Linear Units with Ball Screw Drive and Ball Guide
PowerLine, ForceLine, Microstage, AccuSlide
Typical Applications
Typical applications are where high accuracy and load capability is required but where speed is less important. Typical examples are machining operations and in the handling of heavy goods that need accurate positioning.
Technical Presentation
Screw support
Patented screw support system permits high speed at long stroke lengths while reducing the stroke with a minimum.
Double ball nuts
Double pre-tensioned ball nuts improve the accuracy and permits re-tensioning - increasing the lifetime of the unit.
Central lubrication
One central lubrication point on the carriage services the entire unit resulting in a minimum maintenance requirement.
Ball guides
Integrated patented ball guides with hardened steel tracks for optimum performance.
Ball cages
The balls in the ball guides are protected by a ball cage ensuring extended life.
Cover band
The patented self-adjusting cover band protect the unit from the penetration of dirt, dust and liquids.
Thomson linear units with ball screw and ball guide.
PowerLine, ForceLine, Microstage, AccuSlide
Typical applications are where high accuracy and load capacity are required and speed is less important. Typical examples include machining operations and heavy load handling where precise positioning is required.
The patented screw support system enables high speed even with long stroke lengths, with minimal stroke shortening.
Double pre-tensioned ball nuts improve accuracy and allow repeated pre-tensioning - extending equipment life.
One central lubrication point on the carriage is used for the entire machine, minimizing maintenance requirements.
Integrated patented ball guide with hardened steel tracks to ensure optimal operating properties.
To ensure a long service life, the balls in the ball guides are protected by cages.
Cover band
The patented, self-adjusting cover strip protects the device from the ingress of dirt, dust and liquids.
