Linear Actuators cross the Atlantic

Jena Tec has introduced its VT and HD ballscrew-driven linear actuators to Europe. The products are already available in the US where they have been used in military, medical, hydraulic and pneumatic replacement, metal forming and flight simulation applications.

Precision ballscrew manufacturer Jena-Tec has launched a custom nut leadscrew design and manufacturing service for high speed positioning leadscrews, used in light duty applications.
Jena Tec provides ballscrew assemblies and repair services for ballscrews, spindles and linear actuators.
Its HD and VT are for a heavy duty ballscrew drive powered by any motor provided or specified by the customer.
With a heavy steel wall construction, the actuators provide from 17,000 to 178,000N for the HD range or from 1880 to 8900N for the VT range.
The heart of the actuator is powered by the firm's ballscrew assembly.
Sealed chambers extend longevity for the unit along with anti rotation devices and adjustable limit switch positions.
With travel distances up to 1200mm and velocities of 1m/s, the actuators can be customised to fit within existing production line or machine constraints, or to fit a user preference of motor type which can be adapted through the use of spacer plates.
While external cylinders are made with a hard chrome coating for corrosion resistance, special units to operate in food or corrosive environments can also be manufactured to request. For more information on this or other Jena Tec products, call us on +44(0)1623 726010

New Directions for Linear Motion

Jena Tec is pleased to announce the introduction of a new range of high performance linear modules to the UK market to complement its existing range of heavy duty HD & VT linear actuators, precision ground and rolled JT series ballscrews and spindle assemblies.
The new Kinetic range of linear modules is based on the Jena Tec philosophy of providing custom options for linear module length on a quick lead time at a competitive price. 3D models are available on request for customers to evaluate and build into their CAD system design.

The Kinetic range can provide linear motion of over 6metres in length and with a choice of drive system options, both pneumatic, ballscrew, planetary roller screw, belt or high speed linear motor.
The construction uses rugged anodised aluminium extrusions which are designed within a family of sizes enabling Jena Tec to supply a modular system specifically to the customer requirements in terms of drive system, dimensions, accuracy, load capacity and speed requirements. Each range independent of drive system has multi sided T slots to allow the maximum flexibility for fixing units in position.

While this is of benefit to the factory automation and systems designers and builders, it also a key factor to satisfy the requirements of the aftermarket where Jena Tec has made its name in terms of service and performance. Jena Tec are able to offer and match an equivalent unit to replace existing linear actuators of a similar construction.
The most exciting development is the introduction of packaged linear motor modules and digital motor and drive card options which make the Jena Tec Kinetic modules a one stop shop for precision motion systems.

Highly successful in the field of pharmaceutical, medical, electronics and process industries, the Jena Tec Kinetic range provides Designers, Process and Maintenance Engineers with limitless possibilities for improving system performance.
