A belt-driven, compact linear guideway only has to be fitted with a motor to move light loads with high acceleration and speed

R A Rodriguez said that its compact TMT Power-Line linear guideway T100 couldn’t be simpler to assemble. Just fit a motor and the product can then be used to move light loads with high acceleration and speed. The self-supporting structure of the rail and its factory applied M6 mounting holes enable quick, easy and economic installation, said the company.
This belt-driven, four lubricated wheel design can accommodate direct loads of up to 400N and side loads of 1080N.

Maximum stroke from the single piece construction is up to 7000mm.

It is suitable for speeds up to 4.5m/s and typical positioning accuracy is +/-0.1mm.

The concentric bearing arrangement of the design allows easy adjustment of pre-load.

Virtually silent in operation this addition to the R A Rodriguez linear motion range is also maintenance-free.

The motor/geared motor can be mounted directly to the guideway or via a coupling, said the company.

R A Rodriguez told manufacturingtalk that the Power-Line linear guideway T100 is the product of TMT, a company that specialises in the design and manufacture of robust rail profiles for automotive lift-and-carry transfer lines.

Its Speedy Rail system is widely used by the world’s leading car manufacturers.
