Linear Actuator/Guide for Lamination Feeders

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Linear Actuator/Guide

Definition

The Linear Actuator/Guide is a critical sub-assembly within a Lamination Feeder, responsible for accurately positioning and moving lamination materials (such as films, foils, or papers) along a predetermined linear path. It ensures smooth, repeatable motion with minimal friction and precise alignment during the feeding process. This component integrates a linear actuator—typically a ball screw, lead screw, or pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder—that converts rotational or fluid power into precise linear displacement. Coupled with a linear guide system, such as a rail and carriage with recirculating ball bearings, it constrains motion to a single axis, providing high rigidity and load capacity while minimizing deflection and wear. The actuator/guide is available with stroke lengths from 50 to 500 mm, maximum thrust from 100 to 2000 N, and maximum speeds from 0.1 to 1.0 m/s. Repeatability ranges from ±0.02 to ±0.05 mm, and positioning accuracy from ±0.05 to ±0.1 mm, both per ISO 230-2. Operating temperature is -10 to 60 °C, with protection classes IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529. Supply voltage is 24 V DC ±10%, with rated current from 1.5 to 4.0 A at rated load. Lead screw diameter ranges from 8 to 20 mm, lead from 5 to 20 mm, and guide rail width from 15 to 35 mm. Weight varies from 2.5 to 15 kg depending on stroke and size. Materials include hardened steel, aluminum alloy, and engineering plastics for bearings or sliders. These values are reference ranges; verify model-specific specifications with the manufacturer.

Working Principle

The Linear Actuator/Guide operates by converting input power—electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic—into linear motion via a lead screw or cylinder. The actuator's rotational motion is transformed into linear displacement of a carriage, which is guided along a rail system. The guide system uses recirculating ball bearings to reduce friction and maintain precise alignment. Control signals regulate the actuator's position, speed, and force, enabling accurate placement of lamination materials. The design ensures high rigidity and load capacity, with minimal backlash and thermal drift, contributing to repeatable positioning.
