Profile Driven Unit (PDU2)

The PDU2 is a compact linear transmission unit designed for high performance at low development costs, suitable for applications like food and pharmaceutical packaging. It offers a load capacity of 500N and speeds up to 6m/s, with virtually friction-free operation due to HepcoMotion's patented wheel technology.

Service Interval Calculations

After extended service, slight play in the carriage may develop, which can be corrected by readjusting the carriage. The service interval is calculated using the load factor (LF) with the formula: Service Interval (km) = 2500 / (0.1 + 0.9 LF). The life expectancy is several times this interval.

Carriage Load Capacity
  • L1: 500N
  • L2: 500N
  • MS: 5Nm
  • MV: 14Nm
  • M: 14Nm
Product Features
  • Optional tubular flange for standard PDU2 unit
  • Compatible with most types of coupling, motor, and gearbox
  • Removable carriage plate for customization
  • Adjustable switch bracket for plain beam section
  • Simple belt adjustment
  • Toothed belt drive for accurate high speed and long stroke
  • Multiple carriages on a single unit available
  • High load capacity and speed
  • Internal bumper for end of stroke protection
  • Limit switch and bracket with IP67 rating
  • Corrosion-resistant options available
Drive Connections

The PDU2 can be supplied with a motor or gearbox, with connection kits available for a wide range of motor faces. Bishop-Wisecarver can also manufacture components to fit specific motors and gearboxes, offering assorted motors, optional holding brakes, encoders, and inverter drives.
