Heavy duty linear units D-Line

Product catalog summary
Overview: The D-Line series by RK Rose+Krieger introduces a new range of heavy-duty linear units designed for handling systems managing heavy loads. These units utilize BLOCAN® heavy-duty profiles and advancements in aluminum-alloy technology, reducing weight by approximately 35% compared to conventional steel units while maintaining high dynamic performance.
Specifications: The D-Line units are modular and customizable, featuring guide shafts or ball rails, and timing belt or rack systems. Made from extruded aluminum, they are available in standard lengths of 6 meters, extendable up to 14 meters. They include timing belts with steel reinforcement, precision-class guide rails, and sealed ball bearings, offering positioning accuracy of ±0.15 mm per 300 mm travel.
Load Capacities: Detailed load data is provided for various configurations, such as the D-160x320 model, which can handle forces up to 30,000 N and torques up to 6,880 Nm, depending on the axis and configuration.
System Components: The D-Line includes components like guide shafts, pulley boxes, and safety units (KPE, KEC, KEC-S) for holding and braking linear axes, ensuring safety during power failures or emergency stops.
Standards and Compliance: The document references the European Machine Directive 98/37/EG, emphasizing compliance with updated safety standards by 2009, particularly for applications involving vertical axes.
Applications: Suitable for gantries, linear robots, machining centers, and integrated production systems, the D-Line units offer flexibility in design and assembly with accessories and standardized components.
Conclusion: The D-Line series provides a robust solution for heavy-duty applications, combining lightweight construction with high load capacities and modular design, making it a versatile choice for modern industrial automation.
Additional Specifications: The document details power track chains and D-Line system components made from black PVC, including cover profiles, dirt and dust protection, and cable fixing in slots. D-Line products are compatible with RK standard linear units.
Examples of System Configurations: Various configurations are outlined, such as the X-axis D-Line 160x320 with ball rail guide and timing belt drive, and Z-axis with different timing belt units or rack and pinion systems.
Heavy Duty Linear Units: Lists various gantry stand variants (Gantry 1 to Gantry 8) for heavy-duty linear units.
Enquiry Form: Includes fields for company details, contact information, installation position, drive system, guide type, ambient factors, transversing speed, path, load data, positioning accuracy, and service life.
Product Ranges: Covers Linear Technology, Profile Technology, Connecting Technology, and Module Technology, offering a wide range of products from manual adjustment units to complete drive solutions.
Index: Includes an index of components such as accessories, ball rail guides, connecting elements, and various slot stones.
Disclaimer: Notes that while efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, no responsibility is accepted for errors or omissions, and modifications may occur without prior notice.

Heavy duty linear units D-Line Heavy duty linear units D-Line The STRONG dimension in handling systems for heavy loads has a name: D-Line This whole new range of linear units is based on BLOCAN® heavy-duty profiles (D-profiles). D-Line puts into practice all the advantages of the latest developments in aluminium-alloy technology. This ensures a low specific weight, thus keeping the drive unit as small as possible – which is of great benefit when using axis that operate in sequence. Increased dynamic performance for the efficient use of short cycle times. FEM calculation helps to create highly-efficient...

Heavy duty linear units D-Line The guide body of the linear unit consist of extruded aluminium profiles from the familiar BLOCAN®- system range of D-profiles. These are supplied in standard lengths of 6 m. See the max. travel data in the ordering tables. It is technically possible two join two profiles to each other at the ends to obtain a greater stroke length (of up to 14 m). You should however consult with our Technical Department before doing so. Optional fixing holes can be made in the guide tables to customer specifications on request. Technical description

Heavy duty linear units D-Line D-Line system components Brakes / Holding of linear axes Holding This means, when the machines is switched off, e.g. the Z-axis is moved to its initial position and then it is secured against falling down. In this way, it will be possible to replace for instance the motor or the gear unit easily. Slowing down That means, if the power or control unit fail or an emergency switch off is caused, the axis will be slowed down during its travel. Holding of linear axes Typical machine with linear axes are gantries, linear robots, machining centres and integrated production...

Heavy duty linear units D-Line D-Line System profiles Heavy duty with maximum stability The basis of the heavy duty linear units are the wellknown heavy duty profiles from the product range group BLOCAN® - Profile assembling system. The aluminium profiles 80x80, 80x160, 80x240, 160x160, 160x240 and 160x320 mm combine very high bending and torsion resistance with relatively little weight. This way, even big gantry cranes and machine support structures that used to be mounted exclusively on steel structures, can be now built with lightweight aluminium profiles. By means of DIN slot stones add-on...
