IAI ERC3 linear actuators with built-in controller

Date: 1 February 2016

The new ERC3 actuators of IAI Industrial Robots are composed of a 24V stepper motor with an integrated controller. This makes the ERC3 linear actuator an economical solution with space savings in the control cabinet. The linear actuator is equiped with a ball screw spindle, and can be delivered with a slider or rod.

ERC3-S with slider:

- Stroke length from 50 to 800 mm
- Max horizontal load: 55 kg
- Max vertical load: 22 kg
- Max speed: 600 mm/s

Typical applications are inkjet printer, component palletizing and assembling systems. This type is also available in cleanroom (ISO Class 4)

ERC3-R with rod:

- Stroke from 50 to 300 mm
- Max horizontal load: 70 kg
- Max vertical load: 25 kg
- Max speed: 800 mm/s

Typical applications are product life testing systems and work part alignement systems with push functions.

 

Built-in controller

The controller is integrated within the stepper motor in the actuator. The connection is 24V and 4,2A maximum. The controller can capture 16 positions which can be controlled from a PLC with digital I/O. It is also possible to control the the actuator with a pulse and direction signal from the PLC.
Programming is very easy with the setup software or with a teach-in panel.
