Steel-structure linear actuators from the global industrial supplier Rollon Group are highly suitable for demanding applications in numerous automation environments. These are large multi-axis motion systems for feeder, gantry, manipulator, and other long-stroke installations featuring hollow square-steel beams for structural elements. This is a different solution to the more common use of actuators based on aluminum profiles.
To put a finer point on this, both steel actuators and traditional actuators based on aluminum profiles feature various steel subcomponents for both their guiding systems and driving systems. The two different designs diverge in their base structure, one being a steel frame and the other being aluminum profiles.
As we’ll explore in this white paper, steel-structure actuators excel in industrial machinery, automotive production, aerospace and bespoke industrial automation applications. The inherent strength of the steel beams also imparts load capacities and self-supporting capabilities that are higher than options constructed of other materials.
How steel construction boosts performance
Steel linear actuators are robust and durable for heavy-duty uses involving high loads, self-supporting needs, ease of installation and harsh conditions — and offer other benefits as well.
Steel-structure actuators can be designed with relatively large unsupported spans. Shown here is one example having a relatively modest seven-meter stroke.
