Mechanical Linear Actuators

Product catalog summary
General Information
  • SERVOMECH Linear Actuators: Motorized mechanical cylinders converting rotary motion into linear motion, suitable for heavy industrial applications. They offer energy efficiency, safety, and adaptability to extreme temperatures, available in self-locking and non-self-locking configurations.
  • Linear Actuator Range: Includes five actuator groups with different designs, input drives, and fixing types. Series include ATL, BSA, CLA, CLB, UBA, UAL, TMA, and ILA, featuring worm gear or timing belt drives, and acme or ball screws.
Linear Actuator Selection Overview
  • Thermal Limit Considerations: Actuators generate heat, and selection must consider the application duty cycle (Fu) compared to the actuator's permissible duty cycle (Fi).
  • Selection Procedure: Identify requirements, determine linear drive type, size selection, mechanical checks, determine actuator ratio, check thermal limit, select accessories, check dimensions, and complete ordering code.
Examples:
  • Example 1: Acme screw actuator ATL 30 RN2 for a stroke of 300 mm and linear speed of 20 mm/s with a dynamic load of 4500 N.
  • Example 2: Acme screw actuator ATL 25 RV2 for a stroke of 600 mm and linear speed of 60 mm/s with a dynamic load of 900 N.
  • Example 3: Ball screw actuator UBA 3 for a stroke of 500 mm and linear speed of 125 mm/s with a dynamic load of 1800 N.
  • Example 4: Acme screw actuator TMA Series for a stroke of 1200 mm and linear speed of 0.4 mm/s with a dynamic load of 50 kN.
Self-Locking Mechanisms:
  • Static Self-Locking: Occurs when the self-locking coefficient is below 0.35.
  • Dynamically Self-Locking: Stops when the motor is switched off if the self-locking coefficient is below 0.30.
  • Uncertain Locking: Coefficient between 0.35 and 0.55, locking depends on load and system inertia.
  • Non Self-Locking: Coefficients above 0.55 indicate non self-locking actuators.
Manufacturing Features:
  • Input Drive: Utilizes worm gear and precision helical wheel with low angular backlash.
  • Housing: Made from high-quality materials like hardened aluminum alloy and spheroidal graphite cast iron.
  • Acme Screw: Features ISO trapezoidal threads, made from steel C 43.
  • Ball Screw: Designed by SERVOMECH, made from steel 42 CrMo 4.
Technical Data:
  • ATL Series: Specifications for sizes 20 to 125, detailing push rod diameters, outer tube diameters, and load capacities.
  • BSA Series: Similar specifications as ATL, with additional details on ball screw diameters and dynamic/static load capacities.
Performance:
  • ATL Series with AC 3-Phase Motor: Performance metrics include linear speed, dynamic load, motor power, and self-locking coefficients.
Specifications:
The document outlines the performance of ACME screw linear actuators (ATL Series) and ball screw linear actuators (BSA Series) with various motor configurations. Key parameters include linear speed, dynamic load, motor power, number of poles, speed, and self-locking coefficient.
Dynamic Efficiency:
The total dynamic efficiency (h) for both ATL and BSA series is calculated using the formula h = h1 × h2 × h3.
Performance Data:
Tables provide detailed performance data for different actuator models, including linear speed, dynamic load, and motor specifications.
Limitations and Recommendations:
Guidelines for actuator dynamic load capacity and the importance of considering ball screw lifetime.
Design and Dimensions:
Detailed dimensions for various actuator sizes and configurations, highlighting the importance of proper installation and stroke length considerations.
Electric Motors
Details on AC and DC motors, including brake-motor requirements.
Additional Information
Includes product nameplate, delivery conditions, installation, maintenance, lubrication, and general terms of sale.

SERVOMECH Linear Actuators 1.1 SERVOMECH Linear actuators SERVOMECH mechanical linear actuators are motorised mechanical cylinders able to transform the rotary motion of a motor into the linear motion of a push rod. They are designed and manufactured for industrial applications, even the heaviest in terms of: ▪ applied load ▪ linear speed ▪ duty cycle ▪ environmental conditions. They are able to work under push or pull load. According to their configuration, they can be: ▪ statically self-locking - able to sustain static load keeping the same position when the motor is switched off; ▪ statically...

SERVOMECH Linear Actuators 1.3 Linear actuator selection THERMAL LIMIT Linear actuators transform the rotary motion into a linear motion. This transformation involves a dissipation of energy in the form of heat. Therefore, to choose the right actuator for an application it is necessary to take into account the application duty cycle required and compare it with the actuator duty cycle permissible. The application duty cycle required Fu [%] is the ratio expressed in percentage between the actual working time under load during the reference time period of 10 minutes and the reference period itself....
