Framo Morat Appoint R.A. Rodriguez as UK Exclusive Representative
R. A. Rodriguez of Letchworth is now responsible for Framo product sales in the UK and Ireland. An agreement, signed at the recent Hanover Fair, allows R. A. Rodriguez to market the full Framo range and call upon the company's extensive manufacturing and assembly capabilities for custom drives.
The Framo range of drive systems includes compact slip-on geared motors, linear actuators and push-pull Linear Chains, all based on modular design principles and customised to suit each application.
The design of the precision chain links in the new Framo Morat LinearChain Actuation Device enables the chain to push as well as pull heavy loads. Their special profile with interlocking fingers at one end enables the chain to roll up for efficient storage in one direction and form a rigid thrust device in the other.
In the magazine the chain is stored spirally within a narrow chamber making LinearChain ideal for applications calling for long strokes where space is at a premium. The device provides high positioning accuracy, constant stroke speed and shock-free motion with no elastic hysteresis under load. It has been designed for a long operational life and minimal maintenance.
LinearChain is available in three basic sizes allowing stroke lengths of up to 5m and a maximum push force of up to 35,000N. Compact drive units for the chain and storage magazines are readily available for all chain sizes from R. A. Rodriguez in the UK.
Applications for LinearChain are wide-ranging but in Europe the product is already being extensively used in pallet and materials handling and in heavy duty loading/unloading systems. Naturally it can be used in combination with other Framo Morat products such as the Compacta slip-on geared motor in robust lifting table systems.
