Linear modules
Linear modules combine highly sophisticated movements with high rigidity. They can be easily installed and are generally designed for average loads. In contrast, linear stages are especially suitable for moment loads due to the structure of the guide system. The various motorised versions can be used in many sectors of conveyor technology and automation.
A linear motion system is a mechanical solution designed to enable controlled and precise movement along a straight path. It typically consists of components like linear guides, ball screws, or belts, and is used to achieve smooth, accurate motion in various industrial and technological applications.
Which are the main features of a linear motion system?
The main features of a linear motion system include high precision and repeatability for accurate positioning, robust construction for handling heavy loads, low-friction operation for energy efficiency, modular designs for easy customization, and smooth, quiet performance suitable for demanding environments.
What is a linear motion system used for?
Linear motion systems are used in applications requiring precise and reliable linear movement, such as automation equipment, CNC machines, semiconductor manufacturing, and medical devices. They are essential for tasks like positioning, guiding, or transporting components with high accuracy and efficiency.
