Latest line in drives
November 1st 2008 Parker-Origa has introduced a
new generation of powerful electric
linear drives that offer high levels of
performance and application
flexibility. The Origa Drive System
(ODS) encompasses screw, belt
and linear motor driven systems,
providing users with speed,
precision and load carrying
capacity for any application. The
design provides increased flexibility
in terms of assembly and
disassembly, high levels of ingress
protection as standard, simple
lubrication, and optional add-ons.
Much of the design focus for the
ODS has been on increasing
repeatability, accuracy force and
speed across the range. As an
example, the ballscrew driven
ODS-SB version offers repeatability
2.5 times more precise than the
previous generation, and provides
action forces up to 66% higher.
A newly developed guide system
has options for plain bearing guide,
roller guide or recirculating ball
bearing guide. The guide takes all
the load to allow higher performance
ratings over longer rail lengths.
The ODS comes in a basic profile
version for supported lengths and
as a reinforced profile version for
unsupported lengths, allowing the
profile to be used in free-standing
applications without the need for
additional profiles or specially made
supports. A standard bore pattern
simplifies mounting; tailored bore
patterns can also be provided.
Parker Hannifin Corporation has
acquired Hoerbiger-Origa Holding
AG (Origa Group). Origa will
continue to serve customers
globally, as part of Parker
Hannifin's Automation group. More articles from Parker-Origa Ltd: |
