Technology
High speed horizontal transfer of heavy loads
SERAPID’s Linear Beam Actuator is a horizontal actuator with the magazine built into the design, optimized to move very heavy loads long distances at high speeds.
The SERAPID LinearBeam is a versatile mechanical actuator designed specifically for efficient transfer and handling of heavy loads. One of its standout features is the renowned rigid-chain technology developed by SERAPID, which has gained widespread recognition for its reliability and effectiveness. The rigid chain comprises interlocking links that propel the load forward with the strength of a solid bar, while remaining flexible in the opposite direction during retraction.
In the LinearBeam system, the chain is cleverly redirected by 180°, allowing the returning portion to be stored parallel to the transfer path. This innovative design enables double utilization of the available footprint space, making installation a breeze even in restricted and challenging environments. With its purely mechanical nature, the LinearBeam guarantees high dependability and a long lifespan. Moreover, it boasts an impressive energy efficiency rating of 80 to 90 percent, making it an environmentally and economically sustainable investment.
To cater to your specific requirements, we offer a comprehensive selection of options for customizing the LinearBeam. Additionally, we provide special versions capable of operating in harsh environments or enduring heavy-duty, high-cycle conditions. With the LinearBeam series, you can confidently tackle demanding load transfer tasks while maximizing space, efficiency, and durability.
