Ball screw linear axis EPX-II KG

Maximum flexibility EPX-II KG linear units easily put away medium and high loads and give the user a free choice when it comes to the installation position. They can be equipped with either a short or long carriage. The "Protect" version of the EPX-II KG is equipped with optional bellows to protect the actuator. It thus achieves protection class IP 40. Multiple fastening options in the end elements – including two tapped holes in the faces – facilitate vertical installation on base plates and make it easier to connect accessories. 100% compatible The new linear actuators are compatible with previous EP/EPX units and the accessories from the line in all functional sizes, outer dimensions and screw pitches. Even applications which use older models can be optimised using the new twin-tube linear actuators, without any constructional effort. In the process, it is not necessary to replace the accessories, such as handwheels or positioning indicators. Actuator adjustment is preferably performed with servomotors. When doing so, almost all types from any number of manufacturers can be adapted. Special tapered lubrication nipples on both sides of the carriage facilitate lubrication of the linear units in any carriage position. As a result, it is not necessary to move the units into a particular maintenance position or to remove any fittings. The central lubrication accelerates and simplifies maintenance and makes for more safety.
