What you need to know to specify Integrated Actuators in industrial applications

Integrated Actuators are rated for a1-ton static thrust capacity. Selection of the best actuator for the application may require further consideration.

1. First determine the magnitude of load to be moved and the desired travel speed. Integrated Actuators are designed for most often driven by electric motors mounted directly to the NEMA 56C motor mount. Horsepower requirements are based on travels peed of dynamic load.

2. Contact a Joyce application engineer if your travel distance is greater than 24”.

3. Four Integrated actuator product variations are available.

IA – features a single lead acme screw. This option is self-locking in the absence of vibration

DIA – features a double lead acme screw. Faster travel speeds, not self-locking

BIA – features a ball screw. Equal loads require less horsepower than acme version, requires a brake motor

HBIA – features a high-lead ball screw. Achieves fastest travel speed for product category

4 Two integrated actuator designs are available.

Translating tube (IA/DIA -TT or BIA/HBIA - TT) actuators are most commonly used. The load attaches to the clevis end, which extends (translates) in and out.

Traveling Nut (IA/DIA-TN, or BIA/HBIA-TN) actuators are designed with a fixed-length, rotating screw with a traveling nut. The load is attached to the traveling nut.

5. How frequently will the jack need to move the load? Integrated actuators are not designed for continuous use. Duty cycles should include a period of rest.

6. Limit switches, mounting brackets, ring encoders and special finishes are available for Integrated Actuators.

7. Standard motors have 56C frames and 230 volts, 3 phase, 60 hertz, but you may specify voltage, horsepower, and frequency needed for your application.

Where are integrated Actuators used?

Integrated Actuators are versatile and used widely throughout industry. Mount virtually any voltage, or frequency motor to the 56C motor mount. Application examples include: Gate openers, Damper adjustments, Conveyor adjustments, Platform lifts, Ergonomic lifts, Packaging equipment, Door openers.
