The guide tubes of the linear units are made of
chrome-plated steel or bright stainless steel precision
tubes. 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.
Possible accessories are already taken into account in
the selection of the linear units according to the
options given in the tables. This ensures, for example,
that the journal lengths z1 and z2 are appropriate for
attachment of the accessories. The linear unit
connectors and the accessories are not included with
the linear units 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.
