Integrated guide for the OSP-P rodless pneumatic linear actuators (March 2011)
Parker Hannifin, the world’s largest diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies, has launched its latest ORIGA rodless pneumatic linear actuator. This is a compact guide of robust design, which is suitable for high load values and offers a long service life.
The Basic Guide, integrated directly into the cylinder profile tube, closes the gap between the standard version of the ORIGA OSP-P rodless linear actuator and its combination with the external Slideline plastic plain bearing guide. This makes the Basic Guide ideal for all applications that require a particularly compact, highly durable guide for maximum load values as well as simple play adjustment.
In order to achieve particularly compact construction dimensions, the guiding profile of the Basic Guide is integrated directly into the cylinder profile.
Although this approach results in small overall dimensions, the Basic Guide sets itself apart with its ability to handle high load values. Dispensing with an additional guiding profile substantially cuts the size of the installation space required and noticeably reduces the weight.
Using the Basic Guide, 5 mm T-slot magnetic switches can be fitted directly to the profile tube, without projecting edges. The guide carriage of the Basic Guide is fitted precisely to the cylinder profile by means of four slide profiles. The guide play is adjustable and can be readjusted at any time, even in the event of one-sided uneven loading and wear, without the guide carriage being misaligned as a result. The guide carriage therefore always remains in its ideal horizontal position.
The Basic Guide uses slide units that are wear-resistant and durability-tested and have already proved themselves in the Sideline. The service life is also prolonged by the integrated wiper system and easy lubrication using the integrated lubricating nipples.
As with all ORIGA cylinders, the Basic Guide has adjustable end position cushioning and magnetic pistons, plus end caps that can be rotated through 4 x 90°. The usual options are also available for the Basic Guide, such as integrated 3-way valves, single-side air connection, VITON seals, Niro version and a slow-running version for stick/slip free operation. A range of accessories, such as end cap mountings, mid-section supports and T-slot magnetic switches, complete the Basic Guide suite.
The Basic Guide can be supplied in 25 mm and 32 mm versions and will shortly be available in 40 mm diameter, too with stroke lengths of up to 6,000 mm.
