Configurable Telescopic Linear Units

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides comprehensive information on configurable telescopic linear units, specifically the VT1S and VT1W models. It includes technical instructions, application examples, and an online configurator for customization and ordering.
Specifications
The linear units are available in chrome-plated steel and stainless steel, featuring a guide nut moved axially by a threaded spindle with ball bearings. They operate in temperatures from -20°C to +100°C.
Technical Instructions
Key technical aspects include:
  • Positioning precision: ±0.1 mm per 300 mm stroke.
  • Repeatability: ±0.05 mm.
  • Guidance accuracy: Steel as per DIN EN 10305-4, chrome-plated.
  • Backlash on reversal: 0.2 mm for trapezoidal and fine thread spindles.
  • Self-braking: Due to the pitch angle being smaller than the angle of friction.
  • Lifespan: Depends on load, speed, and temperature.
Ordering Process
The process involves four steps:
  1. Select linear units based on size, material, stroke, thread direction, and spindle pitch.
  2. Choose accessories affecting stud lengths.
  3. Order customized linear units.
  4. Order accessories separately.
Accessories
Available accessories include:
  • Handwheels (VZH) for manual operation.
  • Clamping plates (VZK) to lock the spindle.
  • Position indicators (VZPM/VZPE) for monitoring positions.
  • Torque supports (VZDR) for installing clamping plates and position indicators.
VT1S and VT1W Models
VT1S: Features a continuous spindle with ball bearings, adjustable for low backlash, and can be clamped in place. Accessories must be ordered separately.
VT1W: Similar to VT1S but with a side drive offset by 90 degrees. Also requires separate accessory orders.
Conclusion
The document provides guidance on selecting, configuring, and ordering telescopic linear units and their accessories, allowing users to tailor products to their needs.
Overview of Components and Accessories
This section details the specifications and usage of various components and accessories, including clamping plates, position indicators, and torque supports.
1. Clamping Plates (VZK)
Used to secure spindles after movement, preventing shifts. Made of black powder-coated die-cast zinc with zinc-plated steel inserts. Requires torque support for installation.
2. Mechanical Position Indicators (VZPM)
Show distance traveled by linear units, mounted using an adapter bushing. Made of ultrasonically welded polyamide, resistant to temperatures up to 80°C, oils, and solvents. Require torque supports.
3. Electronic Position Indicators (VZPE)
Display position electronically, powered by a long-life battery. Temperature-resistant up to 50°C, with IP 67 protection rating. Require torque supports.
4. Torque Supports (VZDR)
Prevent rotation of attached clamping plates and position indicators. Made of black anodized aluminum, ensuring a secure fit through a radial groove.
Key Specifications
  • Clamping plates and position indicators are RoHS-compliant.
  • Position indicators available in mechanical and electronic versions, with customization options.
  • Torque supports are essential for accessory stability on linear units.

Positioning Prescision The positioning precision indicates the amount of deviation with which a specific position can be reached. The table indicates the maximum occurring deviation. The repeatability indicates how precisely a position can be reached multiple times under identical conditions. In general, the repeatability is higher than the positioning precision because manufacturing tolerances have no influence on the repeatability. With the trapezoidal and fine thread drives used, the repeatability is ±0.05 mm. The precision guide tubes of the linear units are made of steel as per DIN EN 10305-4...

Telescope linear units PRODUCT INFO The tubes of telescope linear units VT1S are made of chrome-plated steel or bright, seamless stainless steel precision tubes. A continuous spindle with ball bearings on each side is installed in the guide tube. The attached spindle nut transmits the linear movements to the telescope tube, initiating an adjustment of the telescope linear unit travel distance. The guide tube is fitted with sliding inserts and forms a solid linear round guide together with the telescope tube. The linear unit can be adjusted for low backlash or clamped in place via the slitted...
