Manufactured in the U.S.A., THK's Latest Actuator Type GL-N Offers Dramatic Improvements over All Actuators Schaumburg, IL - Made in the U.S.A. THK's new Linear Actuator Type GL-N offers a newly engineered enhancement to offer the best of all linear actuator features with the unique benefits of Caged Technology in one actuator.
The new GL-N actuator is firm, definite, accessible for fast conveyance, and is likewise a redesign and direct substitution to the original Type GL. Utilizing not one, but two confined ball type LM directs (the Type SSR and the Type SHS), the Type GL-N is a power to be dealt with. This new structure brings about load capacity 200% higher than that of THK's original Type GL. Also, without metal-to-metal contact, the Type GL-N can arrive at speeds up to multiple times quicker than standard sorts (at 5m/sec, and increasing velocities over 5Gs). Caged Technology noise levels have been demonstrated to be decreased by up to 15 dBA. Other Type GL-N profits by Caged Technology incorporate life cycle increments of multiple times just as a remarkable smooth and accurate movement. THK's Caged Technology utilizes a synthetic resin cage with a patented curvature that holds each ball and separates it from the following. The spaces between the rolling components hold oil and go about as a lubrication system for long-term, maintenance-free activity. Caged Technology benefits, and the Type GL-N's lightweight, yet rigid construction because of the strong aluminum expulsion base, bring about a high performance-to-cost ratio.
Another benefit of this linear actuator is increased load capacities due to the inclusion of four raceways, rather than two. The Type GL-N is outfitted with industry-standard engine mounts for effortless integration. Metric mounting holes are standard - inch mounting holes that are accessible on-demand at no extra expense. The mounting hole pattern is ISO standard.
The Type GL-N standard lengths extend to 3 meters and custom lengths are accessible. THK offers two forms of the Type GL-N: ball screw driven and belt-driven. The ball screw type is furnished with a QZ Lubricator, supplementing the long term, support free activity of the Caged LM Guide. Discretionary frill for the Type GL-N incorporates a QZ Lubricator for LM Guides, a LaCS Scraper available for harsh environments and bellows covers.
