1 Introduction

1.1Overview of product properties

The ball screw axes are based on specially developed and particularly torsion-resistant aluminum profiles. They excel with the their ability to position heavy loads at changing torques with high feed forces and high accuracy.

1.1.1Product family

The linear axes product family consists of the following sizes:

•PAS42Sx (axis body cross section 60x60 mm)

•PAS43Sx (axis body cross section 80x80 mm)

•PAS44Sx (axis body cross section 110x110 mm)

The sizes differ in terms of outer dimensions, drive data, payload capac- ities and maximum stroke.

1.1.2Features and options of the linear axis

The linear axis excels with the following features and options:

•High positioning accuracy even at great ballscrew lengths due to several moving screw supports

•Simple integration into systems and machines due to axis bodies with slots

•Stroke length available precise to the millimeter

•Mounting thread with counterbores for locating dowels at the car- riage for reproducible mounting of the payload

•Grease nipples at the side of the carriage for external lubrication

•Distribution of the payload to up to 3 carriages

•Optional cover strip

•Motor mounting via compact coupling system

•Sensors adjustable in T slots

1.1.3Features of the linear guide

Recirculating ball bearing guide • High acceleration

•High load capacity

•High accuracy

•Suitable for high torques

•Optimum absorption of forces by the axis body
