Linear drive units

29 October 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Isel’s LES (Linear Unit Series) can be used in many applications requiring a linear axis with spindle drives. These units are ready-to-be-installed modules, primarily used in factory automation, handling techniques and in light mechanical engineering. Due to the ease of self installation and the multitude of configurable options, they offer standard solutions while providing enough flexibility for machine and system manufacturers to adapt them to their design.

The units are based on anodised, bending resistant, special aluminium profiles with precision steel shafts. The feed motion takes place with a ball screw feed axis and servo motors are used as motor drives.

The desired linear dimension can be built to customer specifications. Special motor connections can also be provided as per customer requirements.
