DRL Series

This is the birth of the DRL Series, providing short-stroke
linear motion and high-precision positioning with immediate
stops and no vibration.
This product integrates a stepper motor with a ball screw to achieve linear motion.
Two types of drivers are available, a pulse input type, and a highly functional built-in
controller type that supports FLEX and increases system configuration flexibility.
Performance is improved by reducing the number of components such as couplings to make
equipment more compact and by utilizing high-precision positioning technology.
Compact Linear Actuators
DRL Series
FLEX is a general term for products supporting I/O
control, Modbus (RTU) control and FA network control
via a network converter.
These products enable simple connection and simple
control, shortening the total lead time for system
configuration.

Signicantly Reduced
Man-Hours and Time
Required for Design
The compact body houses the entire linear motion
mechanism.
The use of conventional internally-produced parts
is no longer required, thus reducing the time for
equipment design and parts selection. Moreover,
this reduces the time required for assembly and
installation accuracy adjustment and increases your
production efciency.
More Compact and
Lightweight Equipment
A structure with a hollowed-out rotor is featured, with
the ball screw stored inside.
Since the coupling, ball screw bearing, and other
parts you provide yourself
are no longer required, a
more compact and lightweight equipment is achieved.
Reasonable Price
While achieving signicant improvements in
performance, the actuator is offered at a reasonable
price.

Hollow Rotor

Ball Screw Nut
Internal Structure
The DRL Series features a structure in which the rotor is
hollowed out and the ball screw is stored inside. The rotation of
the hollow rotor rotates the ball screw nut and by setting up an
anti-spin mechanism✽on the tip of the ball screw, the ball screw
shaft is moved in a linear manner.
There are two types of ball screws: the ground ball screw for fine
feed and high-precision positioning and the rolled ball screw
which is reliable for ordinary positioning.
Because the ball screw shaft is stored in the hollow rotor section,
the maximum stroke is secured with the shortest overall length.
Also, a large bore bearing is positioned on the outer
circumference of the ball screw nut in order to directly receive the
large thrust loads generated in linear motion.
✽ Not necessary for the guide type and table type.
Actuator Features
A stepper motor is used
that stops immediately
and without vibration.
The DRL Series uses stepper motors.
Because this is a stepper motor, the positioning
precision per step is high and the motor can be
moved forward and back accurately.
Also, since the fine movement of the shaft (called
hunting) does not occur when stopping, the stop
position can be held correctly.
High Positioning Accuracy
The ball screw nut is linked with the hollow rotor.
Through the coupling rigidity and other aspects of parts
combination, the impact of backlash has been minimized,
achieving high-precision positioning.
No hunting.

Typical Applications
For other applications, refer
to Page 11.
[X-Y table] [Focusing drive for a camera]
✽ Use the electromagnetic
brake type for
vertical direction drive.
[Spectrometer]
With Adjusting Knob
Applications The X-Y stage position can be
finely adjusted/moved when the
power is OFF.
The load position can be adjusted manually
when the power is OFF.
This function is useful during maintenance of
the equipment.
Electromagnetic Brake Type
Applications Used to hold the CCD
camera's Z-position
when the power is OFF.
The load position can be held when the power
is OFF.
Since the load will not fall in the event of a
power failure or disconnection, you can safely
use equipment in which the load moves at
vertical direction.
The standard type DRL28, DRL42,
and DRL60 are also available with a
long stroke.
 Additional Functions
Each type is available with an "electromagnetic brake" or "adjusting knob" as additional functions.

Driver Features [1]
2 Driver Types Selectable by System Conguration
For the DRL Series driver, you can select from 2 driver types according to your host system.
Built-In Controller Type
 Connecting Method
①I/O
Because the positioning unit (pulse generator) function is built in to the driver, you can build an operation system using I/O by directly
connecting to a switch box or PLC. Because a positioning unit is not necessary on the PLC side, space is saved and the system is simplified.
②Modbus (RTU)/RS-485 ③ Industrial Network
Operating data and parameters can be set and operation commands can be input using RS-485
communication.
Up to 31 drivers can be connected to each serial communication unit.
Also, there is a function that enables the simultaneous start of multiple axes. The protocol supports
Modbus (RTU), enabling connection with devices such as touch-screen panel computers and PCs.
Using a network converter (sold separately) enables support
with EtherCAT communication, CC-Link communication,
and MECHATROLINK communication. Operating data and
parameters can be set and operation commands can be
input using various communication methods.
Example of Using PLC and a Touch Screen
Normally, the actuator is started and stopped with I/O.
Changing the operating data settings and displaying the monitors and alarms
is performed with the touch screen using Modbus (RTU) communication.
When there is a lot of setup work, changes can be easily performed on the
touch screen, and the burden of creating ladders is reduced.
Example of Using PLC
When using PLC, you can build an operation system by
connecting directly to an I/O unit. Because a positioning unit is
not necessary on the PLC side, space is saved and the system
is simplified.
Example of Using a Switch Box
Because operating data is set in the driver, the actuator can be
started and stopped simply by connecting a switch you have on
hand. Control can be performed easily without using PLC.

 System Configuration
Because the driver has the information necessary for actuator operation, the burden on the host PLC is reduced.
The system conguration when using multi-axis control has been simplied.
Settings are congured using a control module (sold separately), data setting software or RS-485 communication.
 Operation Types
In the built-in controller type, the operating speed and traveling amount of the actuator are set with operating data, and operation
is performed according to the selected operating data.

✽1 Sixteen resolutions can be set.
✽2 When the power is turned off, or when in an all windings off situation, the actuator loses its thrust force or holding force. As such, it can no longer keep the load in position or withstand an external
force.
✽3 The max. thrust force is measured during constant-speed operation in the horizontal direction with no load applied to the moving parts (screw shaft and joint).
Thrust force varies with load mass and acceleration.
✽4 The maximum holding force at excitation is the value when the automatic current cutback function is ON (Standstill Current: 50% of the rated current). The holding force is 0 when the power is OFF.
✽5 Use the actuator at a maximum speed of 13 mm/s for the operating temperature range of 0 to 10˚C.
Note

✽1 Sixteen resolutions can be set.
✽2 When the power is turned off, or when in an all windings off situation, the actuator loses its thrust force or holding force. As such, it can no longer keep the load in position or withstand an external
force.
✽3 The max. thrust force is measured during constant-speed operation in the horizontal direction with no load applied to the moving parts (screw shaft and joint).
Thrust force varies with load mass and acceleration.
✽4 The maximum holding force at excitation is the value when the automatic current cutback function is ON (Standstill Current: 50% of the rated current). The holding force is 0 when the power is OFF.
✽5 Use the actuator at a max. speed of 15 mm/s for the operating temperature range of 0 to 10˚C and at a max. speed of 24 mm/s for temperatures above 10˚C but no greater than 15˚C.
Use a maximum speed of 12 mm/s for the operating temperature range of 0 to 10˚C for a high-resolution stepper motor.
Note
Use the actuator in conditions where its surface temperature will be 90˚C max.. The repetitive positioning accuracy is measured at a constant temperature under a constant load.
