Application
Dispensing and pressing chocolate truffles.
The Challenge
Accommodating high-duty processing and high product output.
The Solution
Olsen’s solution was to select an Exlar I Series roller screw actuator to accommodate the high load. With a quick stroke rate, the load was moved and positioned vertically in the machine at the required speed. The high dynamic load rating of the roller screw actuator measured 2x greater than a comparable ball screw and the life is nearly 10x higher. Exlar’s roller screw actuator was the perfect match for this high duty application!
Results
- Millions of cycles without re-lubrication or maintenance
- Roller screws offer up to 15 times longer life than ball screws
- Less noise than other motion technologies
- Smooth motion
- Less energy consumption than fluid power with electric actuation
- Accurate and repeatable positioning
- Wide variety of mounting styles
- High cycle rates
- Multiple stroke lengths
