Technical information

Linear Modules

Sections:

  • Aluminium: 100 x 100 to 400 x 300 (extruded profile)
  • Steel: Diameter 20 to 80
  • Rectangular steel sections 180 x 260 to 400 x 400

Guideways:

  • Round: Diameter 10 to 80
  • Flat from 20x 60, 20x 80 and 100x 25
  • Guideways hardened and ground, screw fixed in position
  • Self manufactured 8m guideways without join, h6 tolerance
  • Rail guideways

Drive elements:

  • Toothed belt with steel cord
  • Rack, hardened, with helical gearing, optionally ground
  • Lead screws and ball screws

Drive systems

  • Servomotors (Siemens, Indramat, SEW, etc.) with low-backlash angular and axial gear
  • Three-phase geared brake motors, frequency controlled (SEW)
  • Three-phase geared brake motors, pole-changing (SEW)
  • Pneumatic drive systems
  • Special drives to customer specification

Loads

  • from 1 to 5,000 Kg

Specification

  • Speeds up to 10 m/s
  • Acceleration to 20 m/s²

Please note that performance is a function of:
Mass - speed - acceleration - travel - precision - encoder measurement and drive system Accuracy

Repeatability:

 >= +- 0.05 mm with rack and pinion drive
 >= +- 0.1 mm with toothed belt drive

Please note that repeatability is affected by:
Mass - speed - acceleration - travel - precision - encoder measurement and drive system
