Linear Technology Industry
Heavy, heat-resistant linear actuators for foundry and steelworks processes.
In foundries and steelworks, reliable actuation determines process safety and availability - under intense heat, dust, slag and high continuous forces. S+R develops electric actuators that work robustly, synchronously and traceably under these conditions.
Typical tasks
Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?
continuous casting and mould adjustment
flaps, slides and slag doors
rolling-mill and feed motion
positioning in hot, dusty environments
Requirements
Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.
intense heat and radiant warmth
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
dust, slag and harsh surroundings
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
high continuous and heavy-duty forces
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
synchronous movement and repeatability
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
long service life and serviceability
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.

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.
