The name rodless actuator comes from this technology’s close relationship to electric cylinders, sharing many of the same components. Rather than having a rod, rodless actuators incorporate a carriage supported by linear bearings. Where electric cylinders are designed to extend in and out of the work area delivering force or thrust, rodless actuators are designed to be load carrying mechanisms (up to 300 lb) incorporating ballscrews, leadscrews, or belt drive transmissions with optional integrated gearheads.

Rodless actuators also share many of the fundamental design characteristics of precision positioning tables. Precision tables are designed to carry larger payloads and deliver superior repeatability and accuracy. Rodless actuators offer longer travels and higher speeds at a lower price. Screw driven rodless actuators are also thrust-producing devices that are best for axial force applications where the space is limited and a payload must also be supported or carried. As individual components, rodless actuators are not well suited for moment loading; however, they can be effectively combined into complete Cartesian systems for some multi-axis applications. For higher speed, lower thrust applications, rodless actuators can be repeatabilitydriven with a timing belt instead of a screw.

Kollmorgen has combined the broad product offering of the R-Series rodless actuators with the industry-leading AKM servomotors and AKD servo drives. The R-Series of rodless actuators offer a wide range of available thrusts in standard units with three basic frame sizes (R2A, R3, R4).

Rodless actuators offer longer travels (up to 108″) and higher speeds (belt drives up to a maximum speed of 120 in/sec). Integrated geared options provide the ability to increase thrust capacity for lower speed applications leveraging the speed capacity of servo systems.
