Video: Timing Belt Cylinder Suitable For Applications In Synchronous Operation And For Position Queries

With the ZR-25 and ZR-40 series, Airtec wants to offer highly resilient, rodless toothed belt cylinders with adjustable sliding guides. According to Airtec, these models are just as suitable for applications in synchronous operation as for position queries. Thanks to the closed profile, which prevents dirt and dust from entering the interior, the cylinders are intended to withstand harsh conditions in the long term. There is a choice of two sizes with piston diameters of 25 mm or 40 mm and connection sizes G1 / 8 or G1 / 4. They can be operated with a working pressure of 1 bar to 8 bar compressed air according to ISO 8573 in a temperature range between –15 ° C and 70 ° C.
According to Airtec, a patented process enables the synchronization of several cylinders. The company manufactures the cylinders in freely selectable stroke lengths up to 4500 mm for the exact dimensioning. The extruded cylinder tube profiles have two chambers that are connected to one another along the entire length by a slot. The pressure chamber is sealed off from the outer chamber by a soft plastic sealing tape. Because the toothed belt attached to the driver is connected to the guide slide in the outer chamber via the deflection roller, dirt is kept away from the sealing tape. Two or more slides can be connected to the toothed belt to accommodate higher loads or to move components in parallel. Airtec also offers the cylinders with the brake mounted on the output shaft,that makes an energy supply chain for brake control superfluous. The additional equipment with a rotary encoder should enable the cylinder to be implemented as a cost-effective linear positioning system. (sh)
