Very compact and economical linear guide unit for ISO 21287 cylinder Ø25 to 50 (cylinder not supplied).
Access to the lateral sensor grooves of the cylinder.
Short guide on bronze bearings, ball bushings or polymer bearings.
Ideal for compact guided cylinder applications while retaining an ISO cylinder.
Options:
– fixation through body
– lateral fixation
– anti-corroding version
2 ranges of linear guide units for ISO 21287 cylinder :
Depending on the stroke and the lateral forces, 2 ranges are available to guide the rod of ISO 21287 cylinders.
. 34*EC series is the most compact version, with a rigid connection of the cylinder rod directly screwed into the front plate. This model is therefore limited to cylinders with stroke up to 50 mm.
. 34*EF series has a floating rod coupling between the cylinder rod and the front plate. This model can receive cylinders with a longer stroke (100 mm maximum recommended).
ISO 21287 cylinder with guide unit or compact guided cylinder ?
It’s more advantageous to use an ISO 21287 cylinder and a 34*EC series guide unit for strokes less than 50 mm and moderate lateral forces rather than a compact guided cylinder. Indeed, the solution is about 30% cheaper, more economical also in the long term because we can change just the cylinder without being linked to a supplier as the cylinder meets the ISO 21287 standard.
The front fixing of the guide unit can also be an advantage, especially in conveying solutions.
