Linear units are made from chrome-plated
steel and can be ordered from stock in the standard
lengths given in the table for short delivery times.
Configurable linear units in individual lengths are
available under VE1R.
A continuous spindle with ball bearings on each
side is installed in the guide tube. The spindle nut
transmits the linear movements to a linear unit
connector via a drive key along the guide groove.
The guide element bore forms a solid linear round
guide together with the guide tube. Multiple
connector types are available for selection and can
be adjusted or clamped for low play using the slitted
bore. Depending on the design, the part to be
moved is fastened to the guide element or the guide
element itself is installed at the place of use such
that the entire linear unit moves together.
The journal length is designed for attachment of
a handwheel. The handwheel and the linear unit
connectors are not included with the linear unit and
must be ordered separately.
Adjustable hand levers are intended for repeated,
tool-free clamping of the guide elements. Under the
designation HSK, these are available separately for
individual use and in other designs. Compared with
the tool-operated hex socket cap screw, the
clamping force achievable with an adjustable hand
lever is lower due to the shorter lever length.
