LM Guide Actuators

Construction

Because of its integral-structure inner block consisting of a highly rigid outer rail with a U-shaped cross section, LM Guide units on both side faces and a Ball Screw unit in the center, LM Guide Actuator model KR achieves a highly rigid and highly accurate actuator in a minimal space. In addition, since the housings A and B also serve as support units and the inner block as a table, this model allows significant reduction of man-hours required for design and assembly, thus contributing to total cost cutting.

4-way Equal Load

Each row of balls is arranged at a contact angle of 45° so that the rated load on the inner block is uniform under loads applied to the inner block in the four directions (radial, reverse radial and lateral directions). As a result, model KR can be used in any mounting orientation.

Equal Load

High Rigidity

Use of an outer rail with a U-shaped cross section increases the rigidity against a moment and torsion.

High Rigidity


High Accuracy

Since the linear guide section consists of 4 rows of circular-arc grooves that enable balls to smoothly move even under a preload, a highly rigid guide with no clearance is achieved. Additionally, variation in frictional resistance caused by load fluctuation is minimized, allowing the system to follow highly accurate feed.

3 Types of Accuracy Grades Available:

  • Normal Grade: ±0.01 mm
  • High Accuracy Grade: ±0.005 mm
  • Precision Grade: ±0.003 mm
