Parker-Origa GmbH

Silverson has adopted an Origa linear actuator as the lift mechanism on its laboratory scale high shear mixer, replacing a complex chain drive built in-house with an out-of-the-box mechatronic unit. It also acts at a structural member, the 'column' to support the shear drive head above its base.

Today’s mechanical handling systems are expected to deliver high throughput, outstanding reliability and to operate for long periods with a minimum of maintenance. In addition, the space available to accommodate the mechanical components needed to implement transfer, elevator, stop and similar functions is often limited.
