Haydonkerk Motion Solutions is introducing the Kerk RGS linear slide assembly combined with the Haydon Motodrive PDE actuator. The integrated linear slide, stepper motor and electronic drive assembly combines both Kerk and Haydon technologies in a single unit.
The Kerk RGS linear slide features a standard wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriage to ensure repeatable and accurate positioning. All moving surfaces include Kerkite high-performance polymers running on either Kerkote or Black Ice TFE coatings, providing a strong, stable platform for a variety of linear motion applications.
Haydon Motodrives are integrated linear actuator and electronic drive units designed to operate with optically isolated inputs of pulse, direction and enable signals. Motodrives are programmable for micro-stepping ranging from full step mode to 64 micro steps per full step. Step resolution ranges from 200 full steps per revolution to 12,800 steps per revolution when micro-stepping. With a supply voltage of 12-42V DC, the Motodrive actuator functions with a run current programmable at Haydonkerk up to 2.6A(rms) per phase. The drive direction is enabled with logic level voltage and is activated using +5V DC. When operated at ground potential, the drive executes a retract move of the actuator.
By combining components into a complete optimised assembly, Haydonkerk says it is able to reduce risk, increase safety, and improve integration for OEMs or end users, resulting in a lower overall system cost.
