Base linear unit connectors of die-cast
aluminum have a split guide element bore
machined by cutting methods that is oriented
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
or square 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 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.
