The new linear axes series "NS Rotating Nut Linear cylinder" provides long stroke and speed nearly as fast as a linear motor. A maximum speed of 2400 mm/s and an acceleration up to 1 G is attained through the use of high-lead precision screws (equivalent to C5). Also, since there is minimal impact from dangerous rotation speeds, movement is possible at the maximum 2400 mm/s even at the maximum stroke (3000 mm), so the cycle time can be greatly reduced. Alltogether payloads of 10 - 80 kg horizontal or 6 - 16 vertical are possible.

The actuator suppliers structure is that rather than moving the nut in the straight line by rotating a ball screw, the ball screw is fixed and the nut is rotated by a servo motor built into the slider, so the slider moves in a straight line. Because the ball screw does not rotate, the influence of dangerous rotation speeds is minimal and this makes movement at high speeds possible even for long strokes.

For multi-slider support two sliders are set on one shaft and a multi-slider is set to operate them separately. Since this makes it possible for two industrial shafts to operate in the space of one shaft, it has a great effect in saving space and reducing tact time.

Used as x-axis in 2-, 3- or 4-axes systems, it works smoothly together with other 230 VAC linear axes of IAI’s modular workshop system (ISA, LSA, RCS2, RS ..).
