Original Press Release:
New Size 34 External Linear Actuator
HSI is proud to announce their newest product, a Size 34 hybrid external linear actuator. This rotating lead screw design uses a stainless steel acme lead screw, which is incorporated directly into the motor's rotor. Shaft to lead screw couplers are not needed with this design thus saving time, money and labor during application assembly. The external linear actuator replaces four different components - a motor, coupler, lead screw and nut.
The nut on the external linear actuator uses the same high performance engineering thermoplastics as the rotor drive nut of HSI's non-captive and captive designs. This feature ensures trouble free, exceptional long life operation for use in high precision applications. This external hybrid linear actuator is available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from 0.0005" (.0127 mm) per step to 0.005" (.127 mm) per step and delivers thrusts of up to 500 lbs. without compromising long life or cost. A standard external linear has 6" of visible lead screw, however lead screw length and termination, as well as external nut design, can be customized to fit your application requirements.
In this design, the lead screw is an integral part of the motor with a mating nut translating along the screw. As the motor steps, the lead screw rotates but does not advance. This is the best overall design approach for obtaining linear travel in confined spaces. The lead screw ends can be machined to allow the use of out-board bearing support for long lead screw lengths.
Applications requiring precise positioning and rapid motion are best suited for this motor. Typical applications include packaging equipment, industrial equipment, X-Y Tables, automation of any kind, valve control and many more. Competitively priced, this product is ideal for drop-in replacements to improve performance and life or for incorporation into your next project. In addition to standard configurations, HSI can custom design this motor to meet your specific application requirements.
