Automated sorting systems place high demands on the drives installed in them: They have to be extremely fast and work precisely. The linear direct drives of the SVTL series from Servotecnica offer the required properties and also impress with their extremely compact tubular design.
The SVTL linear drives from Servotecnica therefore meet the requirements of fully automated sorting processes, for example in the areas of logistics and packaging. The direct drives of the SVTL series are also used in demanding industries such as food processing, chemicals, recycling and waste management, mining and the plastics industry. They have proven themselves many times over as long-lasting and robust drive solutions.
The two series SVTL S and SVTL Iare available , the latter with an integrated PLC. Both are an alternative to a pneumatic actuator: thanks to their narrow, compact design, they also fit into small spaces, such as those typical for a pneumatic cylinder. Compact and slim design – also with integrated electronics The SVTL drive series is based on a brushless direct drive. The linear movement is created by the coil inside the actuator and by magnets in the rod. The miniature linear motor consists of a three-phase low voltage winding, an integrated SIN/COS 1 Vpp encoder and a stainless steel (AISI 304) spindle.
The length of the spindle or shaft can be adjusted according to the respective application and the magnetic pitch. Versions with radial or axial cable output are available, and a linear guide and a holding brake are also available as options. Both series share the same housings with identical compact dimensions. However, linear drives of the SVTL I series have an integrated programmable logic controller (PLC) inside: It enables digital inputs and outputs to control the linear movement even in stand-alone mode, is designed for operation with low voltage (24 – 48 V) and has a Modbus RTU interface With the compact direct drives of the SVTL series, Servotecnica offers a versatile solution. What is typical for the company is that the standard models can always be customized to a high degree to individual customer requirements.
