A complete motion control solution

This costeffective miniature servo system combines a precision stepper motor and high resolutionencoder with sophisticated drive and control electronics in a single, compact unit.

– NEMA sizes 11, 17 and 23 each with two frame lengths– Encoder resolution of 50,000 counts per revolution– Speeds from 0 to 3,000 RPM– Continuous torques from 0.027 to 0.87 Nm (1.24 Nm peak)– Hinfinity controller and vector drive for fully closed loop control of

position, speed and torque. Tuning not required in most applications.– Fully programmable for standalone operation– RS232 and USB communications as standard– Options for RS485 and Ethernet– Digital and analogue input and output– Safe and efficient 24V DC operation

Compared with an equivalent size of stepper motor Cool Muscle works faster, with more availabletorque, it is more efficient and generates less heat.

Closed loop control means no step loss. In an open loop system it is possible for the motor to fail tomove the exact number of steps if it is overloaded. Cool Muscle, being a closed loop control system, isable to identify any potential for step loss and to correct it.

Cool Muscle is available with two types of control interface: Pulse Type (P) and Computer Type (C). ThePType is applicable for a drive and stepper system with steppulse control, such as a PLC. Cool Muscleprovides an effective dropin solution to resolve step loss problems and also provides a more integratedsolution, having a combined stepper and drive. The CType offers a higher level of computer control ina single integrated unit which can remove the need for a separate controller or, in more complexsystems, reduce the investment required in additional controllers.

Cool Muscle’s unique features include the ability to link up to 15 motors which can operate together incomplex sequences without an additional controller. Cool Muscle is able to use a physical limit of travelas its reference position, using torque sensing to safely and accurately find the limits of travel withoutneeding a position sensor (e.g. limit switch).

The high level of integration provided by Cool Muscle reduces cabling, keeps components to a minimumand speeds up system assembly.

Cool Muscle is ideal for laboratory and test equipment or for light industrial automation.

Linear Actuators


IntelligentM

Hybrid linear actuators

Reliance offers a range of low maintenance hybrid linear actuators for equipment designers who requirehigh performance and exceptional endurance in a very small package. The actuators are engineeredwith custom thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel leadscrew. This allows the linear

actuator to be quieter, more efficient and moredurable than the standard acme thread and bronzenut configuration commonly used in other linearactuators.

The hybrid linear actuators are available in NEMAframe sizes 8 to 34, with up to 400 full steps perrevolution and travel increments as small as 0.003mm/step.

There are three configurations:• captive shaft• noncaptive linear• external linear

Captive linear actuators offer a short stroke in a compact package where antirotation of the shaft is notpossible by any other means. These units convert rotary to linear motion via an integrated leadscrewand nut. The integrated leadscrew is held captive within the motor housing, welded to a stainless steelspline arrangement. This provides antirotation of the leadscrew enabling precise linear movement.

The noncaptive linear actuator leadscrew travels through the motor giving an extremely short footprint.As with the captive shaft actuator, conversion of rotary to linear motion takes place within the motor itselfby means of the integrated leadscrew and nut, therefore eliminating the use of belts and pulleys,couplings and other mechanical transmission components.

External linear actuators combine conventional leadscrew and nut technology with stepper motortechnology. The leadscrew forms part of the motor shaft negating the need for a shaft to shaft coupling,thus providing zero transmission error from motor to screw and shortening the overall linear footprint.

Linear rail actuators

The linear rail actuator consists of a stationary base and load bearing carriage that travels along a rigidextruded aluminium rail, together with a single stack size 17 stepper motor.

The carriage design is unique; it controls slidebearing play with a selfadjusting linear bearing.Integrated along the entire length rail system are“T” slots allowing mounting of limit switches andsensors.

The leadscrew is made from 303 stainless steelwith a Black Ice™ TFE coating for durable andpermanent lubrication.

The features of the linear rail actuator include:

• “T” slots integrated into exterior rail bottom and sides that accommodate full length support andvarious mounting options

• Loads easily attach to the compact, moving carriage with four or six M4 x 0.7 size screws• Load bearing carriage moves efficiently and smoothly within the internal rail geometry of this

specially designed aluminum extrusion• Rail provides endtoend axial stability and precise motion system accuracy• Automatic adjustments of slide bearing play with a patent pending “antibacklash” linear bearing• Rated life equals that of the existing leadscrews of similar size• Leadscrew end configurations adapt to various rotary motion sources• Black Ice™ TFE coatings on a 303 stainless steel leadscrew

For optimum performance, the system can be fitted with the Size 17 Hybrid Linear Actuator, see page 224 available in a wide variety of resolutions from 0.001524 mm/step to 0.048768 mm/step,delivering thrust of up to 222 N. For greater performance Size 17 Hybrid Double Stack Linear actuatorsprovide 0.0158mm/step to 0.127 mm/step and deliver thrust of up to 337 N.

Motorised Leadscrew Linear Slide


IntelligentM

otors

Introducing the motorised leadscrew linear slide range

Reliance offers a range of motorised actuator systems including the motorised leadscrew linear slide. Itoffers exceptional linear speed, accurate positioning, and long life in a compact assembly. One of itsmany advantages is that the length and speed are not limited by critical screw speed, allowing high

RPM and linear speeds, even over longspans. Lengths up to 2.4 metres canreadily be built, and longer lengths arepossible on a special order basis.

The motorised leadscrew linear slidefeatures wearcompensating, antibacklash carriages to ensure repeatableand accurate positioning. The preassembled unit combines a screwdrivenlinear actuator with an integrated steppermotor drive reducing part count andimproving system integration.

It is available in standard and wide base options, each capable of supporting a range of load capacities.There are four variants of the standard base supporting 67 N, 156 N, 222 N and 445 N, and two of thewide base to support 156 N and 445 N. Both are available with a right or left hand thread; the nominalthread leads are shown in the table opposite. The stepper motor is available in three sizes NEMA size11, 17 and 23, alternatively the actuator can be supplied integrated with the Reliance Cool Musclemotor, see pages 219 to 223, or as a nonmotorised leadscrew linear slide see page 738.

Typical considerations when selecting a linear actuator include:

• How much force is required from the linear actuator?• What is the duty cycle of the linear move? • What is desired step increment from the linear actuator?• What is the step rate or speed of travel?• Bipolar or unipolar coils in the stepper motor prime

mover? • Stepper motor coil voltage?• Must the lead screw hold position with power off or

must it be “backdrivable” with power off?• Are there size restrictions (max footprint of the linear

actuator)?• What is the anticipated life requirement?• Temperature of operating environment?

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Economic, space saving solutions

The Reliance bevel and hypoid gearboxes provide an economic, space saving solution for right anglemotion in a restricted space envelope. There are 3 types of gearbox available:

The BE seriesThe BE series is the most economical choice, offered withstainless steel bevel gears mounted in plain bearings, witheither 1:1 or 2:1 ratios. It is a small, compact, anodisedaluminium unit, with a removable, plastic, clipon cover. Theunit can be easily mounted into an assembly to provide a 90ºdrive where space prevents a direct layout.

The BS seriesThe BS series is a onepiece, slimline aluminium housingwith stainless steel bevel gears and shafting, offered insingle or double output configurations with either 1:1 or 2:1ratios. Using ISO 8 quality bevel gears, when assembled thebacklash of the assembly is as low as
