Linear Motion Systems
A linear motion system (also called linear unit, linear drive unit, linear module) is a mechanical device that in its simplest form converts the rotary motion of a lead screw or a belt and pulley to the linear movement of a carriage moving back and forth along a profile that has internal or external guides to support the load on the carriage. Normally the customer fit a motor and gear of his own choice to the input shaft. But linear motion systems are also available as packages where the motor and gear is fitted from factory and a suitable drive is included in the shipment. Linear motion systems can use almost any type of electrical motor, from AC, DC, stepper to servomotors, and be equipped with all kind of options and accessories depending on the application.
