Linear module is a type of linear slide rail commonly referred to as electric cylinder, linear module,
etc. in the industry. This structure is composed of a linear slider and a motor drive combination.
Realize automatic linear motion of workpieces through motor drive. Meanwhile,
through the combination of multi-directional axes, linear module manufacturers can form motion actuators on equipment,
commonly known as industrial robotic arms, XYZ axis robotic arms, coordinate axis sliders, etc.
The application of linear modules is similar to that of electric cylinders and is widely used in various industries, such as:
1. Entertainment industry: robotic arms and joints, dynamic seats, etc.
2. Military industry: simulation aircraft, simulation, etc.
3. Automotive industry: presses, testing equipment, etc.
4. Industrial industries: food machinery, ceramic machinery, welding machinery, spraying equipment, lifting platforms, etc.
5. Medical equipment.
Linear module features:
Accuracy: Different industries have different requirements for the accuracy of linear modules, s
o there are no specific regulations on the accuracy of linear modules. Accuracy can be classified into
large machine tools and small and medium-sized machine tools. The accuracy of large machine tools is
generally 1 meter per line. The accuracy requirement for small and medium-sized machine tools is
generally above 0.1mm, and the accuracy of the linear module screw series is below 0.02mm.
Speed: The speed of the linear module during use is generally lower than the theoretical value because its
speed is mainly affected by the load on the linear module. Meanwhile, if only speed is pursued in
the production process, accuracy will also be affected and reduced.
Load: Load is one of the main factors affecting the accuracy and speed of linear modules.
Linear module manufacturers who want to understand the practical application of linear modules in
production equipment generally need to first consider their load.
Travel: Effective travel refers to the effective length of travel that the slider on the linear module can slide.
The longer the linear module, the greater the negative impact of the load.
