Cross linear unit connectors of
die-cast aluminum or precision-cast stainless steel
have slitted clamping points and guide element bores
machined by cutting methods, with or without a
sliding insert. The bores are offset in the plane and
arranged at an angle of 90°.
Together with the guide tube of the linear unit,
the guide element bores form a solid linear round
guide mechanism that can be adjusted and clamped
for low play. Drive keys transmit the linear movement
of the linear unit to the linear unit connector.
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. At the screw
points, hex socket cap screws or adjustable hand
levers reduce the guide element bore or clamping
point size.
Adjustable hand levers are intended for repeated,
tool-free clamping. Under the designation HSK or
HEK, 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.
