New from Reliance Precision Mechatronics, a range of ‘palm size’ actuators for the miniature mechatronics market offers four individually specified actuators, each with a combination of performance characteristics and a choice of stroke lengths. The range includes:
A general purpose actuator (RGPA) operates at up to 100mm/sec. Repeatability +/- 0.03mm
A precision high speed actuator (RRPA) Maximum speed 120mm/sec. Repeatability +/-0.01mm.
High stiffness and durability
An ultra-precision actuator (RSSA) for lower speed, high accuracy positioning applications. Maximum speed 20mm/sec. Repeatability +/- 0.005mm
A miniature, rod type actuator (RMRA) for automated microscopic feeding. Repeatability +/-0.005 to +/- 0.002
Typical applications for the linear actuators include robotics, precision dispensers, dose control and measuring equipment. The rod type actuators are available with two phase and five phase stepper motor specifications and are ideal for powering micrometer heads, precision dispensing and mirror movement.
