Advantages of the linear motor and long-time design experience perfectly combined in profiled guide slides PFL / PCL

• Integrated linear motor core of the very compact and highly-precise machine building component • Complete integration of the direct drive into the machine ensures highest reliability and an optimiziation of the machine design Löffingen-Unadingen, July 10, 2007 – The company Föhrenbach GmbH, one of the important developers and producers in the automation and handling technology for the precision machinery industry, offers with its market-proved and many times implemented profiled guide slide PFL / PCL a very compact and reliable linear drive component. The linear components PCL (version with cover) and PFL (with bellows) – both developed and produced by Föhrenbach – guarantee high accuracy in a super compact package due to the high integration of all components. By the utilization of the linear drive in combination with the sophisticated desgin the profiled guide slide becomes a drive component that allows an optimized machine design because component parts such as gearboxes, pinions, racks or spindels are not needed. Further more the linear drive features excellent synchronisation characteristics. These can be reached also at low speeds in connection with a highly soluble measuring system. Also under adverse or difficult operating conditions the direct driven profiled guide slide PFL / PCL operates due to the complete integration into the machine as long-lasting and reliable component. Therefore it makes a large contribution to the allover high reliability of the entire
