mk Automation, Inc. announced the new Parallel Actuator designed for linear
raising and lowering of loads within conveyor systems, providing parallel, right
angle or directional load transfer capabilities to suit varying precision
transfer requirements. Installed horizontally to minimize required assembly
space, compact design permits easy integration to existing equipment or
specified for OEM applications, such as roller conveyor, box conveyor, pallet
conveyor and more. The unit operates on air pressure of 90 PSI and features
mechanical linkages to translate the horizontal cylinder force into vertical
stroke. The cushioned cylinder stroke helps ensure smooth actuator operation for
lift and lowering operations. Model PHM-1 20 offers load capacity up to 44 lbs.
while Model PHM-A 20 handles loads up to 220 lbs. The vertical lift is up to
3/4". End plates guide the vertical travel while T-slots of the structural
aluminum profiles eliminate the need for special mounting plates. The use of mk
structural profiles allows for lengths from 400mm to 1,500mm, with longer
lengths up to 5m available upon request. Travel time is 1.5 seconds, cycle times
is 4 seconds.
