Slide guide
Positioning systems and linear units in a compact format
Positioning systems and linear units are becoming increasingly smaller. ERO-Führungen is following this path with the newly developed MML (motorized miniature slide guide).
With an overall height of just 15 mm, the MML is very compact. Like almost all products from the linear technology specialist from the Black Forest, it is designed as a modular system. This results in three versions that are mounted on a recirculating ball bearing guide. The differences lie in the drives. The first version is driven by a stepper motor and a threaded spindle. This results in a very high repeat accuracy (<0.01mm).
In the second version, the priority is on fast and precise movements. Here, the drive is provided by a linear motor. The third version in this standard type is completed by an eccentric design. It offers advantages for the fastest positioning tasks and is suitable for oscillating movements.
Despite these differences, these three versions have one thing in common - minimal space requirements. The smallest version with spindle drive has a height of 15 mm, a width of 30 mm and effective strokes of 25-50 mm with an overall length of 150 mm. The motorized slide guide is also very light at just 220 g.
