Ideal for fast, long travel applications with high accuracy requirements, the new R-Plus rack-and-pinion actuator by Rollon delivers consistent rigidity and high axial forces throughout its stroke.
The device is attached to a 6.3- or 7.9-inch (160- or 200-millimeter) wide aluminum alloy beam with single piece long lengths that handle large loads with minimal deflection. It supports multiple carriages and associated pinions on the same axis, with each carriage capable of independent motion. The actuator is also effective in vertical applications and comes pre-installed with a precision speed reducer for mounting to any motor.
Features include self-sustaining aluminum extrusion profiles that house profile rails with recirculating ball bearings for large and balanced load capacity. The units are operated by hardened, tempered and ground steel rack and pinion helical teeth gears, while a built-in lubrication kit allows the pinion to be easily greased for smooth operation and long life.
