Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AFAG from 3G Electric.
What are the key specifications of AFAG electric linear slide modules?
AFAG electric linear slide modules are available with stroke lengths of 50 mm, 100 mm, and 200 mm. They operate on 72V DC (some models below 75V DC) and provide thrust forces from 67 N to 255 N at 100 psi. Maximum payload capacities range from 0.199 kg to 2.6 kg. Attachment grids are offered in 30 mm x 30 mm and 48 mm x 48 mm sizes, with M3, M4, or M6 threaded holes. These modules are designed for precise linear motion in industrial automation, packaging, and material handling applications.
What communication interfaces are available for AFAG rotary modules?
AFAG electric rotary modules, such as the IO-Link model (MPN 50503985), feature an IO-Link communication interface operating at 230.4 kbps. This module includes an LED display for status indication and delivers a maximum idle speed of 716 RPM and a maximum torque of 0.9 N·m. The IO-Link interface allows for parameterization and diagnostics, integrating with modern control systems. Other AFAG rotary modules may offer different interfaces; consult the specific datasheet for details.
What servo controllers does AFAG offer for linear slides?
AFAG provides servo controllers for linear slides, such as the CANopen-type controller (MPN 50419402). This controller operates on 24 to 72V DC and uses a CANopen communication interface. It is used in industrial automation for precise motion control of linear slides in packaging, material handling, and assembly applications. The controller is designed to work with AFAG electric linear slide modules, enabling closed-loop positioning and speed control. For compatibility with specific slide models, refer to the technical documentation.
What is the maximum payload for AFAG electric linear slide modules?
The maximum payload for AFAG electric linear slide modules varies by model. For example, the 100 mm stroke module with 255 N thrust (MPN 50433804) supports up to 1.6 kg, while the 200 mm stroke module with 255 N thrust supports up to 2.6 kg. Smaller modules, such as the 50 mm stroke with 67 N thrust, handle up to 0.5 kg. Payload capacity depends on stroke length, thrust force, and attachment grid size. Always verify the specific model's payload rating to ensure it meets application requirements.
