Exlar K Series universal rod-style linear actuators

Exlar’s linear actuator line has been expanded to include the K Series universal rod-style linear actuators. The K Series allows for options to mount any type of motor and is also available with multiple grades of planetary roller screws and an option for an ACME screw, permitting operators to choose the configuration best suited to a specific application.

The K Series is available in four product performance levels. The KT, KX and KM Series incorporate planetary roller screws with differing performance characteristics for different application requirements. The KA Series actuators are constructed with an ACME screw for low duty cycle applications with 2.54 mm and 5.08 mm leads. The KA Series is capable of providing non-back driving solutions with a 2.54 mm lead. The KA Series is suitable for applications that position and hold a load, or need effective low duty cycle electromechanical motion.

The K Series offers users the choice of motor brand and type, including brushless servo, stepper, DC or AC motor. Input transmission options include parallel motor mounts with belt transmissions. Ratios of 1:1 to 2:1 are offered standard. Additional options include a direct drive inline mount or a base unit without motor mounting provisions. Mounting options include front flange, rear flange, rear clevis, rear eye, adjustable side trunnions, end angles or foot mount.

Exlar K Series linear actuators are available in multiple sizes, ranging from a 60 mm frame with standard stroke lengths to 750 mm and longer stroke lengths, and are a suitable replacement for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders in many applications.
