A linear module is a linear motion device composed of linear guides, ball screws or synchronous belts, and aluminum profiles connected to a motor. Can be used in conjunction with mechanical claws, pneumatic claws, etc. to complete various actions. The high rigidity of the aluminum body, ball screws, and linear guides enable high precision, high speed, modularity, standardization, and other advantages, making it easy to operate, install, and eliminate the need for customers to design and manufacture linear motion. Specific aspects of the institution. The linear module can also be freely combined into a two axis (XY worktable) or three-axis (XYZ) system to achieve complex motion requirements. Widely used in the field of industrial automation.
The closed linear module has added a stainless steel dust-proof structure on the basis of the semi closed one. Unique and aesthetically pleasing design, suitable for occasions with dust prevention requirements. Compared with semi closed linear modules, closed linear modules have the following characteristics:
1. The structure is quite complex
The fully enclosed linear module seals the transmission part inside to prevent dust from falling onto the transmission part; There is a port on both sides of the semi closed linear module, which is open for the moving sub seat, and the transmission parts can be seen through the port.
2. Wide usage environment
Semi enclosed linear modules are mainly suitable for working environments with less dust, while fully enclosed linear modules are used in environments with more dust, mainly because dust can affect the lifespan of the module. Dust easily enters and adheres to screws. If not cleaned in time, it will affect the operation of the screw. However, if cleaned frequently, it will require disassembly and assembly, which wastes time. Therefore, in general, fully enclosed linear modules are used in work environments with high levels of dust.
3. High cost
Compared with semi enclosed linear modules, fully enclosed linear modules are slightly more expensive and use different profiles. There is a groove at the front opening. This slot is used for the rotor seat, and then a steel ribbon is placed on the rotor seat. There is also a dust cover. In terms of installation, fully enclosed modules are superior to semi enclosed linear modules. The installation difficulty is high, indirectly leading to higher costs.
