ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE COVER STORY Direct drive electric linear motors
Servo Components & Systems introduces the Nitek Green Drive electric linear motor range, looks into its features and benefits, and explores the applications
he Nitek Green Drive electric linear motor range is designed specifically for use as an actuator. Combining the speed and rugged operation of pneumatics, the controllability of a ball screw and the inherent reliability of direct drive linear motors, the Green Drive actuator is a low-cost, powerful industrial pusher/puller. The simple two-part design makes the Green Drive actuator very
T
reliable – the internal rod support bearing provides a maintenance free solution with service life up to 10 times that of ball screws. Using direct drive electric technology, the Green Drive actuator has quiet operation with speeds up to 5m/s, peak force to 1000N and a positional repeatability of 50
Application: Handling wafer biscuits

micron, making it suitable for many industrial applications. Traditional pneumatic actuators can become very complicated to program, requiring elaborate control
valves and complex electro-pneumatic control systems to choreograph the positioning function. However, direct drive electric linear actuators provide positional control using integral Hall sensor position feedback and, when used with a matching Copley Controls digital amplifier such as the Xenus, the Green Drive actuators form a complete ‘plug and play’ positioning subsystem. Copley’s intuitive indexing software is used to tune and program the Green Drive system quickly and easily. A PLC can be used to initiate the Xenus amplifier stored motion profiles, simplifying the
