LM Guide Actuator KR

Product catalog summary
Construction and Features
The LM Guide Actuator combines an LM guide and ball screw into a high-rigidity, high-precision actuator. It features a four-way equal load rating, suitable for applications like Cartesian coordinate robot arms, and is designed for space efficiency with a U-shaped cross-section.
Models
Four main models are available: KR-A, KR-B, KR-C, and KR-D, each offering different configurations for rigidity, load capacity, and stroke length.
Rated Load and Static Permissible Moment
The actuator can handle loads in radial, inverse radial, and lateral directions, with specific rated load and permissible moment values for each model.
Life Span
Details on the rated life span calculations for the LM guide, ball screw, and supporting bearing are provided, including factors like contact factor, load factor, and moment equivalent factor.
Maximum Travel Speed and Length
Specifications ensure the actuator meets operational requirements for speed and length.
Accuracy Standards
Standards for repeat positioning accuracy, backlash, positioning accuracy, and travel parallelism are specified to ensure high precision.
Outline Dimension Drawings
Detailed drawings for various models, including seals, options, and sensor configurations, are provided.
Seals/Options
Specifications for bellows and block types offer customization options.
Sensors
Information on photosensors, proximity sensors, and sensor rails is included.
Housing and Adapter Flanges
Details on housing and adapter flanges ensure compatibility with various motors.
X-Y Bracket
Model numbers and dimensions are described for integration into complex systems.
Specifications and Load Analysis
Detailed specifications and load analysis for a ball screw system are provided, focusing on load conditions like uniform motion, acceleration, and deceleration.
Load Calculations
During uniform motion, the combined radial and thrust load is 627 N, increasing to 1826 N during acceleration and 249 N during deceleration. The static safety factor is 33.9.
Axial Load and Safety Factors
The highest axial load is 76 N during forward acceleration, with a static safety factor of 122.2.
Critical Speed and DN Value
The critical speed is 1560 min-1, and the DN value is 31125.
Rated Life Span
The ball screw's rated life span is 3.32×107 km.
Accuracy Standards
Accuracy standards for the ball screw system ensure precise operation.
Outline Dimension Drawings
Dimension drawings for various models are provided.
Conclusion
A summary table highlights key evaluation results, including static safety factor, buckling load, permissible tensile compressive load, critical speed, DN value, and rated life span.
Specifications and Adapter Flanges
Specifications for adapter flanges used with KR stepping motors are detailed, including dimensions and configurations.
Handling and Lubrication
Proper handling and lubrication are crucial, with specific greases recommended and advice against mixing lubricants.
Precautions on Use
Foreign material ingress should be avoided, and the product should not be used above 80°C without consulting THK.
Storage and General Information
Storage guidelines and general information, including potential changes in product appearance and specifications, are provided.

Standard model of KR. Two KR-A nut blocks are provided to achieve higherrigidity, higher load capacity, and higher precision. Shorter KR-A nut block to achieve longer stroke.(Applicable models: KR30H, 33, 45H, 46) Two KR-C nut blocks are provided. Because this modelallows provision of a span suitable for equipment, high rigidity can be achieved.(Applicable models: KR30H, 33, 45H, 46) 5 >
