Rollon R-Smart linear actuators

The Rollon R-Smart linear actuator is specifically designed for long strokes and high load capacity. It features high efficiency, due to its use of dual linear bearing rails and is of simple construction, allowing quick fitting and easy lubrication as the rails are positioned externally to the aluminium profile.

The 200 mm size is suitable for automating large gantries requiring long strokes and high load-carrying capacity. This even allows the use of a cantilever design due to its high overturning-moment capacity.

The series features a steel-reinforced polyurethane toothed belt drive and dual linear bearing rails with two carriages per rail to support the load, all mounted on an anodised extruded aluminium profile of 6060 alloy. The R-Smart 220 has a static vertical load capacity of 237,000 N.

These features give the benefit of moving heavy loads with smooth motion, as well as speeds of up to 4 m/s over a maximum useful stroke length of up to 6 m. Longer strokes are possible with a joined version. Rollon’s S-Smart and E-Smart actuator ranges can also be combined to provide 3-axis or 2-axis gantries for pick-and-place operations.

A range of adapters and accessories is also available for the fitting of servo motors and planetary gearheads to the actuators, all of which are available to produce a complete motion system.
