Roller Screw versus Ball Screw Actuators
In the ever-evolving field of engineering, roller screw technology has become a significant force in linear electric actuator motion control....
Accurate and constructive interesting servo drive consisting of a servo motor from the EZ series, with directly mounted right-angle helical bevel gear unit from the STÖBER MGS series. Without adapter and coupling.
Right-angle helical bevel servo geared motors available as:

In this production line, sensor tubes are pressed and welded in several consecutive steps. The tubes are transferred from one operation to the next using IAI gantries.
The sensor tubes are fed into the machine using a Stöber K-EZ drive.
The tube is picked up by the gantry and placed into a welding position. A Stöber motor then rotates the tube, while another Stöber motor equipped with a laser welds the tube shut. A following gantry picks up the tube, places it onto a conveyor belt, and tests whether it is leak-tight.

Production line featuring a machine that forms aluminium plates into tubes, which are later placed into a water boiler during the production process.
A pick-and-place module from IAI picks up a plate and places it into the machine, where the plate enters the processing stage.
Several HSB gantries, driven by Stöber servo systems, transport the aluminium tube through the machine. At the different workstations, the tube is clamped using an Exlar actuator. For the welding process, the welding torch is mounted on a highly robust linear module from HSB and Stöber.
Because multiple axes move simultaneously within overlapping working areas, these movements must be controlled with extremely high precision.
For this reason, all axes are synchronized and communicate with each other through a central motion controller from Trio Motion Technology. High accuracy is therefore essential within this machine.

Cardboard boxes are produced by folding continuously feeded cardboard with rotating hooks.
The Stöber P-EZ planetary servo drives are controlled by a motion controller. The hooks are positioned by a cam-profile.

Handling of 45,000 eggs per hour on a carousel which, through servo drives, rotates and with a lifting motion places the eggs in an egg braking machine.
![]()
Box packaging machine including feed with electronic and mechanical coupled drives. The feed consists of a smart-belt system with right-angle servo drives.

With the Slitting machine glass fiber reinforced plastic can be cut. Hereby the rolls can be determined by both length and width.
Servo drives are used for the throughput of the material, positioning and turning the slit units. This way the production speed and the synchronous operation are fully matched to each other. The Stöber helical-bevel servo gear units were chosen because of their compact installation and hollow mounting shafts.
We supply slewing ring bearings, oscillating mountings, tensioner devices from stock and we also have spiral bevel gearboxes, servo gears and electromechanical actuators in our delivery program.
In addition we also select and offer the right components and systems for motion control solutions, such as servo gear motors, linear servo actuators and complete XYZ cartesian systems.
