Product Details

Overview

SteadyRail uses round shafting and ball bushings to provide smooth, low friction motion. With an emphasis on simplicity and durability, SteadyRail is available in several different stages and versions making it a motion solution that can do it all. Use SteadyRail as an undriven linear guide or as a ball screw driven linear actuator with the easy attachment of a NEMA 23 or NEMA 34 motor. Save design time and simplify your supply chain with pre-configured SteadyRail motion systems that have standardized hole patterns for mounting and attaching.

SteadyRail comes standard with self-aligning pillow block bearings in several different sizes as well as in several different support options. Each size includes either single or double wide pillow blocks in a standard series for simple installation, adjustable series with adjustable clearance, or the open series for long stroke applications. Additionally, SteadyRail is available with four different end support systems including end supported, continuously supported, double end supported, and double continuously supported.

PDU2 SteadyRail Cake Cutter

ULTRASONIC CAKE CUTTER

High-throughput, High-reliability Cutting of Frozen Food

APPLICATION DESCRIPTION:

Two ultrasonic vibration blades are actuated in order to slice frozen cake into a grid when it passes on a conveyor. Each is mounted to an XZ gantry which uses Hepco PDU2 actuators. These belt-driven systems can operate at up to 6 m/s for high- throughput applications and come in a corrosion-resistant variety.

INDUSTRY: Food - Cutting

PRODUCT USED: SteayRail and PDU2

Linear Actuator

The Signature Motion linear actuator series includes several lines from an economy line all the way up to high performance.
