IKO’s New High-Thrust Linear Motor Stage Delivers Long Stroke Lengths in Constrained Spaces
IKO is pleased to announce its LT170H2 direct drive linear motor stage for dynamic applications such as semiconductor fabrication which require high thrust forces and long strokes.
This latest addition to the LT family of linear motor stages delivers 260N of rated force and up to 500N maximum, exceeding the thrust ratings of previous LT stages and expanding the linear stage series' range of suitable applications - especially those that involve positioning heavy objects in tight spaces.
Its redesigned linear motor leverages direct drive technology that is free of mechanical power transmission parts that can otherwise hinder positioning accuracy. The LT170H2 also comes with C-Lube linear bearings for guidance. Together, they allow the positioning stage to achieve higher thrust forces and high speeds with exceptional precision. Additional features and specifications include:
-High speeds up to 3,000 millimeters per second.
-Repeatable speeds thanks to its low-cogging motor design.
-Reduced cycle times versus the previous LT…H positioning table.
-Long strokes up to 2,750 millimeters.
-Compact size and a 170-millimeter width.
-Low power consumption due to the high thrust rating. In fact, the LT170H2 consumes approximately 48 percent less power than the previous LT…H unit.
In addition to semiconductor fabrication applications, the LT170H2 is also well-suited for use in measuring instruments, assembly systems and material handling machinery.
