SKA COMPACT all in one linear axes.

Product catalog summary

Overview

The SKA COMPACT series represents a range of iron core linear axes designed for high flexibility and performance in industrial automation. These "all-in-one" linear axes integrate the linear motor, moving head, cable carrier, and feedback systems into a compact, sealed aluminum structure.

Main Features

  • Three sizes available with aluminum carrying structure.
  • Preassembled power components including moving coil, magnetic track, thermal sensor, linear guideways, encoder, stroke stopper, cables, and cable carrier.
  • Fully sealed mechanical components for high protection.
  • Optional safety brake available.
  • Payload capacity suitable for mounting on any extruded structure side and orientation.
  • Continuous force options: 275N and 550N; Peak force options: 825N and 1650N.
  • Maximum speed up to 5 m/s and acceleration up to 50 m/s² (5g).
  • Positioning accuracy between 0.01 mm and 0.1 mm.
  • Feedback options include optical and magnetic encoders, Hall sensors, Sin-Cos, TTL, and absolute encoders.

Models and Ordering

Two main models are offered:

  • SKA C 140.275: Continuous force 275N, peak force 825N.
  • SKA C 140.550: Continuous force 550N, peak force 1650N.

Stroke lengths range from 500 mm to 3000 mm in 500 mm increments. Ordering codes specify series, model, winding, stroke, encoder type, feedback, and connectors.

Encoder and Feedback Options

Multiple encoder types are available with detailed specifications:

  • TTL Magnetic Encoders: Resolutions 1-10 µm, max speed up to 2 m/s, rated voltage 5 Vdc ±2.5%, operating temperature 0-50°C.
  • TTL Optical Encoders: Various pitches (40 µm, 200 µm), resolutions 1-10 µm, max speeds up to 9-10 m/s, rated voltage 5 Vdc ±5%, operating temperature 0-50°C.
  • Sin-Cos Optical Encoders: Pitches 40 µm and 200 µm, accuracy ±5 to ±30 µm/m, max speed dependent on interpolator, rated voltage 5 Vdc ±5%, operating temperature 0-50°C.
  • Hall Sensors: Rated voltage 5-24 Vdc, operating temperature -20°C to +100°C, 3 commutation signals.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications

Detailed motor parameters for both models include:

  • Voltage constants (Ke) ranging from 55 to 116 Vrms/m/s.
  • Force constants (Kf) from 91 to 192 N/Arms.
  • Rated currents and peak currents specified per winding type.
  • Phase resistance and inductance values at 20°C.
  • Thermal protection with normally closed thermal cut-off rated at 250 Vac, 2.5 A, operative temperature 130°C ±5%, reset temperature 100°C ±15°C.
  • Insulation class F.
  • Moving head weights vary from 2 to 12 kg depending on model and configuration.

Cabling and Connectors

Power and feedback cables are specified for dynamic applications with details on construction, electrical characteristics, and compliance:

  • Power Cable: 4G1.5 + 4x0.25 mm², polyurethane jacket, max speed 100 m/min, max acceleration 4 m/s², rated voltage 1000 V, UL compliant.
  • Feedback Cable: 8x2xAWG28 twisted pairs, polyurethane jacket, max speed 100 m/min, max acceleration 4 m/s², rated voltage 300 V, characteristic impedance 100 Ω, UL compliant.

Connectors include M23 8-pin for power and 17-pin for feedback with detailed pin assignments for phases, brake, thermal protection, and encoder signals.

Mechanical Dimensions and Installation

Overall dimensions and mounting details are provided, including stroke length calculations and mounting hole positions. The linear axes can be mounted in various orientations due to their flexible design.

Critical Parameters and Recommendations

  • Operating temperature range: 0°C to 40°C for motor; feedback components up to 50°C; Hall sensors up to 100°C.
  • Thermal protection is essential to prevent overheating; thermal cut-offs are integrated.
  • Maximum speed and acceleration limits must be respected to ensure performance and longevity.
  • Encoder selection should match application speed and accuracy requirements.
  • Cabling must comply with bending radius and environmental conditions for reliable operation.

Summary

The SKA COMPACT linear axes offer a robust, flexible, and integrated solution for precise linear motion applications. With multiple force ratings, encoder options, and comprehensive cabling/connectivity solutions, they are suitable for a wide range of industrial automation tasks requiring high speed, acceleration, and accuracy.
