item compact Linear Units combine the functionality of a linear guide with an integrated belt drive in a minimum of space. They are suitable for high-speed positioning jobs, are quiet in travel and feature low-wear, heavy-duty drive elements.

The benefits at a glance:

 

Powerful yet compact Long service life and easy running thanks to large rollers All internal functional elements covered by the Timing Belt and protected against contact soiling Greater safety, since no moving external parts Available in the modular dimensions of Lines 6 and 8 item profile grooves for securing and assembling add-on parts low maintenance; all elements accessible from outside

Axis lenghts can be customized, up to max. housing length of 6000 mm Motors are easily attached using universal coupling elements included in the Drive Set Several Linear Units can be synchronised with a single drive motor Integrated fastening of Proximity Switches and integrated cable routing Modular design ensures short delivery times

Linear Units KLE are available in two versions, in the modular dimensions of Lines 6 and 8. They have different load-bearing capacities depending on the guide and drive elements used. The item profile grooves in the housing profile provide various options for KLE installation and securing to the machine structure.

All guide and drive elements are protected inside the sturdy housing profile. This integrated construction reduces possible malfunctions caused by contamination and cuts the risks posed by moving parts.

KLEs can be built in housings of any length up to 6000 mm thanks to the modular design principle. KLEs of type LR are provided with roller-bearing Slides on guiding shafts and are driven by Timing Belts. Covered by the Timing Belt, the roller guide runs inside the housing where it is fully protected.

The motor drive of a KLE is provided by the drive unit via Drive Sets with coupling elements (partially prepared in advance for this purpose).

This modular drive concept using the drive units means that any chosen motors can be adapted. It is also possible to link two KLEs using Synchronising Sets. The drive is provided by the Drive Unit via coupling elements with an elastic dampening effect. The second, non-driven Reverse Unit of the KLE is used to tension the Timing Belt.

The KLEs will be supplied completely assembled and ready to run by your item partner. The modular design, with no need for complex machining, results in short delivery times and facilitates installation and maintenance.
