Reference-class linear drive
High-resolution, high-load linear actuator. Highly dynamic, closed-loop DC motors for high velocities.
High-quality components
Ball screw for high velocities and a high number of cycles. Stable bearing at shaft output reduces lateral forces on the pusher. Nonrotating tip for uniform motion prevents wobble, torque, and wear at the point of contact. Incl. flat and spherical tip for decoupling forces. Noncontact limit switches protect the mechanics. A direction-sensing reference switch supports automation applications
Highly-accurate position measuring with incremental linear encoder
Noncontact optical linear encoders measure the position with highest accuracy directly on the platform Nonlinearity, mechanical play or elastic deformation have no influence on the measurement.
Application fields
Precision alignment, external drive element for guided systems.
