The SVTL linear actuators from Servotecnica therefore meet the requirements of fully automated sorting processes in areas such as logistics and packaging. The direct drives from the SVTL series are also used in demanding sectors such as food processing, chemicals, recycling and waste management, mining and the plastics industry. They have proven themselves many times over as durable and robust drive solutions.

The two series SVTL S and SVTL I are available, the latter with an integrated PLC. Both are ideal as an alternative to a pneumatic actuator: Thanks to their slim, compact design, they also fit into small spaces, as is usual for a pneumatic cylinder.

Compact and slim design - also with integrated electronics

The SVTL drive series is based on a brushless direct drive. The linear movement is generated by the coil inside the drive and by magnets in the rod. The miniature linear motor consists of a three-phase low-voltage winding, an integrated SIN/COS 1 Vpp encoder and a spindle made of stainless steel (AISI 304). The length of the spindle or shaft can be adapted to the respective application and magnetic pitch. Versions with radial or axial cable outlet are available, and a linear guide and holding brake are also available as options.

Both series share the same housing with identical compact dimensions. However, linear actuators from the SVTL I series have an integrated programmable logic controller (PLC) inside: it enables digital inputs and outputs to control the linear movement even in stand-alone mode, is designed for operation with low voltage (24 - 48 V) and has a Modbus RTU interface.

With the compact direct drives of the SVTL series, Servotecnica offers a versatile solution. A typical feature of the company is that the standard models can always be adapted to a high degree to individual customer requirements.
