THK Introduces Low Cost, High Thrust Rod Actuator Type CRES



Schaumburg, IL - (August 18, 2005) THK's new Type CRES High Thrust Rod Actuator is compact, low cost and versatile. The Type CRES's high thrust produces maximum operating efficiency, while a low voltage DC motor (DC12V±15%) contributes to reduced energy consumption.

The Type CRES's noticeably sleek design, combined with a maximum stroke of 130mm, make it suitable for a variety of non-traditional applications. Possibilities include packaging machines, automatic seat positioners, panel operating mechanisms, positioning systems, height adjusters and opening/closing mechanisms. Nominal speed ranges are from 15 mm/sec to 55 mm/sec, with a nominal feeding force of 196N to 490N.

The Type CRES is dustproof, weatherproof, and waterproof. It is JIS IP55 rated. Type CRES Actuators are available in two standard models, the CRES200 and the CRES500.

The Type CRES Actuator is the latest innovation from THK, a world leader in linear motion technology and the originator of the LM Guide and patented Caged Technology. Other linear motion control products from their line include linear motion guides, actuators, ball screws, ball splines, link balls, cross roller rings, slides, positioning systems, and more.
