Linear actuators with toothed belt drive from norelem

Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem, explains how linear actuators with toothed belt drive ensure automated movement with ease and precision for a vast variety of engineering and manufacturing needs.Get more news about linear drive,you can vist our website!

The precise linear actuators from norelem represent a standard solution available from stock to automate linear movements with ease. They are suitable for use in production, assembly, packaging, logistics, and storage lines or on special industrial machines. A toothed belt drive ensures smooth and synchronous transmission even of heavy and constant loads.

The linear actuators, sometimes also referred to as linear axes, with toothed belt drive and profile rail guide offer customers many advantages: they are compact and light, but at the same time convince with very high rigidity. The toothed belt drive ensures a smooth, synchronous drive. «Toothed belt drives are used in positioning drives, among other things, because they work reproducibly due to the positive coupling,» explains Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem. «In addition, they can be designed to be largely backlash-free. In this case, the toothed belt drive is used as an actuator.» Thanks to the sealed bearings, this results in low maintenance for norelem’s linear actuators. The belts themselves are easily accessible, so users can easily adjust the tension or replace them if necessary. The standard stroke lengths are up to 1960 mm, but on request the linear actuators are also available in special lengths up to 4000 mm.
The base body consists of a self-supporting extruded aluminium profile with integrated profile rail guide. It is a standard profile of series I with the dimensions 60 x 60 mm or 80 x 80 mm. The rail system can absorb the highest forces from all directions, is low-wearing and offers optimum running when moving large masses. There are grooves on the outer sides of the aluminium profile for easy and safe mounting and for attaching accessories. The groove width is 6 or 8 mm. Due to the symmetrical design, the linear axis allows motors and gears to be mounted on all four sides of the bearing housings. The aluminium slide of the linear guide has four threaded holes for mounting additional elements. Additional centring holes enable precise mounting.

Toothed belts reinforced with steel tension members enable high power transmission and, at the same time, high positioning accuracy. The toothed belt runs in guide grooves on the top of the aluminium profile and thus protects all parts in the profile from dirt.
