ElectroCraft, Inc., the global fractional horsepower motor and motion solutions provider, has expanded its linear actuator lineup for the AxialPower™ family with the APES17.
ElectroCraft has recently expanded the AxialPower™ Enhanced Series of Linear Actuators to include a new high-performance 42mm (NEMA 17) frame size. This new linear actuator is highly configurable and available with a variety of imperial or metric leadscrew options with resolutions ranging from 0.006 mm to 0.050 mm per step, with an incredible output force of up to 1001 N (225 lbs.). The APES 17 offers 40% more force than competitive size 17 designs.
ElectroCraft hybrid stepper-based linear actuators provide original equipment manufacturers the precision, performance and reliability that is needed for a wide variety of motion control positioning applications. From medical and laboratory equipment to industrial machinery, ElectroCraft offers configurable to completely customizable solutions in three unique product designs: linear actuator (non-captive), leadscrew motor (external linear) or guided linear actuator (captive).
“ElectroCraft’s unique motor, shaft and insert designs offer industry-leading linear force per frame size while providing superior precision, speed and efficiency,” notes Scott Rohlfs, Director of Product Marketing, “These new actuators are ideal for a wide variety of medical and laboratory applications including precision metering pumps, mass spectrometers, gas & liquid chromatography systems, medical imaging systems, sample handling and dispensing systems, allowing equipment manufacturers to reduce product footprints while significantly increasing performance.”
ElectroCraft’s AxialPower™ family of linear actuator products are available in the most popular frame sizes, including 28mm (NEMA 11), 42mm (NEMA 17), 56mm (NEMA 23), and 86mm (NEMA 34).
