New generation of linear motor stages from Yaskawa

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

The Drives & Motion Division of Yaskawa America, Inc. has added the Sigma Trac II series linear servo motor stages to the Sigma-7 servo family.

Sigma Trac II combines a Yaskawa SGLF2 series linear motor with linear bearings, high-resolution absolute optical scale, cable management, and optional bellows to create a turnkey linear stage. Leveraging the high performance of Sigma-7 servo amplifiers, system designers and automation end users can design smaller, faster, more accurate linear motion systems for additive manufacturing, packaging, material handling, machining, and assembly applications.

Features include:

  • Peak force output up to 540 N
  • Speeds up to 5 m/sec
  • High reliability with 10 million double-stroke design life
  • Absolute encoder feedback with 9.765 nm resolution
  • Zero maintenance
  • Integrated cable management
  • Stroke lengths up to 1,340 mm
  • Optional bellows and X-Y adapter kit

“Our expertly designed, manufactured, and tested mechatronic solutions can reduce your time-to-market”, stated Bryan Knight, Linear and Direct Drive Product Marketing Manager. “This new linear stage design will allow machine builders to create innovative mechanisms that are smaller and faster than ever before.” By using the latest linear motor and magnet technology, Yaskawa has packed more performance in a smaller, lighter linear motor. When combined with Sigma-7 servo amplifiers, Sigma Trac II linear motor stages provide short settling time for greater repeatability in highly dynamic movements that are typical in packaging, assembly, and additive manufacturing applications. Sigma Trac II stages are available in three coil sizes and 13 base lengths, making it is easy to select the optimal linear servo motor stage for any application.
