Overhang Load Length Information
December 30th, 2009 Posted in News |The overhang load length provides a reference for an appropriate offset of the load from the slider at which the actuator can operate smoothly without generating undesirable vibration.
Take note that if the overhang load length is exceeded, vibration may increase the positioning time, generate longer overshooting, lower the positioning repeatability, etc.
Vibration can also cause the guide to get pinched or receive uneven loads and eventually fail prematurely. Accordingly, be sure to observe the allowable overhang load length. (The load coefficient will change.)
Based on our experience, the overhang load length should not exceed approx. 5 based on the expression “L / l,” where L represents the overhang load length and l represents the slider length. If “L / l > 5,” use a double-guide specification or take other appropriate measures to ensure a sufficient span.
(Supplemental information)
With a measuring system equipped with a camera, the overhang load length may take a value of approx. 3 to 4. On the other hand, you can slightly increase the value of “L/ l” in applications where you only want your actuator to operate as intended.

Mini ROBO Cylinder on Automation.com
October 27th, 2009 Posted in News |
Mini ROBO Cylinder featured on Automation.com
October 25, 2009 – IAI announces Mini ROBO Cylinder electric actuators that are based on a ball screw, lead screw or linear servo for exceptional repeatability and speed. The Mini ROBO Cylinder comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet the needs of demanding applications and the reduced size makes it the perfect drop in replacement for pneumatic cylinders.
The versatile Mini ROBO Cylinder is the ideal motion control solution for applications needing precise control and multiple positioning points. The Mini ROBO Cylinder is also easily programmed for acceleration/deceleration, push and hold offering easier control than a comparable pneumatic system.
Mini ROBO Cylinder Benefits:
*Lead Screw: ±0.05 mm
*Ball Screw: ±0.02 mm
*Linear Servo: ± 0.1 mm
