Key Features & Advantages
-
Anti-Rotation & High Rigidity: The dual guide shafts absorb eccentric and lateral loads, keeping the front mounting plate aligned without twisting or bending.
-
Integrated Design: Combines linear bearings and guide rods into a single body block, saving space compared to mounting external guide rails.
-
Low Friction Linear Bearings: Recirculating ball bushings ensure smooth travel with minimal starting resistance.
-
Versatile Mounting Options: Threaded mounting holes and slot grooves are provided on top, bottom, and side faces for flexible setup in tight automated fixtures.
Applications
The 25 mm bore provides strong thrust, while the short 10 mm stroke delivers tight, repeatable actuation:
-
Pick-and-Place End Effectors: Serves as a short-stroke Z-axis actuator or horizontal pusher on robotic gantries where tooling rotational movement must be zero.
-
Clamping & Fixture Positioning: Holds workpieces firmly on CNC or automated assembly stations without deflecting under tool pressure.
-
Stopper Mechanisms on Conveyors: Acts as a retractable stop pin or gate to arrest pallets, trays, or components along high-speed indexing assembly lines.
-
Electronic & Semiconductor Equipment: Executes precise, short linear movements in chip testing jigs, component placement modules, and PCB processing lines.
