Parker: High moment rodless (HMR) linear actuators

Designed to reduce overall design time and simplify installation and integration, the High Moment Rodless (HMR) electromechanical linear actuator series from Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division includes five different frame sizes, two different drive train options, multiple motor mounting, carriage and sensor options, an IP54 protective cover option, along with many other customizable features.

Pw 75293 Hmr 1

Guided by two precision square rail bearings, the HMR has enormous moment and payload capacity bundled in a low profile, and sleek package. The options of either a high-efficiency timing belt drive or a precision ball screw with multiple lead options allow the user to maximize performance within their system.

By integrating externally-accessible lubrication fittings into the carriage which evenly disperse lubricant across the bearing trucks and ball nut, machine maintenance is easier, and overall maintenance costs are lowered. In addition, there are options for two different chassis profiles, allowing the user to choose between a super-low-profile and cost-effective “basic” version, or a “reinforced” version, which provides structural rigidity for long unsupported spans.

Potential applications for the HMR range from packaging equipment, material handling, robot transfer, or other general automation applications, but with the adaptability of this actuator, it is also suitable for integration into any machine layout.

HMR High Moment Rodless Linear Actuator Features of the HMR linear actuator include:  5 profile sizes: 085, 110, 150, 180 and 240mm; dual drive train: precision ball screw or high-efficiency timing belt; load capacity up to 26,600 N; max thrust to 5,560N (screw) and 4,000N (belt); standard strokes up to 4000mm (screw) and 6000mm (belt);max speed to 1.6 m/s (screw) and 5 m/s (screw); 2 profile types: basic and reinforced; tandem and bi-parting carriage options; optional sensor locations: internal (protected under the cover) or external; belt version has four mounting locations at 90 degrees around axis of motion; easy lube fittings on carriage; pre-configured motor, gearhead, and control package options; diverse range of accessories and mountings; IP54-rated cover option; and ambient temperature range: -30°C to +80°C.
