MINNETONKA, MN, December 14, 2010 (Press-News.org) The smooth and accurate motion of Exlar's linear actuators, combined with servo technology, make multiple axis robotic applications easier to implement and more efficient than other actuation solutions. Exlar electromechanical control system eliminates the need for fluid pumps and reduces oil leaks with quick installation and simple equipment maintenance--making it more robust than ball screw systems and considerably less expensive than a fluid based system.
With the force of hydraulics and the speed of pneumatics, Exlar's linear actuators offer an integrated, compact, high performance package. Additionally, the integrated design and elimination of fluid power makes the system virtually maintenance-free. The completely sealed package offers all of the flexibility of servo motion control, including accuracy and repeatability, highly responsive motion and simple set-up. It is factory tested and configured to operate with nearly any servo amplifier on the market. The combination of superior technology and expert design provides an ideal solution for robotic applications.
Exlar actuators remain competitive with the use of a high performance satellite planetary roller screw. Fully utilizing the physics of power and motion, roller screws are unmatched at converting rotary torque into linear motion. Unlike acme or ball screws, roller screws are capable of carrying heavy loads, allowing rotational speeds in excess of 5000 rpm for thousands of hours in the most arduous conditions--making roller screws the ideal choice for demanding, continuous duty environments.
Exlar's linear actuators deliver fast responses to command signal changes and provide high accuracy and repeatable control. The actuators can withstand over a million of inches of travel and are compatible with nearly any servo amplifier on the market.
Exlar Corporation designs, manufactures and sells linear and rotary motion products worldwide. For general product information, contact Exlar Corporation, 1470 Lake Drive West, Chanhassen, MN 55317. Phone: 952-368-3434. Fax: 952-368-4359. Website: www.exlar.com.
