Industry

Custom electric actuators for machines that need reliable motion.

When force, stroke, speed and installation space do not fit neatly together, a simple adjustment becomes an engineering task. S+R sizes electric actuators so they fit the machine mechanically, electrically and commercially.

Typical tasks

Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?

Task

format adjustment

Task

flaps and slides

Task

clamping and pressing motion

Task

handling axes

Task

retrofit of existing machines

Requirements

Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.

repeatable positioning

This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.

short cycle times

This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.

limited installation space

This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.

defined interfaces

This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.

traceable spare-part supply

This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.

S+R solution route

Project requirements become a robust motion solution.

01

check load case and interface

The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.

02

select AP, SP or XP as design principle

The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.

03

adapt motor, spindle, sensors and mounting

The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.

04

provide testing and documentation for series or project use

The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.

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.
