MODELS STA1104-1116 SERVOTUBE ACTUATOR
The ServoTube
Actuator is an optimal solution for industrial linear position or force
control. Servotube actuators provide speed and acceleration
capabilities far in excess of ballscrews, making them ideal for
high-cycle rate applications. Clean reliability and programmability
additionally makes Servotube an alternatives to air cylinders in
applications requiring greater flexibility and control.
The ServoTube
Actuator incorporates an IP67 rated forcer and a sealed stainless steel
thrust rod enclosing rare-earth magnets. Four models in the “Micro”
series deliver a continuous force range of 9~27 N (2~6 lb) with peak
forces up to 92 N (21 lb). 11 stroke lengths are available from 14~271
mm. (Larger Servotubes supply forces to 1860 N (418 lb). The patented
magnetic design of ServoTube generates 12 micron (0.47 mil)
repeatability and 350 micron (14 mil) accuracy from a non-contact,
integral position sensor. No external encoder is required. Position
output is industry standard 1V pk-pk sin/cos signals. An internal dry
bearing provides clean, quiet, maintenance-free performance. Life
expectancy far exceeds typical ballscrew solutions.
The ServoTube
Actuator is ideal for push/pull/lift, material handling, packaging,
bio-medical, and automated assembly applications. ServoTube accepts a
range of industry standard accessories for simple mechanical
integration. Flexible mid-stroke position control is simple with
Copley’s matched, self-tuning drives and indexer complete with
plug-and-play cabling. Simply select your ServoTube model number and the
system comes up tuned and ready to run. Clear diagnostics make system
commissioning easy. Fill in the blanks to define position, velocity and
acceleration. Drives interfaces easily to PLCs or motion controls and
features CANopen network connectivity, Indexing, Programmable Limit
Switch (PLS) Outputs , and CAM table functionality. Cost, (actuator
and drive), starts at $1250 (Qty 1).
