Reliance Precision Mechatronics is introducing a new version of the popular Haydon Kerk 36mm G4 linear actuator with an adapter plate that enables the smaller 36mm diameter unit to replace 42mm and 46mm units in existing applications, using existing mounting points.
According to the company, the 36mm G4 linear actuator's performance not only exceeds that of comparably sized actuators, but it approaches the performance of larger 42mm and 46mm linear actuators from various manufacturers.
Advantages of substituting the 36mm G4 linear actuator include a smaller linear actuator body, which is especially important when space is a premium, and cost savings compared with the larger units - without sacrificing performance or lifespan. Force output range for the G4 linear actuator is from 70N to 260N.
The G4 linear actuator architecture employs the latest technologies to extend reliability and meet high-performance requirements. The design utilises optimised tooth geometry and high-energy neodymium magnets, resulting in a higher continuous force output in a small package. With a claimed 20 per cent higher output force across the entire speed range compared with other designs of similar size, the G4 incorporates the latest custom-engineered plastics and larger bearings for greater rotor support and higher axial load capability.
The 36mm linear actuator is suitable for a wide range of applications including medical equipment, bar code scanning devices, printing equipment, laboratory instrumentation and other mechanisms that require high forces in small packages. As with Reliance's other stepper motor linear actuators range, three configurations are available: Captive, Non-Captive, and External Linear.
