NiLAB Linear Motors
Miniature Linear Motor for pharmaceutical and medical industry
The compact linear motors of NiLAB are, because of their performance and finishing, a complete solution for the pharmaceutical, medical and general machine-industry. This NLH-series is valued for its compactness with flange dimensions starting at 15x34mm up until 35x63mm. The linear motor is composed of a high performance three phase winding, an integrated encoder SIN/COS 1Vpp and a rod in AISI 304 stainless steel. The NLH series, composed of 6 different types, has an excellent performance and dimension ratio. The force range starts from 0,6 N up to 20 N of continuous force with peak forces 6 times these values. The standard power supply of the drive is 24/48 VDC.
The most important factor that makes this series of motors interesting for the food- and pharmaceutical industry, is the finishing with the G.H.A.®-coating. This is one of the most advanced and innovative technologies used for the treatment of aluminum alloys. The surface of the aluminum alloy is first treated by anodic oxidation with a thickness of 10 to 200μ, followed by a seal of the micro pores of silver ions (Ag+). Anodic oxidation is the most appropriate, protective treatment for aluminum alloys, because this can’t be removed. The G.H.A.®- process (Golden anodized) is patented (patent EP1207220).
The advantages of G.H.A.® treatment
- Highest corrosion resistance
- High antibacterial- and anti-fungal performance (bactericidal)
- Anti-static
- High thermal conductivity
- High heat resistance
- High abrasion resistance and hardness (500-600 HV)
- Suitable for direct contact with food
Aluminum alloys with G.H.A.®-treatment are in most cases an excellent alternative to expensive alloys such as titanium alloys or stainless steel. The motors of the NLH-series, with the innovative G.H.A.®-coating are very interesting to use in the food- and pharmaceutic industries.
