Shaft support units mounted with hardened shaft
This system of various machine elements allows precise linear movement of the associated assemblies along a specified path, commonly referred to as stroke. The surface hardened shafts are available from Smalltec within the rail units in the material grades Cf53 (1.1213), Cf53 with additional dimensional hard chrome plating, and stainless steel X46Cr13 (1.4034).
Basic information on Linear units:
Linear carriage units are a type of linear technology used to achieve precise linear motion of machine components and instruments. They consist of a rail on which a carriage slides, carrying the load. The rail is typically made of hardened steel or aluminum, and the carriage contains ball bearings that slide along the rail to enable precise and smooth motion.
Linear carriage units are used in many different applications, especially in automation and manufacturing technology. They are used for the precise positioning of workpieces and tools, moving materials, and transporting products.
In the machine tool industry, linear carriage units are used to achieve precise movement of workpieces and tools. In combination with ball screws or trapezoidal lead screws, they enable accurate movement and positioning.
In the logistics industry, linear carriage units are used to control automated shelving systems, sorting and distribution systems, and conveyor belts.
In medical technology, linear carriage units are used for the precise movement of medical instruments during surgical procedures or for positioning patients in radiation therapy.
In the food industry, linear carriage units are used to move machines for food processing or for dosing food.
Linear carriage units are also used in measurement technology to enable the precise movement of sensors and precision measuring devices.
In summary, the application of linear carriage units is very broad and covers many different industries. Their precise guidance enables accurate movement of machine components and instruments, resulting in increased efficiency, productivity, and quality in manufacturing.
