Cross linear unit connectors of
die-cast aluminum have split clamping points and
guide element bores that have been partially
machined by cutting methods. 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 or square guide mechanism that can be
adjusted and clamped for low play. Centering
bushes in the pass-through bores eliminate axial
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,
these are available separately for individual use
and in other designs. Compared with the tooloperated
hex socket cap screw, the clamping
force achievable with an adjustable hand lever is
lower due to the shorter lever length.
