Actuators

Precise motion control with actuators from MACCON

What is an Actuator?

An actuator is a mechatronic component that converts energy into mechanical motion in order to move or control parts of a system. Depending on the application and mechanical design, an actuator generates linear or rotary motion and therefore forms a central interface between control system and mechanics.

Linear Actuators

MACCON offers a comprehensive portfolio of electric linear actuators for precise and reliable linear motion. Our solutions cover a wide range of applications and can be optimally combined with servo or stepper motor controllers.

Whether for compact motion, high forces or precise positioning – MACCON supplies the right linear actuator in the appropriate size and configuration for your specific application.

Our portfolio includes:

  • Electric rod-style actuators
  • Hybrid stepper motor linear actuators
  • Can-stack stepper motor linear actuators

Linear Motor Axes

We offer a wide selection of linear axes with spindle drives or linear motor drives.

Our portfolio includes:

  • Voice coil motor axes
  • Miniaturized linear motors
  • Linear rail systems

Rotary Tables

MACCON offers iron-core and ironless rotary stages based on direct-drive brushless motor technology. These compact units provide high torque and low-cogging or zero-cogging behavior.

Our portfolio includes:

  • Ironless rotary tables
  • Iron-core rotary tables

Voice Coil Motors

The voice coil motor is the simplest type of electric motor. It consists only of a magnetic housing and a coil.

Thanks to its simple and adaptable design, it offers many advantages, including a high power-to-mass ratio, high acceleration, low to no hysteresis and zero cogging.

Due to their compact size, voice coil motors are used for small, precise applications such as focusing, oscillating systems and mirror tilting.

MACCON offers two series of high-performance voice coil motors:

  • AVM Series
  • AVA Series

In addition, we offer voice coil motors from Geeplus.

The VM Series of voice coil motors was developed for applications that require precise control of short, bidirectional linear movements – for example in medical or optical devices.

Rotary Actuators

Rotary actuators convert electrical energy into rotary motion. They generate torque that is used to rotate, position or adjust mechanical components.

Our portfolio includes rotary actuators from the following partners:

SensoJoint – the sensitive, torque-controlled complete drive

With its patented torque sensors and unique integration and control expertise, Sensodrive has opened a new chapter in robotics for collaborative industrial robots, medical robots and force-feedback solutions.

This market-leading sensor technology is also at the heart of SensoJoint. The ready-to-install complete drive makes the development of sensitive robotic solutions faster and more efficient than ever before.

This unique plug-and-play drive unit “Made in Germany” sets standards not only in terms of performance, precision and quality. Thanks to perfectly matched individual components, SensoJoints are both compact and lightweight and can be optimally integrated into any robotics concept.

Our portfolio includes:

KAH – hollow-shaft rotary actuators

Gearboxes

Suitable gearbox solutions – combined from the portfolios of our partners and matched to your application.

Our portfolio includes gearboxes from the following partners:

  • Leaderdrive
    Strain wave gears – compact, lightweight and backlash-free
  • Harmonic Drive
    The adaptability of Harmonic Drive® gearboxes enables a wide range of applications: whether as a housed gearbox, as a drive with motor and encoder, or as part of customer-specific configurations. The Harmonic Drive® belongs to the group of strain wave gears and is based on three core components: wave generator, circular spline and flexspline.
  • Rehfuss
    Planetary gearboxes
  • Gysin
    Precision planetary gearboxes and worm gearboxes
  • Neugart
    Planetary gearboxes and right-angle gearboxes, precision gearboxes and hygienic-design gearboxes
