High load linear module

Called the CLSM, the new device has been developed for use in a wide range of industrial applications where speed, capacity, accuracy and repeatability are required from a unit with a small footprint. These applications typically include automated welding, inspection and robotics operations.

The new CLSM linear module measures just 92x60mm. It is designed to be motor driven and is available in two versions, with movement being achieved by either a ball screw or lead screw. In each case, stroke length is between 100 and 800mm, with static and dynamic load capacities of 13,300N and 9,500N respectively. Repeatability for the higher performance ball screw variant is plus or minus 0.01mm, with a maximum speed of 200mm/sec, acceleration up to 6m/sec2 and positional accuracy to within 0.05mm over a 300mm stroke.

The CLSM can be supplied with adaptors for most common makes of industrial motor, has an external mechanical brake option and with single point lubrication and standard mounting points is simple both to install and maintain. Each unit is sealed to IP54 and can be supplied with a base plate manufactured from aluminium or steel, depending on the application. A stainless steel cover is also available to protect against weld spatter.
