Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, a premier manufacturer of
linear motion products, has released a new version of the popular 36mm G4
linear actuator. This configuration includes a special adapter plate that
allows the smaller 36mm OD unit to replace existing size 17 hybrid stepper
motor linear actuators.
The performance of the 36mm G4 linear actuator not only
exceeds the performance of comparable size can stack actuators in the
marketplace but also meets the performance of the larger hybrid size 17 single
stack actuators. The 36mm unit with the integrated size 17 adapter plate easily
replaces existing hybrid units by using the same bolt pattern and pilot surface.
Assuming the higher step resolution of the hybrid style
actuators isn’t required for the application, the 36mm can-stack with the size
17 adapter plate provides the performance and life of the more expensive size
17 units. Force output range of the G4 36mm can stack is from 70N to 260N (16lb
to 58lb). Output resolution ranges from 0.013mm (0.0005”) to 0.102mm (0.004”)
per step command.
The G4 linear actuator architecture employs the latest
technologies to extend reliability and meet higher performance requirements. The
design utilizes optimized teeth geometry along with high-energy neodymium
magnets that result in a higher continuous force output in a small package. With
20% higher output force across the entire speed range, compared with other
designs of similar size, the G4 also contains the latest custom-engineered
plastics and larger bearings for greater rotor support and higher axial load
capability.
The 36mm linear actuator is ideal for applications that
include medical equipment, bar code scanning devices, printing equipment,
laboratory instrumentation and other mechanisms requiring high force in a small
package. As with other Hayden stepper motor linear actuators, there are three configurations
available: Captive, Non-Captive, and External Linear.
