Ball screw drive
A screw driven system is normally recognised by high thrust and stiffness and can be based on a low cost lead screw with preloaded nut, through to a standard commercial rolled ball screw or even a state of the art high precision ground ball screw.
Ball or slide guides
Thomson ball guided linear units come in two different versions.
The first ball guide version (top) has a unique ball guide developed by Thomson. This integrated ball guide system is used in some of the ball guided units and offers outstanding load carrying performance along with high accuracy and a long life expectancy.
The second version (bottom) are based on a commercial type of ball guide which offers smooth and quiet travel and the highest precision. These ball guided systems offer the best performance on the ball guide market today.
The unique self aligning slide guide system uses prism shapped
polymer bushings running directly on the anodised profile surface.
The prism slide guides offers a cost efficient, smooth, reliable
and maintenance free guiding system. Resistant to shock loads,
dust and dirt it is the best choice for applications in demanding
environments. |
