LINEAR AND ROTARY ACTUATORS

ORIENTAL MOTOR offers a wide range of linear and rotary actuators to meet the need of various applications.  These actuators combine ORIENTAL MOTOR’s step motor products with linear and rotary components to create all-in-one solutions that save you time and money usually necessary to develop such systems.  In addition, these actuators provide more compact design and allow for downsizing of your application.


NEW! EZS II SERIES MOTORIZED LINEAR SLIDES

The new EZS II Series motorized linear slides combine an  stepping motor, feedback system, ball screw and linear guide in an all-in-one compact body.  Utilizing the  system enables high response and the ability to eliminate missteps.  The performance of the  allows the EZS II to provide quick positioning operation.
 
Available Stroke Lengths
(desired stroke length can be selected in 50mm increments over the following ranges)
  • EZS3, EZS4: 50 ~ 700mm
  • EZS6: 50 ~ 850mm

New EZS II Series Motorized Linear Slides
Large Transportable Mass
 
The EZS II Series can perform positioning at high speeds, supporting large transportable mass. Since the space outside the linear slide's operating range is minimized, the overall system size can be reduced.
  • Maximum Transportable Mass: Horizontal 60 kg, Vertical 30 kg - EZS6 (Lead 6 mm)
  • Maximum Speed: 800 mm/s - EZS3, EZS4, EZS6 (Lead 12 mm, single-phase 100-115 VAC/200-230 VAC input)

Space Saving

 

The total length of linear slide is shorter for every stroke or model, which enables space-saving design of your equipment.

 

Maintenance-Free for Long-Term Performance

 
The ball screw employs the THK QZ™ lubrication system, while the THK LM Guide® uses the Ball Retainer® to retain the coupled rolling elements.

The ball screw and THK LM Guide® use AFF grease with reduced dust-raising property, which is designed for use in clean rooms.

A simple roller mechanism is adopted to prevent the stainless sheet from wearing quickly. The roller structure suppresses dust generation caused by relative sliding of the stainless sheet and the table.
 

Sensorless High-Speed Return to Home Operation at Speeds up to 100 mm/s

 

We have developed a dedicated stop buffer to achieve the sensorless return to home operation at a maximum speed of 100 mm/s.  Once the motor detects table contact with the stop buffer, it will perform the return to home operation at 6 mm/s.

 


DG SERIES HOLLOW ROTARY ACTUATOR

The DG Series is a rotary actuator featuring a hollow output table that allows large-inertia discs and arms to be installed directly. The range of applications has widened with the addition of models with a frame size of 200 mm (7.87 in.) and permissible torque of 50 Nm (440 lb-in).

 

Available Frames Sizes

  • 2.36 in (60mm)
  • 3.35 in (85mm)
  • 5.12 in (130mm)
  • 7.87 in (200mm) - New!
High Output, High Rigidity
 

The hollow output table is integrated with a high rigidity cross-roller bearing*.  This structure improves permissible thrust load and moment load while maintaining high torque.

*Except for DG60

 

High Accuracy Positioning Without Backlash

  • Repetitive positioning accuracy: ±15 sec
  • Lost Motion: 2 min

Large-Diameter, Hollow Output Table

 

A hollow hole (through hole) of sufficiently large diameter helps reduce the complexity of wiring and piping, thus further simplifying your equipment design.

Permissible Torque
 
 
The hollow rotary actuators with larger permissible torque deliver stable, high speed positioning of larger inertial loads. Select the model that best suits your application.
 
Rigidity
 
The output table uses deep-groove ball bearings (two pieces) for the 60 mm (2.36 in.) frame size type, and a cross-roller bearing for the 85 mm (3.35 in.), 130 mm (5.12 in.) and 200 mm (7.87 in.) frame size types. As the frame size increases, the permissible moment load also increases but the displacement caused by the moment load decreases.
 

DRL SERIES COMPACT LINEAR ACTUATORS

The DRL Series allows for size reduction while improving the accuracy of your equipment.  The drive mechanism adopts a 5-phase stepping motor with ball screw. The DRL Series achieves high positioning accuracy in a space-saving design.  The extensive lineup includes a high-resolution motor and longer stroke.

 

The actuator size was reduced by using Oriental Motor's original technology. The compact and lightweight body houses the rotating components as well as the linear motion mechanism of the stepping motor. The DRL Series helps to achieve a significant reduction in the size of your equipment and system. To meet the user's requirements for higher positioning accuracy, all models can be ordered with a ground ball screw model [repetitive positioning accuracy: ±0.005 mm (±0.0002 in.)].
Significantly Fewer Parts and Required Man-Hours
 
The compact body houses the entire linear-motion mechanism, with some of the conventional parts eliminated for a more streamlined structure. This substantially reduces the man-hours required for design and assembly of your equipment, so you will enjoy higher production efficiency.
 
Also Available:
 
Electromagnetic Brake
The load position can be held when the power is cut off. Since the work will not fall in case of power failure or disconnection, you can safely use equipment in which the work moves vertically.
 
Adjusting Knob
The load position can be adjusted manually when the power is cut off. This function is useful during servicing of the equipment.

MOTION CONTROL QUESTIONS?  ASK AN ORIENTAL MOTOR ENGINEER

Oriental Motor's Engineering Team is just a click away.  Send your motion control questions to Oriental Motor's engineers and we'll publish their response in an upcoming issue of New Motion.

Q:  I have an application repeating several motions for manufacturing process.  I need to process the next motion as quick as possible to increase the production rate and as simple as possible for less wiring.  How can I approach to these?
 
A: Using the Sequential Positioning Mode and the END output signal may achieve these requirements.

Enter the series of motion data in the order of your manufacturing process from DATA1.

Leave M0-M5 OFF to select the Sequential mode, Use the START signal to execute the motion data. Wait for the END output signal, then repeat START signal for next motion in the order.  

The END output signal means the system is ready for the next motion, which is output when the current motion is completed.  You can send START input 1 msec after receiving END.
 

 
Q: Does the EZ II controller recognize the linear position after the power is down either on purpose or accidentally?  This would minimize the down time since I can re-start the operation immediately without run a homing cycle.
 
A: Using the battery pack (optional part) may help this situation.  It can provide power to the controller to hold the data in EEPROM memory for 96 hours when the main power is down.
 

Each issue, our Engineering Team will answer our reader's motion control questions.  From how to use a stepping motor to proper motor sizing techniques and specific applications, ask an OM engineer and get your answer directly from the source.  Our engineers are dedicated to continuous research and development in motion control technology.  E-mail your motion control question to newsletter(Please be sure to include your e-mail address and contact information so our Engineering Team can follow up on your question.)
