YAMAHA GF type Long stroke, High payload Pricing & Product Details

Yamaha's GF type is a high-performance linear actuator that features a long stroke length of 750 to 2500mm and a maximum payload of 90kg. This linear actuator is designed to provide maximum velocity throughout the full range of stroke, without any speed deration. The actuator is capable of a maximum speed of 1200mm/sec and has a repeatability of +/- 0.01mm.

One of the key features of the GF type linear actuator is its multiple "optimal supports" that eliminate speed deration. Yamaha has implemented these optimal supports at multiple points to ensure optimal ball screw support, providing a stable and reliable linear motion. The optimal supports have been patented, showcasing Yamaha's dedication to innovation and technology.

The GF type linear actuator is suitable for various industrial applications that require high precision, speed, and a large payload capacity. For example, it can be used in the automotive industry for welding, painting, and assembly processes. It can also be used in the semiconductor industry for wafer transfer and inspection systems. The GF type linear actuator's excellent performance and reliability make it a versatile and valuable addition to any industrial automation system.

4-row circular arc groove type 2-point contact guide that is resistant to large moment load is adopted.

4-row circular arc groove type 2-point contact guide with less differential slip is used for the linear guide. This guide has less ball differential slip due to its structure when compared to the 2-row Gothic arch type 4-point contact guide and maintains a satisfactory rolling movement even if a large moment load is applied or the installation surface precision is poor. The guide has characteristics that are difficult to malfunction, such as unusual wear and provides excellent reliability.

●F/N/B type

For the F type, N type, and B type, two guide frames are laid out on the high rigidity aluminum extruded material frame. Two bearing units per rail, four bearing units in total, support a large load firmly. As a large moment load is mainly converted into vertical force, the moment applied to one bearing unit becomes small to ensure excellent durability.

●F8 series

The F8 series uses a newly developed module guide to greatly reduce the crosssectional area (70 % when compared to F10). The rail is laid out in the full width of the frame to ensure the high rigidity even with compact design. Of course, this series also uses the 4-row circular arc groove type 2-point contact guide.

Note 2. Except for F8 series/F10/B10.

Resolver with excellent environment resistance is used for the position detector.

A resolver is used for the position detector. The resolver has a simple and rigid structure without using electronic components and optical elements. Detection problems due to electronic component breakdown, dew condensation on or oil sticking to the disk that may occur in optical encoders do not occur in the resolver. The resolver provides excellent durability. Additionally, as the absolute specifications and incremental specifications use the same mechanical specifications and common controller, desired specifications can be selected only by setting parameters. Furthermore, even when the absolute battery is consumed completely, the robot can still operate as the incremental specifications. So, even if a trouble occurs, the line stop is not needed to ensure the safe production line. Furthermore, the backup circuit has been completely renovated and now has a backup period of one year in the non-energizing state.

Long service life greatly reduces the maintenance cost.

As the acceleration is determined by the weight parameter, the service life can be assured when the weight and position of center of gravity are known.

YAMAHA's robot uses high rigidity ball screw or guide, it provides excellent durability. This greatly contributes to reduction of the customer's maintenance cost.

Controllers suitable for applications are prepared.

In addition to the robot program operation and pulse train control, a positioner that is operated by specifying a point number was added to the product lineup. Additionally, multi specifications that control multiple robots using one controller are also supported. You can select an optimal controller suitable for your application.
