Linear actuato<br />

From the various systems to convert rotary motion<br />

to linear motion, <strong>SONCEBOZ</strong> has put its faith in the<br />

linear actuator. The company has invested heavily<br />

since the 1980’s in research and development to<br />

Linear actuator technology consists of a stepping motor in which<br />

the shaft is replaced by a screw. The centre part of the rotor is tapped<br />

to convert it to a “nut” adjusted to that screw. By preventing<br />

the screw turning (antirotation), it can move axially, to give the<br />

linear motion required.<br />

The increment, that is the linear progression corresponding to<br />

each step of the motor, is given by the screw pitch divided by the<br />

number of motor steps.<br />

This is selected to suit the actuator characteristics required. The<br />

longer the pitch, the quicker the advance but the lower the power<br />

of the device. Conversely, a fine pitch limits the speed but increases<br />

the power available.<br />

Every application<br />

has its requirements<br />

Fine adjustment of the actuator characteristics to the precise motion<br />

requirements is possible through the parameter mix ratio.<br />

Every application requires its own analysis based on the customer’s<br />

specifications. This is even more the case now that linear actuators are<br />

Extreme precision<br />

Automated dosage in laboratories is developing<br />

as the instruments achieve greater accuracy<br />

and efficiency. The optimized resolution of<br />

the 7214 actuator provides constant and<br />

precise movement, even at high<br />

speed.<br />

increase its technological know-how to provide the<br />

end user with suitable original solutions for any<br />

drive problem.<br />
