IMA-S Stainless Steel Servo Motor Actuator
Hygienic servo actuators for the most demanding food and beverage applications
The IMA-S is a hygienically designed integrated electric servo actuator for the food and beverage processing industry. The IP69K rated design features a 316 stainless steel construction, hygienic fasteners and cord grips, ideal for effective cleaning.
- 2 body sizes with built-to-order stroke lengths and mounting options
- Forces up to 2,500 lbf (11.1 kN)
- Stroke lengths up to 18 inches (457 mm)
- Standard internal anti-rotate thrust rod option available
- IP69K standard protection against high pressure washdown
IMA-S: Hygienic Integrated Servo Actuator Features
The efficient, corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel design of the IMA-S hygienic integrated servo motor actuator is power dense, and features:
- Skewed winding to minimizing cogging torque for smooth, repeatable motion
- A low electric time constraint motor for quick response
- Welded, polished joints to create exceptionally hygienic seams
- Chemically inert, wear resistant blue gaskets and o-rings
- Flexible feedback and cable options including single (DSL) and dual cable
- An FDA-approved field replaceable seal cartridge that is IP69K rated for wash-down protection
