Technical specification:
Proper alignment of the sample on the reciprocating holder helps maintain its rated life.
The load factor applied to any reciprocating system is still the main factor determining its rated life.
The reciprocating mechanism can withstand high loads when used within its designed operating conditions. However, the general mechanical principle described below cannot be avoided.
rated life: the total travel distance that 90% of linear guides can reach
X₀ → Maximum X Differential Position
The maximum offset of the load along the X-axis relative to the center of the drive.
This value accounts for the total stroke displacement.
This value accounts for the total stroke displacement.
Y₀ → Maximum Y Differential Position
The maximum offset of the load along the Y-axis relative to the center of the drive.
Load
It depends on the position of the applied force. Refer to the following document for guidance on determining the maximum allowable load per test.
For example, if the X.Position is 0 mm and the stroke is 10 mm, then X₀ = 5 mm.
This information and the maintenance assessment should be taken into consideration during high-load testing procedures.
- Adjustable Stroke length: 0.1-30 mm
- Frequency: 0.1-80 Hz ( 80 Hz @ 1 mm, 60 Hz @ 2 mm, 20 Hz @ 25 mm).
- The maximum allowable frequency is determined by the current stroke length. The respective limits must not be exceeded.
- Some reciprocating drives are not fully covered by this specification, e.g., SPN04316 – up to 15 Hz. Please refer to your packaging list if unsure or unaware of this information, or contact Rtec Support for assistance.
- (Option) LVDT Linear Encoder Range: 25.4 mm (+/- 12.7 mm); Resolution: 1 um
When using the reciprocating system in combination with the LVDT, the stroke length limitation becomes 25.4 mm. The stroke length cannot be accurately measured or guaranteed beyond this value.
