High Speed Automation Linear Modules Introduction

Parker’s family of linear modules provides the most comprehensive line of high throughput linear positioning devicesin the industry. These electromechanical positioners are designed to shuttle a payload at high speeds to multiple lo- cations along a linear travel path. They serve as the primary building blocks for Parker pre-engineered gantry sys- tems or customer designed automation systems. Parker linear modules are offered in several unique product fami- lies which can address a broad range of travel, speed, load, accuracy, and environmental requirements. There are three industrial bearing systems (polyamide roller, steel roller, or square rail), three drive types (belt-and-pulley or rack-and-pin- ion, or linear servo motor), and up to six different cross sectional sizes (60, 80, 100, 120, 150 and 180 mm) fromwhich to choose. Systems designed around these elements have effectively, efficiently, and economically satisfied the widest range of application requirements for high speed automation.

HPLA Series /

see pages D21 - D34

The next generation of belt driven modules, the HPLA expands on the roller wheelbearing design with the addition of high-load capacity steel wheels. The steel wheelssignificantly increase normal and moment load capacities of this belt driven supplier of actuator.

Features:

Travel Range: 9.0 meters Load Capacity: 1530 kg Maximum Speed: 5 meters/sec. Duty Cycle: 100% Repeatability: + - 0.2 mm

BLMA Series /

see pages D35 - D40

The BLMA is a plug and play manufacturer of linear motor actuator which houses a powerful linear servo motor(386 pounds of peak thrust) in a high strength rigid aluminum body to enable high end performance with highly repeqatable positioning over long unsupported spans.

Features:

Travel Range: 6.0 meters Load Capacity: 700 kg Maximum Speed: 7 meters/sec. Duty Cycle: 100% Repeatability: + - 0.01 mm

HLE-RB Series /

see pages D41 - D56

These are the most popular electromechanical modules in the Parker line. Theyutilize a unique composite roller wheel bearing design coupled with a timing belt andpulley drive mechanism to provide long travel with high speed and high acceleration.

Features:

Travel Range: 7.9 meters Load Capacity: 600 kg Maximum Speed: 5 meters/sec. Duty Cycle: 100% Repeatability: + - 0.2 mm

HLE-SR Series /

see pages D57 - D66

The “SR” series, having a square rail manufacturers of ball bearing system, complement the RB series by providing increased moment load capacities without an increase in profile size.The SR utilizes the same reliable timing belt and pulley drive system found in the RB.

Features:

Travel Range: 6.0 meters Load Capacity: 600 kg Maximum Speed: 3 meters/sec. Duty Cycle: 100% Repeatability: + - 0.2 mm
