When working with delicate materials such as Silicone wafers, magnetic
disks, or LCD substrates, non-shock actuation must be balanced with
high speed/throughput. The REA provides the features needed to allow
rapid transfer with a speed of up to 300mm/sec but virtually eliminates
shock impact. Integrated cushion spears allow smooth acceleration and
deceleration, while also simplifying construction of the cylinder.
Based on the magnetically coupled cylinder concept, the REA’s resulting
smooth acceleration and deceleration occurs without influence from
load, speed, or even pressure fluctuations. REA is available in 5 bore
sizes from 25mm to 63mm and strokes up to 1000mm
