Improved swivel drive
Now also move larger workpieces
The requirements in terms of performance, design, accuracy and flexible application options were already met by the part-turn actuators of the MSQ series from SMC.
Higher kinetic energies are now possible thanks to optional external shock absorbers. By reducing the height, the manufacturer was able to achieve a smaller installation space, reduce the weight and improve the cycle time; in addition, the adjustment range of the swivel time was extended and the diameter of the hollow shaft increased. Thanks to the addition of external shock absorbers, it is now possible to transport larger workpieces in a small installation space without having to resort to a larger swivel drive. Users save weight, energy and costs. In the case of the new version with external shock absorbers, additional space and weight is saved by eliminating the protruding adjustable stop pins and internal shock absorbers when mounting in the longitudinal direction.
