New automation products from item
There is a new variant of a tried-and-tested linear unit – Line 5 Linear Unit KLE from item is now also available in size 40 mm x 40 mm. This compact design opens up new areas of application in automation. Users benefit from all the typical advantages of item products – precision, smooth running and high load-carrying capacity. What’s more, the design ensures enhanced occupational safety and protection against dirt.
item Linear Units KLE are particularly suitable for high-speed positioning tasks. Now, the tried-and-tested roller guides with timing-belt drive are available in a more compact design. With an overall width of just 40 mm including the carriage, Linear Unit KLE 5 is one of the slimmest linear units to feature a roller guide. The guide carriage runs securely on four roller elements and two hardened guiding shafts inside the profile. Just like the Line 6 and Line 8 models, the new Linear Unit KLE 5 40x40 LR is extremely durable and needs very little maintenance, since the roller elements are located inside the profile and the timing belt conceals the moving elements in the guide groove. This not only protects the linear unit against dirt, but also enhances occupational safety, since it is not possible to touch any of the moving parts apart from the carriage. The new linear unit is designed for a maximum payload of 250 N.
Easy commissioning
Linear Unit KLE 5 40x40 LR boasts impressive play-free carriage guidance. Commissioning has been made much easier. When fitting the carriage, all you need to do is loosen three screws to ensure the four D6 roller elements are automatically positioned on the shafts with zero play. Once the two spring-loaded screws on the reverse unit have been adjusted, you will have the perfect timing belt tension. The new linear unit can be integrated into profile frames with Line 8 and Line 5 grooves, and it can also be used for synchronised operation. It can be combined with other components from the item Building Kit System to create a whole host of applications.
