LCR16 Series Linear Rotary Actuator

The LCR16 from SMAC Moving Coil Actuators provides precision Z-theta motion within one small actuator, which is suitable for a pick, orient and place applications. A wide variety of LCR16 linear rotary actuators are available with either direct-drive or gearbox-equipped rotary units.

The vacuum-built-in shaft through the rotary motor is available for some models to prevent dust build-up in the unit.  These Z-theta actuators can easily be programmed to control force/torque, position and velocity in all axes at the same time with feedback capability. SMAC's patented "Soft-Land" function enables the unit to gently land on a delicate component with a controlled force to avoid damage of both the component and the actuator.

The actuator is constructed with a direct-drive brushless servomotor. It's designed with linear guide built-in lubrication to offer long life cycle. Moreover, it provides absolute control over: force/torque, position, acceleration and velocity.

Features include:

• Direct-drive brushless servomotor
• Combined linear and rotary motions in a single unit
• Fully programmable in force/torque, position and velocity
• SMAC’s patented "Soft-Land" technology
• Self-lubricated linear guide
• Low shaft runout, 30µm (Lower runout optional)
• Vacuum through shaft prevents dust accumulation
• MTBF 100 million life cycle
