Function: This unit consists of an aluminium profile with hardened steel guide rods mounted on top of the profile. The carriage, which has internal linear ball bearings that can be adjusted free of play, is driven along the guide rods by a high precision rack.
The rack and pinion system is suitable for highly dynamic servo operation and ideal for lifting movements. The pinion has maintenance-free ball bearings. The rack is lubricated by a toothed felt wheel.
In the standard version, the carriage runs on 8 rollers which can be adjusted and serviced. For longer carriages the number of rollers can be increased. Repeatability ± 0,05 mm.
