WOOD DALE, IL - Linear drive units are used in more
and more demanding environments, but customers still demand the normal
lifetime and performance from the products. To meet this demand Danaher
Motion have introduced two new linear actuators to their Movopart range,
part of the Thomson Tollo brand, with enhanced corrosion protection
making them ideal for wash down application.
The new Movopart S1 and S2 additions use stainless steel of
grade BS 3506 A2 or higher to meet the wash down requirements of the
dairy and food industries. Danaher Motion have used stainless steel for
all moving parts, except in the case of bearings where they took
advantage of their experience in bearing production to specify radially
sealed, high performance bearings. Radially sealed offer improved
performance to stainless steel bearings, whilst maintaining corrosion
protection.
The Movopart S1 is screw driven, and available in prism guide
and ball guide models. Typical applications include dairy plants and
other light wash down applications. The Movopart S2 is intended for use
in the toughest chemical environments, with both acid and basic liquids
present. This is facilitated by the use of the more corrosion resistant
A4 stainless steel for all outer fastenings. The S2 is belt driven, and
uses a prism guide. Both the S1 and S2 are available in standard M55,
M75 and M100 sizes.
Linear Motion Systems, as part of Danaher Motion, provides
standard and custom linear bearings, linear guides, ball and lead
screws, gearheads, linear actuators, slides and systems, precision
balls, moulded products, resolvers and feedback devices, brakes and
clutches, AC and DC drives and stepper and servo motors. Its products

medical, industrial, aerospace, and mobile off-highway markets. Its
