Akribis Systems said its new RDM-A series rod motors can deliver smooth linear motion, 0.5 to 31 pounds of continuous force, and up to about 93 pounds of peak force.
Motor and drive designer and manufacturer Akribis Systems recently announced a new addition to its motion control product line. The company’s new RDM-A series rod motors are designed for space-constrained applications requiring high motor forces and smooth linear motion.
Akribis said its RDM-A series rod motors are compact in size and feature a tubular design to distribute magnetic flux evenly along the circumference of the stator. With this approach, the motors can achieve continuous forces from 2.1 to 137.8 Newtons - about 0.5 to 31 pounds force - and peak forces from 6.2 to 413.4 Newtons - about 1.4 to 93 pounds force.
An air gap between the coil and magnet track can enable non-contact axial linear movement and steady force production over the length of the stroke. Ironless construction can ensure cog-free motion. Akribis said these design features can result in high motor forces, smooth motion, efficiency, and precision.
Additionally, a multi-mover option allows single motor control over multiple movers on one track to simplify complex, multi-axis applications.
