Linear Modules

Linear modules are designed to perform precise and repeatable movements in one or more axes (X-Y-Z systems). They consist of a rigid aluminum profile into which precision linear guides (usually with ball carriages) and a drive element are integrated. Depending on the requirements for speed, force, and positioning accuracy, we distinguish between two basic types of drives:

Types of drives:

• Rack and pinion drive: Allows for extremely high speeds of movement and long strokes. It is ideal for applications where dynamics are key.

• Ball screw drive: Provides maximum positioning accuracy, high repeatability, and the ability to withstand large axial forces. It is used in precision assembly, dosing, and machining processes.
