Non-contact power and data transmission

In machines and equipment, there are many instances where using a wired and cabled connection just doesn't work effectively. More and more, sensors and other feedback devices need to be mounted on a moving part and hardwired connections are not a viable option. 

Whether it is a rotating table, moving pallet, punches & presses, or a robot's end of arm tooling, connections need to be made. Balluff offers a tried and true non-contact connection solution for these hard to solve applications. By using these simple non-contact connectors in your application, the equipment can be more flexible and provide reliable sensor data across a difficult connection location.

Inductive coupling enables transfer of power and data over a small air gap. This technology is extremely useful in applications where cables or wiring is difficult or data transfer needs to be carried out across a barrier (wall, or plexi-glass), or even for applications to replace mechanical slip-rings.

"U" shaped guide rails offer high rigidity

The NB ACTUATOR is a compact single axis linear actuator which integrates a slide guide and precision ball screw. BG type linear actuators offer compact dimensions and outperforms conventional positioning tables. This is made possible by a unique "U" shaped guide rail and slide block which provides multiple functions of a guide block and a ball screw nut combined into a single unit.

The "U" shaped guide rail offers high rigidity against bending moment. This structural feature allows for integrated framework of machinery or equipment and can be cantilevered. Additionally, the slide block contains 4 ball circuits which delivers high load capacity, high accuracy and high rigidity. The integration of the slide guide and precision ball screw eliminates complex precision adjustment and reduces installation time dramatically.
