Compact Electric Cylinders
Compact Electric Actuators
Compact linear actuators feature a high-precision integrated ball screw incorporated into a stepper motor with a matching driver, for continuous high-positioning linear motion.
Available with or without guide, adjustment knob or electromagnetic brake. Reduces the number of components such as couplings and secondary external guides to make equipment more compact, quicker to install with less parts to order.
Built-in Controller (Stored Data) allows for easy networking and simplified multi-axis control.
- Table, Wide Table, Rod and Rod with Guide types
- Ground or Rolled ball screw
- Significantly fewer parts
- Reduced assembly time
DR/DRS2 Series Closed Loop AZ Series Stepper Motor Absolute Encoder Compact Electric Cylinders
The DR/DRS2 Series compact linear cylinder uses the AlphaStep AZ Series stepper motor and driver. The actuator is equipped with the Mechanical Absolute Encoder Stepper Motor. The Absolute Encoder is a mechanical multi-turn Absolute Sensor, so an external sensor is not required. This helps to save space and reduce wiring, as well as more compact and lightweight design of the equipment. Table Type, Wide Table Type, Rod Type and Rod Type with Guide available.
- AZ Series Absolute Encoder Stepper Motor
- Table Type, Wide Table Type, Rod Type and Rod Type with Guide
- 24/48 VDC Input
- AZ Series Connection Cables and DC Input Driver required (sold separately)*
Reliable Design and Structure
A hollow rotor and a ball screw nut are joined. Since no connecting parts are necessary, there is less backlash than when coupling rigidity, etc. combines other parts. Therefore, highly accurate positioning can be achieved.
High Positioning Accuracy
The ball screw nut is linked with the hollow rotor. Through the coupling rigidity and other aspects of parts combination, the impact of backlash has been minimized achieving high-precision positioning.
Ground Ball Screw
Ideal for applications where high positioning accuracy and low vibration are required, such as optical devices and semiconductor systems that use fine-feed pitches. The DR/DRS ground ball screw type achieves high reliability by maximizing the performance of a 5-phase stepper motor.
Rolled Ball Screw
Ideal for general positioning applications where reliability and ease of use are given priority. It combines the superior thrust and resolution of the ground ball screw type with greater ease of use.
