T-linear unit connectors of die-cast
aluminum have a slitted clamping point and guide
element bore machined by cutting methods, with or
without a sliding insert. Both bores are situated in a
plane and arranged in a T-shape.
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
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 tool-operated
hex socket cap screw, the clamping force achievable
with an adjustable hand lever is lower due to
the shorter lever length.
