Figure 1: Guide elements for Gamma ZSSD linear unit
A mechanical linear unit converts rotary motion into linear motion and
thus facilitates fast, safe and accurate movement of loads from one
position to another. It consists of a basic aluminium profile, a moveable
carriage which is supported by a guide element (linear guide system)
and a drive element (rack-and-pinion or toothed belt drive).
Depending on the design, the carriage can absorb forces and moments
in all directions and is non-positively connected to the guide and drive
element via the slide plate.
The basic profile is self-supporting up to a certain length and fitted with
grooves to keep it in place.
The operating area can be flexibly arranged. Several Gamma linear
units can be configured to cover a large area (2 axes) or in a spatial
arrangement (3 axes).
A plate can be used to connect driven linear units to non-driven linear
units of the same type, for example in order to be able to take on large
loads.
