LM Actuator TY

Product catalog summary
Overview: The LM Actuator Model TY is engineered for high-speed, long-stroke applications, emphasizing maintenance-free operation. Its lightweight and compact design makes it versatile for various industrial applications.
Specifications: The actuator employs a timing belt drive, supporting a maximum stroke of 4749 mm and a travel speed of up to 3400 mm/s with an AC servomotor. It offers positioning repeatability of ±0.1 mm and supports reduction ratios of 1/3, 1/5, and 1/9 to meet diverse speed and load requirements.
Features:
  • High-Speed and Long Stroke: Achieves high speeds and long strokes via its belt drive mechanism.
  • Maintenance-Free Operation: Features a Caged Ball LM Guide and QZ Lubricator for extended maintenance intervals.
  • Dustproof Option: An optional stainless steel cover provides dust protection, albeit with limitations on stroke and speed.
  • Lightweight Structure: Built with a narrow-width aluminum base to reduce weight.
Components: Includes a motor bracket, timing belt, reducer, and optional sensors. Supports both concentric and orthogonal axis type reducers, with specific motor bracket dimensions for each type.
Installation and Mounting: Designed for horizontal mounting using base fixing brackets, with detailed dimensions provided for proper installation.
Applications: Ideal for industrial applications requiring precise, high-speed linear motion with minimal maintenance.
Specifications and Model Selection: Offers detailed instructions for selecting and installing the Model TY LM Guide, including guidelines for calculating service life based on load conditions and ensuring motor output torque aligns with permissible input torque. Discusses options like motor brackets, sensors, and covers.
Service Life and Safety Factor: Information on service life and static safety factor is available in the General Catalog, with calculations possible via THK’s technical support site or software. Emphasizes that calculated service life is theoretical and may vary based on conditions.
Motor and Reducer Selection: Provides guidelines for selecting appropriate motors and reducers, including specifications for timing belts, pulleys, and coupling models. Lists permissible input torque and inertia values for various reducer models from Shimpo Drives and coupling models from Miki Pulley.
Operation and Environment: Advises on operational precautions such as avoiding disassembly, preventing foreign matter entry, and ensuring safe handling. Specifies optimal environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and absence of corrosive or flammable gases.
Lubrication and Storage: Highlights the importance of proper lubrication, recommending THK AFB-LF grease, and advises on greasing intervals and storage conditions to prevent damage.
Contact Information: Provides contact details for THK offices worldwide for further assistance and inquiries.

2. Long service life and long term maintenance-free operation Built-in Caged Ball LM Guide model SHS. Long service life and long term maintenance-free operation are possible because there is no mutual friction between the balls and grease retention is improved due to the effect of the caged ball. QZ Lubricator is equipped as standard*. The QZ Lubricator supplies an optimal amount of lubricant to the raceway of the LM rail, substantially extending maintenance intervals. * For Model TY, the QZ Lubricator is equipped on a single side only for each LM block. Application & spreading Caged ball LM...

Note 1) Positioning repeatability is standardized at an ambient temperature of 20°C. Note 2) Effective stroke is less than mechanical stroke for stainless steel cover option. Please refer to the dimensions tables for details (page 6). Note 3) The static permissible load is determined by either the bolt tightening strength or static rated load of the LM Guide unit. For the axial direction, it is determined by the torsional strength of pulley shaft. Note 4) Static permissible moment is the maximum value of the moment that can load on each direction. Note 5) Maximum load capacity guideline is the...
