Linear motion is one aspect of machine design that can benefit from modular components. For example, our Linear Motion System features a robust, modular construction, making it well-suited for many automated manufacturing applications. It is based on our 50-millimeter aluminum Extrusion and Fastening Technology, which is compatible with our other systems thanks to a common 14-millimeter T-slot and strong, proprietary Fastening Technology. This feature makes it easy to connect our Linear Motion System to our conveyors, material handling systems, safety fencing and machine frames.
Our standard Linear Motion Units are available with a single or double carriage, and you can attach the energy chain directly to the carriage without an additional component. For advanced applications, you can also use Omega Linear Motion Units as an individual device or X-Y-Z gantry to move and position parts with precision. Other features of our Linear Motion System include the following:
