Linear Technology Industry
Compatible replacement solutions when older drives are no longer available.
Maintenance teams need fast, sound decisions: repair, replace or improve. S+R assesses old units, interfaces and the application to develop compatible retrofit solutions.
Typical tasks
Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?
repair assessment
adaptation to existing mounting points
sensor modernization
spare-part concepts
Requirements
Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.
short downtime
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
mechanical compatibility
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
electrical interface
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
documentation
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
commercially sensible decision
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
S+R solution route
Project requirements become a robust motion solution.
evaluate nameplate, photo and drawing
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
check condition and repairability
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
compare retrofit and new actuator
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
document interface and connection clearly
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.
