challenge for mechanical automation systems in the past has been the successful conversion of rotational motion from electric or mechanical motors into useful forms of linear motion. A breakthrough in this regard, the conveyor belt gadget represented one of the first useful implementations of rotary to linear motion conversion for use in a manufacturing environment. These systems are able to transport a wide variety of raw materials and workpieces in a a long way more efficient manner than should previously be accomplished by the use of brute mechanical forces and are extremely useful in production environments.

Today, significant engineering work in the area of rotary action conversion has yielded a diverse class of linear mechanical actuators which are useful for a broad range of advanced automation applications. The challenge is selecting an excellent actuator for the desired functionality, be it simply the movement of raw material in a manufacturing environment or the construction of more advanced motion systems designed to pass tooling into precise positions.

Product Description

In order to select the proper linear mechanical actuator, some important considerations, such as the desired load capacity, or thrust force, and necessary stroke distance, want to be taken into account. While these are primary considerations, others such as maintenance burden in reality play an important role as well.

Two widely used types of mechanized linear actuators are differentiated by their pressure mechanisms- belt-driven and ball screw driven actuators. Both types are employed in similar types of applications, then again the two differ significantly in function. Each type possesses unique strengths and important limitations which must be carefully considered in the selection of an actuator.

Belt-Driven Actuators: The belt-driven actuator operates under the same principles as the conveyor belt system. The belt drive translates rotary motion to linear motion via a timing belt related between two circular pulleys. The timing belt is usually made from a fiber-reinforced elastomer, but many other belt materials are available for more demanding applications. The belt contains teeth that interface with the rotor pulleys to efficiently transfer torque and prevent slipping. The belt power is enclosed inside an aluminum body while the carriage rides on top, and the driveshaft interface is typically situated perpendicular to the facet of the actuator.
