(FAQs)

Q1: Can the Rosboxar 1000 be used in dirty or wet environments?
A: Yes. The Rosboxar 1000 boasts an IP65 ingress protection rating. This means it is completely dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for wash-down environments in food and pharmaceutical processing.

Q2: What is the difference between dynamic and static load capacity?
A: Dynamic Load is the maximum recommended force the actuator can apply while in motion. Static Load is the maximum force it can hold safely when stationary. Exceeding these ratings can lead to premature wear or catastrophic failure.

Q3: Is backlash a concern with the Rosboxar 1000?
A: The Rosboxar 1000 utilizes a pre-loaded ball nut design that minimizes backlash to negligible levels (typically < 0.01mm), ensuring highly precise and repeatable positioning crucial for applications like CNC machining or micro-dispensing.

Q4: How do I select the right motor for my Rosboxar 1000 actuator?
A: Motor selection depends on your application’s required speed, thrust force, and duty cycle. Our calculations below will help determine the necessary torque. Rosboxar provides compatibility charts matching their actuators with recommended servo and stepper motors based on these calculated values.

Q5: What maintenance does the Rosboxar 1000 require?
A: Maintenance is minimal. Primary tasks involve periodically checking for loose mounting bolts and re-lubricating the ball screw at intervals recommended in the manual (e.g., every 1,000 km of travel).

Practical Calculations for System Integration

Properly sizing and selecting an actuator is critical. Here are the key calculations for the Rosboxar 1000.

1. Calculating Required Thrust Force (F)
This is the most critical calculation. The force needed must overcome the process force and friction.
F = F_process + F_friction

• F_process: The force needed for the task (e.g., 2000 N to press a part).
• F_friction: The force to overcome friction in the system. For a load on a surface, F_friction = μ * m * g
  • μ (mu) = coefficient of friction (e.g., 0.3 for steel on steel)
  • m = mass of the load (kg)
  • g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

Example: You need to press with 2000 N and move a 100 kg sled (μ = 0.2).
F_friction = 0.2 * 100 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 196.2 N
Total Thrust F = 2000 N + 196.2 N = 2196.2 N
You would select a Rosboxar 1000 model with a dynamic load rating greater than 2196.2 N.

2. Calculating Linear Speed (V)
The actuator’s speed is determined by the motor’s RPM and the ball screw’s lead.
V (mm/s) = [RPM * Lead (mm/rev)] / 60

• Lead: The linear travel distance per one revolution of the screw.

Example: Your motor runs at 1200 RPM, and the ball screw has a lead of 10 mm.
V = (1200 RPM * 10 mm/rev) / 60 = 200 mm/s
This is within the Rosboxar 1000’s maximum speed specification.

3. Estimating Motor Torque (T)
This torque calculation ensures your motor can provide the necessary force.
T (N.m) = [F * Lead] / (2 * π * η)

• F = Required Thrust Force (N) from Calculation 1.
• Lead = Screw lead in meters (e.g., 0.01 m for a 10mm lead).
• π = Pi (~3.1416)
• η (eta) = Efficiency of the ball screw (typically ~0.9 for a ball screw).

Example: Using our previous force of 2196.2 N and a 10mm (0.01 m) lead screw.
T = (2196.2 N * 0.01 m) / (2 * 3.1416 * 0.9)
T = 21.962 / 5.6547 ≈ 3.88 N.m
You would need a motor capable of delivering at least 3.88 N.m of continuous torque.

4. Duty Cycle Check
A high duty cycle (频繁启停或连续运行) generates heat. Ensure the calculated torque and speed fall within the actuator’s continuous duty region on its performance graph to prevent overheating and ensure a long operational life.
