WITTENSTEIN linear actuators for high throughput

WITTENSTEIN cyber motor has launched a new series of linear actuators designed with an integrated ball screw for use in highly dynamic positioning axes. Ideal for machines operating in confined spaces and requiring high precision, these servo motors feature a precision ball screw fully integrated in the actuator housing. The unique design encloses the servo motor, ball screw, linear guides and encoder system, to form a highly integrated and ready-to-install unit.

This integrated design makes these motors ideal for positioning, joining, bending, gripping and dispensing applications for semiconductor, packaging, and assembly automation industries. The 100% stainless steel design with IP65 protection is designed for food and beverage applications, such as highly precise bottling lines.

Each of the four sizes (outside diameter 17 mm, 22 mm, 32 mm or 40 mm) achieves excellent acceleration values, which can be two to four times greater than current industry benchmarks. This results in increased cycle rates and machine throughputs in a very small space by as much as 400 percent.

The innovative design can achieve positioning accuracy up to 0.05 mm, and repeatability up to 0.01 mm. In addition, the permanent lubrication makes the units maintenance-free.
