Optimising automation processes
Translational movement of loads – many transport tasks in automated processes are carried out with the assistance of linear technology. One common application is the lifting of loads. New Linear Unit GSF 6 60 TR 12x3 is particularly well suited to these lifting tasks. The unit, which features a spindle drive with a self-locking trapezoidal thread, enables low-friction sliding guidance. The impressive system also offers low-maintenance, cost-efficient operation.
With its new Linear Unit GSF 6 60 TR 12x3, item has combined a low-friction slide guide with a spindle drive that features a self-locking trapezoidal thread. This trapezoidal thread, with its 3 mm pitch, prevents any uncontrolled dropping of loads being transported in vertical applications. The self-locking feature means there is no need for any additional components such as bars, brakes or other fixings. Thanks to its very compact design, the new Linear Unit is ideally suited to environments where space is limited. An unbroken cover strip protects the inside of the support profile from soiling. Parallel Drive Set 6 60 D12-1 can be used to connect the new Linear Unit to any motor. A drive unit ensures non-slip power transmission. item motors are easily connected to Parallel Drive Set 6 60 D12-1 SE 60 (0.0.708.27) via plug and play. Hand-Wheel D60 D12 can be used if the new Linear Unit is to be operated manually. It can be quickly installed and enables the transmission of torques of up to 3.7 Nm. The Hand-Wheel is compatible with other Linear Units from item.
Maximum stability for long-term operation
The new Linear Unit features integrated spindle supports, meaning stroke lengths of up to 2800 mm are possible – even in continuous operation and at maximum travel speed. The stable, maintenance-free system also offers an impressively long service life and excellent reliability. This results in duty cycles of up to 1000 km and exceptionally economical operation.
Linear Unit GSF 6 60 TR 12x3 is compatible with the item Building Kit System. The automation solution can be configured in just a few steps using the item MotionDesigner® intelligent selection and design software and commissioned in next to no time with item MotionSoft®.
