Heason Expands Linear Actuator Range with New Thomson T60 Range
Date: 01 July 2010
Heason Technology has added the new Thomson T60 precision ballscrew linear actuator to its wide range of positioning solutions.
The T60 is a very compact and powerful
push-rod style actuator with a 75 mm x 60 mm profile housing and a
38 mm diameter hard chromed steel extension tube for selectable
travel up to1500mm, direct force to 1000N, speeds to 300 mm/sec and
acceleration to 8 m/sec2.
The simple yet effective design provides long life/low maintenance
linear positioning with precision, control and efficiency that will
outperform pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder actuators in a very
similar format.
The IP65 rated unit is designed for harsh environments and can be
supplied with additional protection where frequent washdown may be
required. The T60 is based upon the same successful design as the
larger T90 and T130 Precision Linear Actuator (PLA) models from
Thomson which together suit a very wide range of industrial
applications from pick and place systems to packaging automation
and from pharmaceutical manufacture to electronics
production.
The T60 is available with a choice of 25 mm diameter precision
ballscrews with leads of 5 mm, 10 mm, 25 mm or 50 mm offering a
0.05 mm repeatability with a preloaded single nut arrangement for
low backlash. The maximum input speed of 3000 rpm allows complete
choice of motor technologies from simple speed controlled DC
motors, stepper motors or full positioning servo's. A wide range of
accessories allow inline mounting with couplings, or side mount
options complete with belt drive arrangements. Mounting accessories
are also available for standard hydraulic cylinder
replacement.
Heason Technology has attained Premier Partner status for Thomson
and can supply fully customised versions of the PLA range together
with motors, drives and motion controls as complete system
solutions.
The Premier Partner programme aims to ensure a high level of
service and support with regular training, competitive pricing and
recommended inventory levels for all participating distribution
partners. Heason Technology's in-house design capability matches
products from its distribution partners with its own expertise in
motion control and automation to provide customised
electro-mechanical solutions for challenging applications across,
aerospace, automotive, defence, robotics, process control,
packaging, motorsports and many more.
