New DR Series compact electric cylinders from Oriental Motor

★ By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Oriental Motor now sells DR Series compact electric cylinders based on 28-mm AZ Series or PKP Series stepper motors. The DR Series is available with an AZ Series or 2-phase PKP Series base motor.

The DR Series is a linear motion actuator that incorporates a precision ball screw into a stepper motor … saving space, reducing design work, and minimizing the number of parts needed for assembly … for guaranteed specifications and performance. Being a compact and complete in design, the DR Series can also reduce the size of the overall machine.

The DR Series AZ Type comes in four cylinder types — table type, wide table type, rod type, and guide rod type with 2 precision ball screws (2.5 mm or 1 mm). It is based on αSTEP technology with absolute closed loop control and works with any AZ DC input type driver.

The DR Series PKP Type offers three base cylinder types; table type, rod type and guided rod type with a 2.5 mm ball screw. It is based on PKP Series 2-phase motor technology and works with any CVD DC input type driver. Available with rear shaft adjusting knob.

Key features of the new DR Series are that it:

• Is available with AZ Series or PKP Series base motor
• Delivers a 30-mm maximum stroke length
• Includes an optional ball screw cover
• Can be supplied with multiple cable output directions based on cylinder type

To learn more about Oriental Motor’s new DR Series compact electric cylinders, contact the Technical Support group at (800) 468-3982 or visit this linear-actuator page for the product at orientalmotor.com.

Since its founding in Japan in 1885, Oriental Motor has been a world leader in motion control systems. For more than a century, the motion-component supplier has concentrated on technological advancement and product design improvement.
