Linear Technology Industry
Robust and precise linear motion for conveying, dosing, mixing and laboratory applications.
Whether material flow, dosing or controlled movement in tight spaces: conveying technology needs adjustments that stay reliable under dust, vibration and changing load as well as in clean, repeatable laboratory or mixing operation. S+R develops electric actuator solutions with suitable protection, sensors, compact design and mechanical reserve.
Typical tasks
Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?
material-flow adjustment
lifting and lowering motion
vessel and lid adjustment on mixers
positioning and laboratory tasks
Requirements
Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.
dust, dirt and vibration
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
forces from low to high
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
end-position monitoring and overload protection
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
compact installation space
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
repeatable series and test states
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
S+R solution route
Project requirements become a robust motion solution.
assess environment, load and switching frequency
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
choose protected or compact design
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
define limit switches, encoder or potentiometer to match the control

Technology building blocks
Proven design principles as a basis for individual solutions.
AP, SP and XP are not a rigid product logic; they are typical ways to build force line, installation space, protection and control.
Application images
Views of assemblies, installation space and real operating environments.
The images show typical tasks in this industry: installation space, interfaces, drive position, mounting and environment become visible directly at the component.
