Control and drive systems

The linear axes of the Smart System consist of a self-supporting aluminium frame. The drive is provided by a steel-reinforced toothed belt. This range of very cost effective linear units has been designed to achieve maximum performance from a carefully planned, simple construction. * High load ratings * High speeds and accelerations * High permissible tilting moments * Low friction * Low noise emission The Smart System consists of three products with different characteristics: E-SMART, R-SMART and S-SMART. Smart System E-SMART The E-SMART series comprises linear units with self-supporting extruded aluminium profiles, which are available in four sizes from 30 to 100 mm. They are driven by a steel-reinforced polyurethane toothed belt. One or more recirculating ball bearing guides are mounted on the single rail. Translated with DeepL

The R-SMART series linear units are particularly suitable for heavy loads, pulling and pushing very heavy weights, demanding work cycles, possible cantilever or gantry mounting, and operation in industrial automated lines. Extruded and anodized aluminum self-sustaining structure with a rectangular section, available in three sizes, from 120 to 220mm. Transmission with polyurethane steel re-enforced driving belt and features a single-rail with one or more recirculating ball bearing runner blocks. Also available with multiple sliders to further improve load capacity. These units are best used in applications requiring very heavy loads in extremely confined spaces, and where machines cannot be stopped to carry out ordinary system maintenance.

The TT is a linear actuator series mainly used for high accuracy positioning within a 23 µm range and precision repeatability within 5 µm. Manufactured using a very rigid extruded anodized aluminum base structure, this actuator series is designed for high loads and precise movements that are typically required in machine tools and other exacting machine design applications. All mounting surfaces and reference datums have been produced to significantly reduce the deviations of pitch, yaw and roll along the entire stroke. The heavy duty carriage is driven by a C5 or C7 preloaded ball screw drive and the payload is supported by a system of four runner blocks mounted on two parallel linear guides. High speeds can be accomplished by specifying available super lead ball screw drivers. The TT series contains all the necessary features and hardware to make multi-axis configurations and assembly easy. All TT units are 100% inspected and supplied with certificates of accuracy.
