Flanged linear unit connectors of die-cast
aluminum have a slitted bore machined by cutting
methods, with or without a sliding insert. This is
arranged in the plane parallel to the face of the
flange.
Together with the guide tube of the linear unit,
the guide element bore forms 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 point,
a hex socket cap screw or an adjustable hand lever
reduces size of the guide element bore.
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.
