Introducing ServoTube A BREAKTHROUGH IN ServoTube delivers the speed and ruggedness of pneumatics, the controllability of a ballscrew and the reliability of a linear motor at a price unprecedented in the industry. osition control is essential to meet the ever increasing demand for flexible Pmanufacturing. Closed-loop pneumatics are hard to control and have high audible noise. Ballscrews are speed limited and subject to wear. Belt drives are complex and need adjustment. The traditional linear motor is difficult to install and requires an expensive and fragile linear encoder. Actuator Built-in position sensor Integral long-life bearing DIN/ISO 6431 mounting ServoTube is a breakthrough in linear motion. The patented magnetic design delivers 12 micron repeatability and 250 micron accuracy from a non-contact, integral sensor. Position Control Solution The inherent ruggedness of the tubular motor and the availability of industry standard mounting accessories makes installation a snap. System integration is simple with Xenus - a matched, self-tuning servo-amplifier complete with plug-and-play cabling. Xenus interfaces easily to PLCs and also features CANopen network connectivity.

LINEAR MOTION AUTOMATION FLEXIBILITY ServoTube is available as a linear actuator and as OEM motor components. Actuator Moving Thrust Rod implementation for push/pull/lift <strong>application</strong>s. Mounting is compatible with pneumatic actuators and industry standard accessories. Internal bearing delivers maintenancefree, long-life performance. Motor Components Moving Forcer implementation for pick-and-place gantries. The load is mounted directly to the Forcer supported by a single bearing rail. The Thrust Rod is mounted at both ends, similar to a ballscrew. A large air gap reduces alignment constraints. SERVOTUBE ELEMENTS ServoTube Thrust Rod OEM Components Easy mechanical integration No encoder required Mount load directly to forcer Sealed stainless steel tube encloses rare-earth magnets. Patented configuration ensures high density, uniform magnetic field. OPTIMAL SOLUTION ServoTube performance surpasses traditional technologies as illustrated in the table below: Parameter Speed Acceleration Installation Reliability Controllability Ruggedness Audible Noise ServoTube High High Simple High Excellent Excellent Low Pneumatics High High Complex Moderate Poor Excellent High Belt Drive High High Moderate Moderate Good Moderate Low Ballscrew Low Low Moderate Moderate Excellent Moderate Moderate ServoTube Forcer Rugged, IP67 rated enclosure houses the motor coils and position sensing electronics.
