Two New Rotary Actuators from Techno-Sommer Automatic Feature 4-Position Step Rotors Plus Compact Sizes

New Hyde Park, NY -- Two new rotary actuators from Techno-Sommer Automatic feature the ability to rotate in 4 adjustable steps plus their compact sizes. Rotary actuators are commonly used in automation applications as ratchet drives for rotary tables, as rotators for a robot arms, for opening and closing valves, for tilting containers, for rotating components for insertion, etc. These step rotor units consists of an outer and inner vane. The outer vane and the stop of the inner vane are a single piece. The position of the inner vane therefore determines the position of the shaft. Four different positions may be achieved via four air inlets. The 0.521 kg smaller unit, model SH-5, features rotational angles of up to 390Â° at up to 240 cycles per minute. Operating pressure is from 3 to7 bar. The axial and radial load is 29 N and 59 N respectively. The operating torque is 1 Nm at 6 bar. The 1.137 kg larger unit, model SH-20, features rotational angles of up to 480Â° at up to 180 cycles per minute. Operating pressure is from 3 to 7 bar. The axial and radial load is 43 N and 85 N respectively. The operating torque is 3.4 Nm at 6 bar.
