Oriental Motor now offers an expanded lineup of the popular AZ Series with the introduction of the new DRS2 Series compact linear actuator.

The DRS2 Series compact linear actuator is a high precision ball screw actuator fitted with the AZ Series stepper motor with absolute mechanical encoder. The absolute encoder is a mechanical multi-turn absolute sensor, so an external sensor or battery isn’t required. The compact body of the DRS2 Series houses the entire linear motion mechanism. This conserves space, reduces installation time and eliminates or reduces wiring and design costs while providing a compact and lightweight design element to the equipment.

The DRS2 Series can easily perform a push-motion operation after a positioning operation and allows for low speed pressing while gradually increasing force. The pushing force and timing are also adjustable, making the DRS2 Series suitable for applications that need high precision, micro positioning accuracy and repetitive closed loop motion.

The DRS2 Series is available with or without a ball screw guide and electromagnetic brake. Repetitive positioning accuracy is achieved through rolled ball screw (±0.01 mm) or ground ball screw (±0.003 mm). Three 24/48 VDC input driver types are also available: Built-in Controller (Network Type), Pulse Input Type or Pulse Input Type with RS-485 Communications.

In addition to the 42 mm (1.65 in.) model that comes with all of the aforementioned options, the DRS2 Series 60 mm (2.36 in.) standard model is available with or without an electromagnetic brake. For more information, visit this deep link at orientalmotor.com.
