Product catalog summary
Overview
The ALS Electromechanical Screw Ram is a versatile drive system designed for various applications in the machine building industry. It is available in four sizes and two versions: the compact 'ALS' and the cylinder 'ALSR'. This system is ideal for single drive applications in linear motion projects.
Product Description
The ALS features a fully enclosed housing with robust axial and radial bearings, offering long-term lubrication and low maintenance. The housing can be converted into a swiveling version. The standard version includes a self-locking trapezoidal screw with a traveling nut and a drive shaft for gear motor mounting. The ALSR version adds a shaft and thrust tube design, with the thrust tube being hard chrome-plated. Various motor options and accessories like stroke limiting devices and anti-turn devices are available.
Design Features
  • Maximum dynamic axial force: 10 = 12.5 kN, 25 = 25 kN, 50 = 50 kN, 100 = 100 kN
  • Lifting speeds range from 0.5 m/min to 10 m/min
  • Self-locking trapezoidal screw
  • Compatible with various flange-fitting gear motors
  • Long-term lubrication with high-quality grease
  • Customizable stroke lengths based on buckling and speed diagrams
  • Electronic synchronization of multiple drives
  • Compliance with EC Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX)
Applications
  • Feed drives for horizontal or vertical movements in machine building and plant construction
  • Linear adjustments in automation, handling, and automobile industries
  • Drive units in lock gates and sewage farms
  • Applications in the food industry and outdoor environments
  • Use in aerospace, crane manufacturing, and the paper industry
Technical Specifications
  • Trapezoidal and ball screw threads available
  • Trapezoidal threads for lift speeds up to 3 m/min and low duty cycles
  • Ball screw threads for frequent adjustments and lift speeds over 3 m/min
  • Stroke limitation options available
Selection and Sizing
  • Refer to selection tables for maximum permissible forces
  • Check screw size in buckling and speed diagrams for compressive forces
  • Determine size based on performance data tables considering load, speed, and duty factor
  • Service life calculations available for bearings and ball screws
Performance Data
Performance data tables provide detailed information on dynamic lifting force, duty cycles, and ambient temperature conditions. Specific tables are available for different ALS and ALSR sizes with both trapezoidal and ball screw options.

Trapezoidal and ball screw threads Trapezoidal thread suitable for: • Lift speeds up to approx. 3 m/min • Low duty cycle (approx. 20% per hour). Ball screw threads suitable for: • Frequent adjustment s • Lift speeds > 3 m/min • Exceptional operating conditions Anti-turn device An integrated anti-turn device can be f ­itted to the shaft tube in the "ALSR" v ­ ersion, if no on-site anti-turn device is on the spindle. Stroke limitation The "ALSR" version can be fitted with a stroke limitation to order. The picture shows an inductive version using an inductive proximity switch in a programmable D.C....

Buckling diagram Speed diagram Critical rotation speed [min-1] Safety at: compression range S=4, Euler’s range S=6 System length = NL + H + C 1) With no floating bearing at the end of the screw, the critical rotation speed is reduced by approx. 80%. Euler’s case I Euler’s case II Euler’s case III System length [mm] Calculation formula: • Look into the selection table for the maximum permissible tensile/compressive forces to narrow down the choice of size • Drive power: • For compressive force: Check the screw size in the buckling diagram (consider the Euler’s case) • Screw lengths from > 1400...
