Base linear unit connectors of precision-
cast stainless steel have a slitted bore
machined by cutting methods and are fitted with
a sliding insert. This is arranged perpendicular 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 carriage bolt and a cap nut or an
adjustable hand lever reduces the size of the
guide element bore or clamping point. Type B is
equipped with seals at the screw point.
Adjustable hand levers are intended for repeated,
tool-free clamping. Under the designation HEK,
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.
