Linear Actuator KSF in Compact Design and CKSF for Clean Room Applications
THK is expanding its already unrivaled range of linear actuators with the addition of the compact KSF series and the cleanroom-compatible CKSF series.
Illustration 1: Compact KSF linear actuator in open design, with cover plate, and in enclosed design
The KSF linear actuator is an extremely compact and lightweight drive unit, designed for high speeds of up to 2.5 m/s and accelerations of up to 4 G. This is achieved through a ball screw drive with a large lead, it is integrated together with the linear guide into a high-rigidity and high-precision U-profile, which functions as the outer guide. The KSF series is also available in an enclosed version, offering protection against external particles and allowing stroke lengths of up to 1500 mm.
Illustration 2: Cleanroom-compatible CKSF linear actuator with suction ports
The cleanroom-compatible CKSF linear actuator is based on the core design of the KSF series, but meets cleanroom compatibility in accordance with ISO 14644-1 Class 4. Its fully enclosed structure, along with suction ports and a cover strip where the surface makes no contact, limits dust generation.
Illustration 3: Magnets prevent the lifting of the cover strip and thus the release of foreign particles into the environment
The CKSF series is available in five sizes and offers stroke lengths of up to 1500 mm with a maximum speed of 2.5 m/s.
