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....
Date: 9 May 2018
The FTX-series is equipped with a high-capacity rollerscrew which makes the actuator suitable for heavy duty applications and high operating hours. The high dynamic bearing number of the nut results in a high durability. This makes it ideal as a environmental friendly alternative for hydraulic actuators. Exlar has launched the FTX-series as the newest generation and replacement for the FT-series.
By means of standard adapters for a lot of servomotors and planetary cases the drive is very easy to mount.
The next mounting possibilities are available:
The axis of the actuator is available with a male or female
screw stud.
The aluminium housing has a slot. The optional mounting system can be assembled very easily in this housing.
Optional terminal switches are provided. There is a magnet mounted in the nut. In the aluminium profile of the housing the switches can be mounted in any desired position.
Besides the FTX-series Exlar also developped the FTP-series. Due to the special arrangement of the bearing en the robust round front flange the actuator can deliver a compressive force of 355 kN. Ideal for applications like compressive molds and metal modification machines. For the retractable pulling motion 130 kN can be supplied. Duet o the high capacity rollerscrew the actuator can deliver at least 5 million strokes.
