LINE TECH compact unit KE…Z…: where others reach their limits, we are just getting started
More compact, more load-bearing, more dynamic – requirements that can be found in many specifications for linear technology projects today. We fully meet this need with the further development of our compact unit KE...Z... with toothed belt drive.
With our extremely torsion-resistant and compact profile with a cross-section of just 110 x 50 mm, which is equipped with two heavy-duty linear rail guides, we can handle forces C0 up to 70,000 N or Cdyn up to 36,000 N, accelerations up to 50 m/s2 and travel speeds up to 5 m/s with maximum positioning accuracy and repeatability – as standard up to a stroke of 5700 mm. This means that even our basic version sets new standards compared to the usual 1500 mm stroke.
But that's not all: thanks to our ability to connect profiles (without interfering contours!), our KE-XL version achieves a stroke of up to 12.5 meters – without any compromises in terms of load, torque, acceleration, or speed! And if that's still not enough, even longer strokes are possible within the scope of application-specific solutions.
This is made possible by our newly designed drive and deflection housings with heavy-duty pinion gears and toothed belts, which are constructed with specific tensile members depending on the application and requirements. This enables us to achieve maximum dynamic performance with the usual high precision, even with the longest strokes.
By the way: Extra-long strokes – XL versions – are also available for our LM linear modules, DM dynamic modules and BM bridge modules (in versions with toothed belt drive or rack and pinion drive).
