Caged Ball LM Guide Actuator Model SKR-6

SKR-A SKR-B SKR-C SKR-D This is the typical SKR model. This is the model in which two nut blocks of the SKR-Amodel are provided to achieve higher rigidity, higher load capacity, and higher precision. This is the model in which the full length of the SKR-Amodel nut block is shortened to have a longer stroke. Note that the SKR3320 model has no short type block. This is the model in which two SKR-C model nut blocksare provided. By placing two blocks, it achieves high ri- gidity within the application limits. Note that the SKR3320 model has no short type block. 5 >

P L P R The SKR-type LM guide actuators with Caged BallTechnology consist of the LM guide, ball screw,and support bearing. Table 4 shows the ratedloads. > P T P T LM guide section The SKR-type can carry loads in all directions, i.e., the radial, reverse-radial, and two lateral directions. Thebasic rated load is the same in these four directions and their values are shown in Table 4. > ? Ball screw section The SKR-type can carry loads in the axial direction since it incorporates a ball screw nut in the nut block. The basic rated load value is shown in Table 4. > ? Support bearing The SKR-type...

The precision of the SKR is determined by repetitive positioning accuracy, positioning accuracy, backlash, and travelingparallelism. > Repeat the measurement seven times from the samedirection to a certain point. Divide the maximum difference by two. Conduct the same test at three points, the centerӔof the stroke, and on both the approximate maximum andminimum positions of travel. Add > t 1 to the largest difference.This accuracy is generally measured with a laserinterferometer and sometimes with a dial-gauge.(Taken from THK Accuracy & Measurement Standards.) > t 2 t 3 Figure. 8 Repetitive Positioning...
