Linear Actuator targets clean room environments.
July 17, 2008 -
Featuring corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free design, Model CGL15N/CGL20N includes seal mechanism and full size cover for minimized particle generation. THK Caged Technology employs synthetic resin cage with curvature that cradles each ball and separates it from next one. Spaces between rolling elements retain grease and act as lubrication system. Offering high-speed capabilities, CGL15N/CGL20N is compliant with ISO 14644-1 Class 4 at 2,000 mm/s.

THK Introduces Actuator CGL15N/CGL20N For Clean Room Environments
Schaumburg, IL - (July 14, 2008) Ideal for clean room environments, the new CGL15N/CGL20N Actuator from THK America, Inc. boasts a clean, corrosion resistant and long-term maintenance-free design.
For low particle generation, the CGL15N/CGL20N features a seal mechanism and a full size cover. AFE-CA grease (designed for clean rooms) is also used to reduce dust. The CGL15N/CGL20N's Ball Screw and LM Guide come THK AP-C treated for high corrosion resistance. The incorporation of THK Caged Technology results in long-term maintenance-free performance.
THK Caged Technology employs a synthetic resin cage with a patented curvature that cradles each ball and separates it from the next one. The spaces between the rolling elements retain grease and act as a lubrication system.
The CGL15N/CGL20N not only provides low dust generation, but also high-speed capabilities. It is compliant with ISO 14644-1 Class 4 (equivalent to FED209D Class 10) at 2,000 [mm/s].
