Linear actuator with linear ball bearing and guideway assembly and direct drive (MAI 105)

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about the MKUVS 42-LM series linear actuators, which feature linear ball bearings, guideway assembly, and direct drive. These actuators are equipped with an integral electromagnetic measuring system and are designed for moderate loads with high dynamic characteristics and speed.

Specifications:

The actuator includes a carriage with four KUVS linear recirculating ball bearing units, a primary component of the linear motor, and a sensing head for the measuring system.
The support rail/guideway combines the secondary component of the linear motor and the measuring system's longitudinal scale.
It supports forces and moments from all directions and is easy to fit due to T-slots and threaded holes.
Options include a circulating covering strip, flexible cable trunking system, shock absorbers, and a pneumatic brake (in preparation).
Suitable for accelerations up to 40 m/s², speeds up to 5 m/s, and operating temperatures from 0°C to +60°C.

Control System:

The actuator is driven by the COMPAX 3 digital positional controller, offering high dynamic and positioning accuracy (repeat accuracy of ±0.01 mm).
COMPAX 3 ensures compliance with UL, cUL, and CE standards and supports the "Safe operational stop" function to EN 954-1.
Control options include digital I/O, RS 232/RS 485, Profibus DP, and CANopen.

Features:

Carriage made from anodised aluminium with threaded holes and lubrication nipples for relubrication.
Support rail made from anodised aluminium with a magnetic measuring strip and a maximum length of 8,000 mm.
Maintenance-free direct drive, covering strip, and return units.

Options and Accessories:

ADA: Circulating covering strip.
KT: Flexible cable trunking system.
STOD: Shock absorbers on both sides.

Dimensions and Load Ratings:

Dimension tables provide detailed measurements and mounting dimensions for various configurations.
Basic load ratings and static moment ratings are specified for the carriage guidance system and linear guidance system.

Linear actuator with linear ball bearing and guideway assembly and direct drive (MAI 105)-1

Linear actuators with linear ball bearing and guideway assembly and direct drive MKUVS 42-LM with an integral electro-magnetic measuring system are ready-to-fit units. They consist of a carriage with four KUVS linear recirculating ball bearing units, the integral primary component of the linear motor and the sensing head of the measuring system and the combined support rail/guideway with the secondary component of the linear motor and the longitudinal scale of the measuring system.They are suitable for moderate load and have a guidance system preloaded free from clearance. The linear motor is integrated in a compact construction in the actuator and ensures travel free from stick-slip, high dynamic characteristics and high speed.The linear motor is driven by the digital positional controller COMPAX 3. This positioning system, with its optimum dynamic and positioning accuracy characteristics (repeat accuracy The rapid control system allows very high cycle rates. This reliably prevents process-critical overshoot behaviour.COMPAX 3 ensures adherence to the standards UL, cUL and CE. Furthermore, the function Safe operational stopӔ to EN954-1 is supported.The control options available for positioning are: digital I/O, RS 232/RS 485, Profibus DP and CANopen. Other controllers can be incorporated by means of Profibus, CAN or RS 485. 0,01mm), has achieved a convincing level of control engineering. The system is highly robust in response to load changes in the drive train. COMPAX 3 has very good damping and fulfils the conditions for a stable control loop and precise positioning of the actuator. The electronic controller is effective at preventing vibrations in the control loop and allows a rigid drive train. > 211 059
