The integrated-motor actuator (IMA) combines a servo motor with the vendor’s proven, rod-style actuator to provide a compact package.
Compared to traditional rod-style actuators, the IMA’s integrated
design provides higher dynamic performance by eliminating the need for
separate motors, couplers, motor mounts, gearing and belts, says the
vendor. The result is reduced component costs, assembly time and
failure points.The IMA provides high force (up to 2000lbf) along with
high speed (23 in./sec.) and positional accuracy (+/-0.00984-in. or
+/-0.25mm). The IMA can be ordered in any incremental stroke length
from 6 to 18 inches. Tolomatic Inc.www.tolomatic.com800.328.2174
