Linear units
For more dynamism
Machine elements for automation. Among other things, Dr. Tretter will be presenting its new stroke-turning module. Designers benefit above all from the fact that the spindle forms a unit together with the torque shaft. This means that both separate and combined linear and rotary movements can be implemented with a compact design.
Dr. Tretter has very special machine elements in its portfolio with its torque ball bushings. The latest development is the stroke-turn module. These combine the properties of a ball screw drive with a torsion-proof torque shaft guide. This enables designers to implement even more dynamic applications in automation technology. This is because lifting and turning are frequently occurring movements in automation. In most cases, two different machine elements are used for each of these functions. This not only requires more space, but the moving masses are also significantly larger.
With the Movitec and Monocarrier series, Dr. Tretter is presenting linear units that can be used for a wide range of positioning and handling tasks and can be easily integrated into various applications. The axes are made of aluminum profiles, some of which are also made of steel. As they are available in numerous combinations with different drives and guides, the user saves on design and assembly work. The linear units are available in various sizes. Special solutions can be created quickly and flexibly according to the modular principle.
In Munich, the company will also be showing visitors the new C-types from its range of linear guideways, which are available from stock. These units are compact, rigid and extremely strong. Because the raceways are arranged at four by 45 degrees, they can be subjected to the same pressure, tension and lateral force in every direction. This means that the installation position of the guideways is irrelevant. This X arrangement of the raceways also means that they are better able to compensate for assembly and misalignment errors. All carriages have optimized ball deflections for smooth and quiet running.
The technology partner will also be presenting other solutions from its range at Automatica. These include round guides with ball bushings, anti-rotation round guides, aluminum rail guides, miniature guides, roller guides with measuring system, ball screw drives, complete linear axes, as well as tolerance sleeves and ball transfer units. as
