Parker Hannifin (www.parker.com) has introduced its newest ORIGA rodless pneumatic linear actuator, a compact guide that features robust design, offers longer service life and is ideal for high load values.

Its cylinder profile tube is integrated with a Basic Guide, which fills the gap between the traditional ORIGA OSP-P rodless linear actuator and its combination with the external Slideline plastic plain bearing guide, making it suitable for all applications that demand a compact, durable guide for maximum load values and for simple play adjustment.

Although achieving small overall dimensions, the Basic Guide’s ability to support high load values sets itself apart. It eliminates the need for an extra guiding profile and substantially reduces the installation space needed.

With the Basic Guide, users can easily fit 5 mm T-slot magnetic switches into the profile tube without projecting edges. Using four slide profiles, the guide carriage of the Basic Guide is accurately fitted to the cylinder profile. Even in cases of one-sided uneven loading and wear, the guide play can adjusted at any time without misaligning the guide carriage. Thus, the guide carriage is always in its horizontal position.

Just like every ORIGA cylinders, the Basic Guide comes with magnetic pistons and adjustable end position cushioning, including end caps which can be rotated through 4×90°. The Basic Guide is also designed with the usual options, such as VITON seals, single-side air connection, integrated 3-way valves, Niro version and a slower-running version for stick/slip free operation.
