Rapidtrak * Rodless AcuatorsThomson Rapidtrak * Rodless ActuatorsThe Rapidtrak ® linear actuator is the newest addition to the DanaherMotion Linear Products line. This new actuator complements the Electrak ®line of actuators by providing stroke lengths of 2 feet to 22 feet, speedsto more than 16 feet per second and carry loads up to 1650 lbs.These actuators are modular and can accept any NEMA 56-C face motoror gearbox. Provisions are also available for adding feedback encodersand custom mounting servo or step motors. Actuators may also easily bemechanically synchronized for load sharing or simultaneous motion.The Rapidtrak linear actuator provides guided linear motion using eithera ball screw or belt drive and a saddle that rides along the top of theactuator to carry the load. The housing protects the ball screw or beltfrom contamination and reduces maintenance requirements. Theseactuators are ideal for industrial or material handling applicationsbecause of the high speed and long stroke length capabilities. Thereare numerous advantages to the Rapidtrak design:Phone: 1-<strong>80</strong>0-554-8466Website: www.linearactuators.com• Speed – speeds of over 16 feet per second are achievable dependingon the load, prime mover, and gearbox. These higher speeds greatlyincrease the application versatility of the actuator.• Stroke length – stroke lengths are available up to 22 feet.Optional limit switch packages allow the length to be set within thephysical limits of the actuator.• Load support – loads up to 1650 lbs. can ride directly on the carriage.This eliminates the need for ways or bearings in many cases and providesa complete, compact package.• Modular – the actuator uses a mounting flange for the motor whichpermits the interchange of NEMA C-faced motors, gearboxes, clutches,and brakes. This allows the unit to be customized to specificapplication requirements.• Shorter overall length – the extended and retracted lengths arethe same. This permits a smaller envelope for the actuator and allowsit to be applied in more size restricted applications.Applications include material handling and press line automation.Ball screw actuator with prism supportTG xx KBelt drive actuator with prism supportTG xx BBall screw drive actuator with ball guide supportTF xx KBelt drive actuator with ball guide supportTF xx BC-8©2003 Danaher Motion.

Phone: 1-<strong>80</strong>0-554-8466Website: www.linearactuators.comHow to SelectRapidtrak is a self-supporting, modular linear motion device that can beused horizontally, vertically or upside down. It is capable of strokes up to22 feet and speeds over 16 feet per second. The new M family ofproducts is available in three different profile sizes with your choice ofball guide or prism guide for support and either belt drive or ball screwdrive for positioning the load. Ball guides provide low friction and lowstick-slip for applications requiring precise positioning and allow smallermotors to drive the load. Prism guides have high shock and vibrationtolerance and are relatively unaffected by environmental contaminants.Ball screw drives are used for high precision, high loads, high efficiency orvertical applications. Belt drives are used for high speeds (over 16 feetper second) and are not affected by critical speed as is a ball screw.The following guide will help you select the correct Rapidtrak for yourapplication. Worksheets are included on pages C-6 and C-7 for your use.The measurements required for sizing a Rapidtrak are shown on theworksheet.Step 1. Load and MountingHorizontalThe maximum customer load (Fz) is determined by the profile selected, thesaddle configuration (A or C), support type (ball guide or prism) and thenumber and spacing of the supports or mounting feet (Lf), not by theoverall length of the unit. The deflection of the Rapidtrak mustnot exceed0.08"/10'. The curves in Fig. D (page C-14) show the relationship betweenthe spacing of the supports and the load capability of the profiles.Additional mounting feet may be required to adequately support the load.VerticalIf the Rapidtrak is in a vertical application or is just pushing a load,then the maximum load is Fx and is shown in Table A.Table AFx Max My Max Mx MaxModel Description (lbf) (lbf-in) (lbf-in)TP05 M50 belt drive-prism guide 88 168 44TG55K M55 prism guide - ball screw drive 220 203 79TG55B M55 prism guide - belt drive 88 203 79TF55B M55 ball guide - ball screw drive 220 424 44TG75K M55 ball guide - belt drive 88 185 56TG75B M75 prism guide - ball screw drive 550 708 398TF75K M75 prism guide - belt drive 198 708 398TF75B M75 ball guide - ball screw drive 550 1150 159TG100K M75 ball guide - belt drive 198 708 132TG100B M100 prism guide - ball screw drive 1100 2433 1062TF100K M100 prism guide - belt drive 275 2389 885TF100B M100 ball guide - ball screw drive 110 3540 477TF100B M100 ball guide - belt drive 275 2478 442Acceleration Formulas and Force DefinitionFxFz= the axial load or thrust of the Rapidtrak= the load that is supported by the Rapidtrak profile.

Eccentric LoadsHorizontalThe eccentric loads must be calculated to determine the maximumresultant forces acting on the system that will deflect or bind theRapidtrak. The formulas for calculating the eccentric loads are below andcan be used in conjunction with the Eccentric Load Chart – Table A todetermine if the results fall within the acceptable ranges.If the load is carried by the saddle, F z = direct load and is the same valueas in Step 1.Hy = distance the load is from the centerline of the saddle in feetEccentric load calculation MxMx = Fz x Hy _________lbf-ftIf the value for Mx exceeds the capability of all of the profiles, an externalsupport such as a liner bearing and shafting or non-driven Rapidtrak maybe used to help support the load. The maximum distance between adriven and non-driven Rapidtrak should not be more than 15 inches.VerticalIf the load is supported by external bearings, is just pushing the load or isin a vertical application, then the eccentric loads act along the axis of theRapidtrak and you must calculate the value for eccentric load My.Fz = axial load and is the same value as in Step 1Ha = distance of the load from the top of the saddleMy = Ha x Fa ________lbf-ftFyLfF yM taM a*©2003 Danaher Motion.

Other Design ConsiderationsLimit SwitchesEnd of stroke limit switches are mandatory for all Rapidtrak actuators.The limit switches prevent the saddle from striking the end of the of thehousing which can result in extensive damage to the unit. The strokelength of each actuator has two inches of overtravel included in eachdirection to allow the actuator to coast to a stop after the limit switchesare tripped. A two foot stroke actuator actually has 2'4" of stroke toallow for the overtravel. Brackets are included for mounting standardelectro-mechanical limit switches to the profile. Limit switches arecustomer provided or may be ordered along with the Rapidtrak.Part numbers for the limit switches are included in the options section.Load Holding BrakeDue to the high efficiency of the ball screw drive a load holding brake isrequired in vertical applications to prevent the load from backdriving thescrew. This can be added to the motor or installed between the motor andthe Rapidtrak unit.Step Motor DriveStep motors should not be used in applications in which the load canbackdrive the Rapidtrak. If the motor stalls, the torque falls to zero andthe load may backdrive.Step 8.

Phone: 1-<strong>80</strong>0-554-8466Website: www.linearactuators.comTechnical Considerations1. Question Are there any mounting restrictions on theRapidtrak * actuators?Answer Ball screw driven units can be mounted inany plane—vertically horizontally, sideways or upsidedown. The ball screw has a load lock built in as a safetydevice to prevent it from falling down the screw in theevent that the ball bearings are lost from the nut. Thebelt drive units are not recommended in vertical applicationsas there is no protection from the load falling if thebelt breaks. Vertical and other applications that can bebackdriven by the load should use a spring set brake toprevent movement of the load with the power off.2. Question Can two or more Rapidtrak units besynchronized?Answer The units can easily be mechanicallysynchronized but the performance depends upon thestiffness of the system. Variations in the lead of thescrews or the tension of the belt and the diameter of thepulleys can cause the system to bind if the system is toostiff. If there is some compliance in the system to allowfor the variations in the components then synchronizingthe units is easy. Belt drive units can be mechanicallylinked from the non-driven side of the input shaft toanother belt drive unit. Ball screw units require onegearbox with a double input shaft to allow mechanicallylinking them.3. Question How do I mechanically synchronize theunits?Answer This can be accomplished with belts orshafts. When using belts be sure not to exceed 225 Ibs. oftension on the shaft of the Rapidtrak. When using shaftsbe sure to calculate the critical speed of the connectingshaft and not exceed it.4. Question What kind of drives can I use for Rapidtrakunits?Answer You can use AC, DC, servo, step, pneumaticor hydraulic motors to drive the actuators. DanaherMotion can also provide AC, DC, servo or stepper drivesystems as components or as a fully engineered andtested system. Contact you local Danaher Motion salesrepresentative for more details.5. Question When do I need a non-driven unit?Answer There are several applications that mayrequire a non-driven unit with a driven one. 1) When theload is higher than the profile can support but does notexceed the thrust load of the ball screw drive.The maximum load of the M75 profile is 440 Ibs.The maximum thrust of the ball screws for the unit is 550Ibs. Adding a second non-driven unit will allow a higherload to be supported without exceeding the drivecapability of the screw.Driven UnitNon-driven Unit2) When the eccentric loads exceed the capacity of asingle profile. The twisting force Mx created by the loadbeing located off the center line of the Rapidtrak may betoo high for the profile to accept. Adding a parallel nondrivenunit will significantly reduce the eccentric forces.Long ProfileShort ProfileIf you have an application like this contact an applicationengineer at <strong>80</strong>0-566-5274 for further assistance.Note: If the distance between the driven and non-drivenunits exceeds 1.25 feet, both units must be driven.6. Question How can a long Rapidtrak unit have thesame load rating as a short unit? Won’t the longer onehave more of a tendency to bend?Answer The load capacity is a function of the distancebetween supports, not the length of the profile. Along profile and a short profile have the same load ratingas long as they have the same distance between theirsupports.7. Question Where do I place the mounting feet?Answer The mounting feet are normally placed underthe ends of the stroke length. If more supports arerequired due to the load, they should be equally spacedbetween the outside mounting feet. Use the Fig. D onpage C-14 to determine the maximum spacing allowablebetween the mounting feet based on the load.8. Question Is it possible for a load to backdrive aRapidtrak actuator?Answer Yes it is possible. That is why we recommendusing either a motor-brake or a spring set brake to holdthe load in power off conditions.9. Question Why do I need limit switches for end ofstroke protection?Answer Limit switches are mandatory for operatingthis actuator. There is no slip clutch or overload deviceincluded in the actuator. Driving the carriage and sleighinto the end of the actuator can cause the belt to breakon belt drive units or break the end casting on ball screwunits. The limit switches must be mounted at least 2 inchesfrom the end of stroke position to allow the load tostop before striking the end casting. This 2 inches oneach end will not affect the stroke length as it has beenincluded in the total travel length. Vertical applicationsshould use 1 inch at the top and 3 inches or more at thebottom. In some applications with high inertia and highspeeds more than 2 inches may be required to stop theload and this will affect the stroke length. Contact anapplication engineer at 1-<strong>80</strong>0-554-8466 if this affectsyour application.10. Question If I mount the Rapidtrak along a beam thatprovides continuous support along the length of theprofile can I exceed the load ratings in the charts?Answer Unless the beam is machined to a flatsurface it is better to raise the profile off of the beamusing mounting brackets, and shims. This will reducethe chance of deflecting the profile by mounting it to anuneven surface. In any event the load ratings in thecharts should not be exceeded.11. Question Do I need to lubricate these units?Answer The sliding bearings (TG) are made ofRobalon and are essentially maintenance free. Long termlubrication is provided by fitting a felt pad saturated withsynthetic oil between the bearing surfaces to reducefriction, increase efficiency and lengthen the life of theunit. These felt pads can be re-saturated by removing thesaddle. On ball guided units (TF), the linear bearingrequires periodic lubrication. Our service manual specifiesMobil 28 for the lubricant. There are holes in the sides ofthe extrusion that allow access to the grease fittings onthe linear bearing. These holes have plugs to keepcontaminants from entering the extrusion. Lubricationfrequency depends on the amount of travel for yourapplication. The drive screw should be periodicallylubricated with either a lithium based or molybdenumdisulphide grease. Intervals between lubrication dependson the application and operating conditions. High speedoperation should require frequent attention as thelubricant may be thrown from the screw.12. Question What does a screw support do?Answer The screw support reduces the unsupportedlength of the screw in applications using long strokes.This allows higher rotational speeds than wouldnormally be possible and therefore faster linearspeeds of the sleigh.*©2003 Danaher Motion.

Limit switches are mandatory for end of strokeprotection for this actuator. They must be placed at least2" from the end of stroke to allow the actuator to stopbefore striking the end cover of the profile. (Fig. E)PitchThe measurable distance between screw grooves orthreads. (Fig. D)(Fig. A)Axial Lash (Backlash)Linear BallguideBackdrivingThe load causing the ball screw or belt drive to reversedirection with no power applied.Ball bearing screwA screw that runs on ball bearings, has about 90%efficiency and low starting torque and can be backdriven.CarriageThe internal connection between the ball nut or belt andthe outside load. The carriage either contains theRobalon bearings which ride on the four bearing surfacesof the profile or is connected to a linear ball guide. Thesaddle is the external connection to the carriage. (Fig. B)Cover stripA flexible special stainless steel strip magnetically held inplace to cover the carriage track. The strip rides throughthe saddle to continuously protect the ball screw or beltdrive from contaminants. (Fig. E)Critical speedRotational speed of ball nut or ball screw shaft thatproduces resonant vibrations of the ball screw.DeflectionDeformation of the cross section of the profile. This canbe caused by high eccentric loads, supports not spacedclose enough together for the load, or rigidly mountingthe profile to an uneven surface. This can result in bindingof the carriage, uneven performance and reduced life ofall components.Drive torqueThe amount of effort, measured in pound-feet, requiredto turn the ball screw or belt drive and move the load.Duty cycleThe amount of “on time” vs. “cooling time.” This isgenerally a function of how much heat the motor cantolerate during starting, stopping, and reversing.ForcesFa = the axial load or thrust of the RapidtrakFy = the load that is supported by the Rapidtrak *profile. The amount of load that the Rapidtrakwill support is determined by the size of theprofile and the distance between the mountingfeet.Facc =the force on the Rapidtrak caused by acceleratingor decelerating the load.

The best solutiondemands a thorough evaluation of the application, only then can design criteria beestablished. Issues such as envelope limitations, system load capacity, actuator loadcapacity, speed and acceleration, drive requirements, accuracy and repeatability, and operatingenvironment are looked at from a broad perspective to determine the type of system,type of actuator, and whether the system need be built of special materials.Typically, a belt driven linear motion system is ideal for moderate precision, high load, andhigh-speed applications. When compared to a Ball Screw Actuated Linear Motion System,the Belt Actuated System can attain higher linear speeds in longer stroke applications. Adegree of positioning accuracy, however, is sacrificed, as the belt is not capable of meetingthe accuracy of that of the ball screw. The Turbo Module is designed to act as its own supportstructure by virtue of its robust base support member and is thereby suited for applicationsthat require gantry or overhung loads. Since the Turbo Module belt drive is actuatedthrough a True Planetary* gearhead, the torque, speed, and system inertia can be matchedby varying the gear ratio. In environments that are corrosive or high temperature specialmaterials may be required and are available. Contact Application Engineering for details onspecial materials.• High speed and acceleration with positioningaccuracy better than +/- 0,15 mm.• Integrated AccuGlide* ProfileRail* Systemsproviding high rigidity combined with dynamic loadcapacities up to 56 kN and moment capacities up to7900 Nm.• A single point integrated lubrication system thatmaximizes reliability and reduces down time.• Standard integrated True Planetary* gearhead forspeed reduction and torque multiplication. Gearheadmotor mounting flanges are stocked, awaiting yourmotor specifications.• A single part number system. All that is required toorder is to specify the system size and length.• Easy adaptation to industry standard servo motorsystems. Refer to the Motion Control Section onpage A-153.In order to determine the Turbo Module Belt Actuated SuperSlide* System that meets theneeds of your application, it is first necessary to evaluate the following detail design criteria:• System support requirements• System stroke length• Maximum allowable shaft deflection• Required travel life• Force on the most heavily loaded bearing• Load correction factor• Load/Life requirements-linear bearings• Motion (move) profile (velocity, acceleration)• Maximum belt tooth shear strength• Gear motor rotational speed (gear reduction)• Torque considerations• Size motor using torque/speed curves*©2003 Danaher Motion.
