maxon motors are a central component of each air cushion system. Each aircraft seat is integrated with a maxon motor – a brushless maxon EC45 flat motor – that drives the vane pump of the air cushion. By varying how much air fills the air chambers, passengers can easily switch between firm and soft settings. Electromate supplies EC45 flat motors from maxon motors like those used for air cushion systems in aircraft. ...

Research on Mars has advanced tremendously in the last 20+ years. Precision drives by maxon motors have made an important contribution in these advancements. In four missions by the US space authority NASA, products of the Swiss company have reached the surface of Mars. Data collected during these projects, in part thanks to maxon motors for Mars rovers, bring us closer to the goal of a manned mission to Mars. Additionally, the data gathered from these missions has allowed maxon motors to further improve their products here on Earth.

New machine for one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in the Midwest. The machine was required to fill the correct quantity of pills into each specific container. They preferred a gantry system to move the fill stations into correct position. Early attempts to use a pneumatic solution could not meet the multiple positioning requirements.

For more efficient palletizing, a conveyor manufacturer wanted an electric actuator for indexing with smoother, more predictable motion than the pneumatic cylinders in use. This was integral to the long term goal of eliminating compressed air machines throughout the plant. However, screw-drive electric actuators could not provide the speed and stroke length required.

An automated vaccine delivery and product transfer machine for eggs was using pneumatically driven rod cylinders for the inoculation process. The motion needed to be very smooth to facilitate the inoculation process and a switch to electric motion technology was desired. Although the machine motion was intermittent to facilitate the inoculation and product transfer process, the actuators needed to operate on a continuous basis during each batch run. The machinery was also subjected to a caustic wash down process between each run.

A premier manufacturer of moving stage displays for top tier entertainers designed an overhead lighting device that transforms from a globe into individual petals forming a flower. Each "petal" needed to be actuated independently. The entire structure needed to be as lightweight as possible to attach above the stage in diverse locations and to minimize shipping costs since the display was to be transported globally.

Product Family: Electric
Product Used: GSWA ServoWeld® Actuator
Product Type: Standard
Application Requirements
Force: 1000 to 3000 lbf (4448 to 13,445 N) 10,000,000 welds
Application Description: Resistance spot welding (RSW) chassis
Challenge:
An automotive plant was using a servo actuator with a reverse parallel style motor mount on their RSW chassis to perform spot welding. The actuator/chassis combination resulted in a large footprint and heavy overall weight. The customer wanted a lighter weight and smaller actuator/chassis combination.
Tolomatic Solution:
Tolomatic provided a GSWA44 ServoWeld® Actuator with an integrated servo motor, saving space with its smaller footprint and its lighter weight...
