October 6, 2011 – Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division releases its MX45S linear positioner. The MX45S is a 45 mm wide miniature screw-driven positioner based on the MX80 family. The MX45S has been engineered for OEMs requiring reliable linear positioning in space-restricted applications. Designed with anti-cage creep cross roller bearings, this positioner allows users to position up to 7 kg (15.4 lbs) of normal load on the available three standard travel lengths (5 mm, 15 mm and 25 mm).
The MX45S can be supplied with a high-efficiency leadscrew or a high- precision ballscrew, both of which are capable of producing 40 N of thrust at linear velocities of 20 mm/s and 30 mm/s respectively. Ideal applications for the MX45S include fiber optic alignment, semiconductor inspection and laser diode research.
Additional design features include:
- Ultra-compact profile (25 mm high X 45 mm wide X 65, 75 or 90 mm long)
- 30 mm/s max velocity
- Stepper motor driven
- Standard multi-axis configurations
In addition to the standard features designed into the MX45S, there are several options available to help match the positioner’s performance to the application requirements. These options include rotary and linear encoders, digital limit/home sensor packs and the ability to order and receive one of 11 pre-engineered multi-axis systems.
