Integrated Linear Thrusters
Main characteristics
• Rugged linear stages with integrated
direct-drive linear motor or
ballscrew with Kinetix MP servo motor
• Available in three frame sizes (base
widths) to accommodate a variety of
load requirements for general
automation
• Smart Motor Technology (ballscrew)
• Very high linear speeds (direct drive)
• Out of box alignment of 30 arc seconds
• Field replaceable quick change cable management
for ease of maintenance
• Caged ball-type linear guides that retain lubrication
for longer bearing life and provide lower noise
levels
• Absolute encoders on ballscrew axis and
incremental encoders on direct-drive linear motor
axis
• Kinetix MP motor power and feedback connectors
for connection to Allen-Bradley extension cables
and drives
• Access holes for easy lubrication
Precise, high-speed, iron-core linear actuators with a built-
in linear guide. As a pre-engineered solution, the integrated
linear thrusters can help:
• Reduce engineering, design, and documentation time
• Decrease the amount of mechanisms and components
needed to build a custom solution
• Reduce the time to install the axis into a machine
• Increase reliability due to direct-drive technology with
single linear guide, single wear item, caged-ball linear
bearings, and elimination of wear items associated with
rotary to linear motion conversion
Features
• 200/230V and 400/460V operation (only 230V operation for direct-drive 150 mm frame size)
• High-energy (rare-earth) magnets
• Heavy duty connectors
• Operation without limit and home switches
• Carriage and base mounting design allows 200 mm and 250 mm frame sizes to be stacked
• Standard Kinetix MP motor power and feedback connectors
• Optional air purge kit for added protection against ingress of foreign substances
• Integrated linear bearing provides the ability to carry a
load without having to mount and align external
bearings
• Optimal strip cover for added bearing protection in
harsh environments
• Multiple mounting surfaces and methods for ease of
mounting into your machine
• Couples directly to the item that needs to be moved
Actuator type
• Direct-drive linear stage
• Ballscrew-drive linear stage
• Direct-drive linear thrusters
• Frame sizes 30, 50, 75, 100 and 150 mm
Environmental rating
Unique, long life strip seal system provides IP30 environmental rating to prevent debris, larger
than 2.5 mm (0.1 in.) diameter, from entering the linear stage
