Parker Releases Industrial Grade HD Series
Industrial positioner offers maintenance-free positioning and low cost in a small package
Irwin, PA, October 20, 2008 - Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division, a leading supplier of motion control technology, has further expanded its family of positioners with the new HD Industrial Grade product.
The new HD-N offers superior bending moment of inertia for high rigidity and minimal deflection; lubricated-for-life, maintenance-free bearings and ball screws for lower total cost of ownership; easy-to-select custom motor mounts for Parker and non-Parker motors (inline and parallel orientations); and highly configurable solutions with short lead times and standard part numbers.
The new HD-N series complements the Parker line of screw-driven linear positioners. Now the low-cost PROmech, XE Series and the HD Industrial Grade positioners round out the screw-driven, low-cost automation solutions, while the HD Standard grade, XR Standard grade and XR Precision grade complete the screw-driven, precision-grade portfolio. These series of screw-driven products pair nicely with the remainder of the Parker line of products, including belt drives, linear motors and manual drives
"This industrial-grade HD gives Parker a complete family of positioners," says Ben Furnish, linear products manager for Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division. "We can now offer everything from high-precision, 1-micron level repeatabilities with our XR and MX families to low-end precision, general automation solutions where the concern isn't about accuracy and repeatability, but is more about long life, robustness, total cost of ownership and ease of use."
