Drives for automated sorting systems are confronted with special requirements and must work particularly quickly and precisely. Servotecnica offers linear drives from the SVTL series in a tubular design. 

The SVTL linear actuators from Servotecnica therefore meet the requirements of fully automated sorting processes in areas such as logistics and packaging. They are also used in demanding sectors such as food processing, chemicals, recycling and waste management, mining and also in the plastics industry, the direct drives of the SVTL for use. They have proven themselves many times over as durable and robust drive solutions.

The two series SVTL S and SVTL I are available, the latter with an integrated PLC. Both are suitable as Alternative for a pneumatic actuator on: Thanks to their narrow, compact design, they also fit into small spaces, as is usual for a pneumatic cylinder.

The SVTL drive series is based on a brushless direct drive. The linear movement is generated by the coil inside the drive and by magnets in the rod. The miniature linear motor consists of a three-phase low-voltage winding, an integrated SIN/COS 1 Vpp encoder and a spindle made of stainless steel (AISI 304). The length of the spindle or shaft can be customised according to the application and magnetic pitch. There are Versions with radial or axial cable outlet A linear guide and a holding brake are also available as options.

Both series share the same housing with identical compact dimensions. However, linear actuators from the SVTL I series have Inside an integrated programmable logic controller (PLC): It enables digital inputs and outputs to control the linear movement even in stand-alone mode, is designed for operation with low voltage (24 - 48 V) and has a Modbus RTU interface. With the compact direct drives of the SVTL series, Servotecnica offers a versatile solution. A typical feature of the company is that the standard models can always be customised to a high degree to meet individual customer requirements.
