The Akribis DGL series is a range of modular direct drive linear slides.The DGL utilises the Akribis range of ironless and iron core motors along with encoder feedback and dual linear bearing guides in an aluminium housing to form a compact, high performance stage.
The linear motors used in the DGL are the Akribis patented AUM series ironless linear motor or the AJM and AKM series iron core linear motor.
The AUM linear motor is cogging free, lightweight, with zero attraction force allowing for precise position and velocity control applications such as scanning.
The AJM and AKM linear motors are iron core, suitable for point-to-point motion and provide a more cost-effective solution.
Whichever motor option you chose, excellent force to size ration and precise homing is standard.
The DGL series is available in range of body widths: 150mm, 180mm, 200mm and 260mm with useable strokes between 100mm to 1200mm in 100m increments
Options:
- Encoder type
- Housing finish
- Ironcore or ironless linear motor
- Flying leads or DSUB termination
In addition to the standard DGL range, the motor stages can be customised in a variety of ways to suit OEMs and repeat customers.
Possibilities include:
- Ingress protection including alternative covers and bellows.
- Lengths up to 40M
- Cleanroom compatibility.
- Stacked stage assemblies to achieve multiple degrees of freedom such as gantry robot or XY theta stage. Combinations of linear and rotary are possible
- Compact high force versions
- Multiple carriages: Linear motor drive technology allows for multiple carriages along the same axis with the capability to move independently of each other.
