PHD Series ESU-RT Belt-Driven linear actuator with transition plate package provides direct mounting of UR robots. The combination provides a superior solution for a 7th axis to extend the work area of any UR robot for a wide variety of applications while maximizing investment. The ESU’s robust, enclosed, high-capacity rail bearing system is suitable for horizontal, wall, vertical, and overhead mounting orientations. Available in three sizes, with travels lengths up to 5,500 mm to support all sizes of UR robots, it provides exceptional moment and load capability. Once set-up, the 7th Axis is controlled seamlessly from the UR pendant via our free URCap. The ESU-RT actuator is ordered separately. Use PHD sizing software to identify 7Th Axis motor parameters which suit your application needs. Consult PHD Applications Engineering for UR CAP compatibility for turnkey integration.
