12. Harmonic Linear Drive (HLD)
Goes Where Others Can’t!
• Stroke lengths over 3
meters available
• Custom lengths
available in 1mm
increments Apply as you would
• Rated speed does not a traditional
drop off as stroke length ballscrew without
increases concerns of critical
speed limits on long
stroke!

13. Harmonic Linear Drive (HLD)
Internal Rollers Type
• Fully supported by
internal roller wheels
• Smallest profile
• Used in specific
applications
only, limited loading
and moment capability

14. Harmonic Linear Drive (HLD)
Single Rail Type
• Higher load capacities and
moment load capabilities
• 2x Self-Lubricating, sealed
bearing blocks, suitable for
dirty environments
• Standard for most apps

15. Harmonic Linear Drive (HLD)
Dual Rail Type
• Most robust unit; highest load capacities and
moment loading capabilities
• 4x Self-lubricating sealed bearing blocks can handle
dirt and dust
• C-Channel carriage for maximum configurability

Belt Drives (w/gear head) OK $$$
Rack & Pinion OK $$

21. Harmonic Linear Drive (HLD)
Ideal applications
• Long-stroke Medium to High Speed applications
• Medium to High Thrust applications
• Wherever High Stiffness (in direction of travel) is needed
• Where ball-screws cost too much
• In vertical loads where back-drive is a problem
• In tight holding applications such as:
• Back-stop gauges
• Material saw stop jigs
• Long-stroke high thrust gantries

Part Numbering Scheme
H3-<STROKE>-<PITCH><RAIL>-<MOTOR>-<OPTION>
• H3 – HLD designator
• STROKE – from 112mm to 3200mm!
• PITCH – in mm/rev
• RAIL – A, B, E for none, single, or dual rail respectively
• MOTOR – SM23165DT standard, others available
• OPTION – Coded for communications, orientations, etc.

23. L70 Single-Rail Ballscrew

24. L70 Single Rail Ballscrew
Key Features
• 5mm or 10mm /rev Ball-Screw
• Up to 600mm Stroke
• Up to 200N Dynamic Thrust Load
• Maximum Stroke to Total-Length Ratio

X-Y configuration L70 XY-Demo Kit
with SM23165Ds

26. L70 Single Rail Ballscrew
Competative Analysis
• Note: Although there are similar sized
Ball-Screw Actuators, due to the
mounting flexibility and open side, the
L70 stands on its own as a viable
alternative to conventional open
framed Actuators.
• The open side makes it completely
unique in the market
• Actuators comparable in cross-section
are typically machined rail-body types
with far less moment loading or thrust
ratings

27. XL100 Dual Rail Ballscrew

28. XL100 Dual Rail Ballscrew
Feature Overview
• 5mm or 10mm Ball-Screw
• Up to 600mm Stroke
• Up to 200N Dynamic Thrust Load
• Easy Mounting “Waist” Access Holes
• Wide Dual Rail Support for High Moment Loading
• Directly Stackable in X-Y Configuration
• Up to 6 Limit Switches

29. XL100 Dual Rail Ballscrew

SM23375Ds

30. XL100 Dual Rail Ballscrew

31. XL100 Dual Rail Ballscrew
Competitive Analysis
• More robust- Higher moment capability compared to L70
• Closed frame
• Highest accuracy & repeatability of ballscrew line
• The XL100 has the appearance of a precision stage and
yet has the price of a conventional Actuator.
• Note: XL100 does not have the high flatness/straightness
specs of a true linear stage. It is an actuator.
