Linear actuators - Import export

Increasing Trend: Production in the Cleanroom IAI actuators in cleanroom design are frequently used in the electronics and semiconductor industry, photovoltaic production and medical technology. Due to constantly growing requirements and new legal regulations, they are also increasingly used in other production areas where dust or dirt particles are to be avoided. Stainless steel dust protection band All IAI cleanroom products are classified in ISO cleanroom classes for the maximum permissible particle concentration per m³ of air. With a stainless steel dust protection band, the actuators are sealed and ISO cleanroom compliance is achieved by drawing the air inside the enclosure. Furthermore, the sealed construction also allows the unit to be used, for example, in vertical and horizontal directions (in lateral position), i.e. in the mounting forms that were previously only possible to a limited extent.

RoboCylinder & IntelligentActuator Slider Types Slider type actuators are mainly used for transporting and positioning workpieces horizontally or vertically. To meet the requirements in terms of payload, speed, spindle pitch, precision and much more, IAI offers many choices in both the RoboCylinder and IngelligenActuator series. These include extra-wide slide axes whose base frames have increased bending strength. Many linear actuators are available in two design variants: As a directly driven slider type with motor in extension of the cylinder's longitudinal axis and as a shorter version with angled motor if the available working space is limited.

Electric linear actuators from IAI are available as rod, slider and slide table types as well as with toothed belt drive. They are equipped with a stepper motor or servo motor and often already have a battery-free absolute encoder as standard. On request, they can also be supplied without an electric drive unit. The product range of linear actuators consists of the RoboCylinder series, which are characterised by high user-friendliness, simple programming as well as compact design. Their focus is on covering common customer requirements and are therefore relatively inexpensive. Electric slider type actuators and axes with toothed belt drive from the IntelligentActuators product line complete the product portfolio. They meet higher requirements than RoboCylinders in terms of payload, speed, acceleration and precision.

Simply usable without encapsulation In addition to the standard version, many actuators are also available as water-proof, splash-proof or dust-proof models. While pneumatic actuators are only safe enough after extensive encapsulation, IAI's IP-protected actuators can be used without any further construction measures. There is no risk of leakage here. The uncomplicated installation without additional units and the small space requirement significantly reduce the costs and time required for commissioning.

Toothed belt linear actuators from IAI are particularly suitable for high speeds, rapid accelerations and strokes between 200 mm and 3,200 mm. All actuators have a compact frame geometry and optimised cross section for maximum rigidity and load bearing capacity, making them resistant to twisting and deformation. IAI linear actuators with toothed belt drive are ideal for fast handling and positioning tasks in which high repeat accuracy with short cycle times are vital. The double slider option of the IF and the new IFA series gives the possibility to vary the distance between the two sliders. This increases the overhang load capability and allows a wide variety of configurations. Advantages at a glance ▸ High speed and acceleration ▸ High bending stiffness ▸ Long strokes ▸ Low maintenance ▸ Low noise

The linear rod type actuators from the RoboCylinder series are available with 24V stepper motor, 24V servo motor or 230V servo motor. They are characterized by their compact design, mechanical stability and high positioning accuracy of up to ± 5 μm. The linear actuators are available in two design variants: As a directly driven rod type with motor in extension of the cylinder longitudinal axis and as a shorter variant with deflection, in which the motor and axis are parallel to each other. Both variants are also suitable as heavy-duty electric actuators for high payloads. In addition to the standard version, many linear actuators are also available as cleanroom versions and for special environmental conditions also as dustproof, splashproof or waterproof models with IP54 to IP67 protection.
