THK's Next Generation Type SKR Actuator Features Double
Dose of Caged Technology
 Schaumburg, IL (November 25, 2002) - Based on the design
of their successful Type KR Actuator. THK's new high-speed
Type SKR Actuator has the added benefit of Caged Technology
- two times over. The Type SKR's LM Guide and Ballscrew both
include THK's patented Caged Technology.
Caged Technology works by isolating each of the load carrying
re-circulating elements in their LM guides in an individual
cage or pocket. This cage prevents ball-to-ball contact and
the associated friction. The cage also acts as a reservoir
for lubricants, eliminating the need for an external lubricating
system. Specific benefits include increased speed and accuracy
of motion, decreased noise levels, long-term, maintenance-free
operation and reduced sources of contamination.
The Type SKR provides high rigidity and reduced noise levels.
The Type SKR is available in outer rail lengths from 150
- 740 mm and stroke ranges of 55 - 608.5 mm. The Type SKR
produces little dust generation. Type SKR is compatible in
size with THK's Type KR.
