Manual linear axis VE2R

screwsingle tubeprecision

The guide tubes of the linear units are made of chrome-plated steel or bright stainless steel precision tubes. A spindle with ball bearings on both sides is installed in the guide tube. This is comprised of one part with left-hand thread and one with right-hand thread. The spindle nuts positioned on the left and right transmit the symmetrical and opposing linear movements to two linear unit connectors via two drive keys along the guide groove. The guide element bores form solid linear round guides 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. The parts to be moved are fastened to the guide element, such as for format adjustments, in which one side guide is symmetrically moved to various widths. 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 connectorss 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. RoHS-compliant product
