Diseño y construcción de un actuador lineal con acoplamiento para el servomotor Kinco SMC60S

Abstract

In this graduation project, developed to obtain the degree of Mechatronics Engineer, a linear actuator coupled to the SMC60S servomotor was designed and manufactured for the Mechatronics laboratory. The design features a primary piece supporting the servomotor, equipped with a 55x90 mm bearing and a flange coupling machined to connect the servo shaft (14 mm) to the TR8x2 lead screw (8 mm diameter, 600 mm length). This piece also houses two steel shafts extending to a secondary piece, which includes an 8x22 mm bearing to stabilize the lead screw. The structure is reinforced with five 20x40 mm aluminum profiles to ensure precision and stability. Additional components were designed to attach to the lead screw’s nut, integrating linear bearings to visualize the actuator’s displacement. Moreover, an aluminum casing with a vinyl ruler allows the movement to be measured in millimeters. The project included calculations, SolidWorks modeling, and detailed mechanical and programming analyses, ensuring precise operation. This innovative tool effectively combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, providing a functional and educational solution for students.
