Technical data

The dynamic module with rack and pinion design can realise high accuracies with extreme loads at the same time. Several separately movable slides pose no problem for the linear axis thanks to the rack and pinion drive. Due to the special design of the extruded profile, the torsionally stiff base body is also suitable for unsupported applications. The linear axis is constructed with two parallel guides and a toothed rack positioned between them. The rotating components are shielded by metal sheets so that no contamination can enter the machine environment.

The modules are ready-to-install modular linear systems, which can be flexibly configured according to the respective customer requirements. The wide range of options makes it possible to ideally satisfy customer needs. Our dynamic modules can be combined with other series to form multi-axis solutions using the standardised adapter parts.

1) With regard to service life, we recommend loading the units with max. 20% of the dynamic load rating
2) Higher requirements on request
3) Larger strokes possible with composite base profiles
4) Without gear unit backlash
