Tolomatic: IMA Integrated Linear Servo Actuator

March 19, 2013
The IMA integrated linear servo actuator is available with additional ball screw offerings that reportedly increase the speed range from 24 inches per second (610 mm/sec) to 58 inches per second (1,473 mm/sec).

The IMA is CE/UL approved and suitable for press fitting systems, valve and process control, spot welding, and fluid dispensing. It is available with food-grade white epoxy coating and stainless steel components. It integrates a servo motor into a ball or roller screw-driven actuator. The IMA55 servo linear actuator with roller screw option reportedly increases thrust capability to 6,875 pounds force (30,470 N). The design eliminates the need for couplers, adapters, belts and gears. Available in four sizes, the IMA line of integrated-motor rod actuators features stroke lengths from three to 18 inches (76.2 to 457.2 mm).
