Compact Linear Systems Modular and Comprehensive Solutions for Space-Conscious Applications www.thomsonlinear.com A REGAL REXNORD BRAND

Let’s Build Your Ideal Linear Solution Specifying multiple components for a linear motion system design can sometimes come with obstacles – delays, misapplications, additional costs and a general uncertainty about your selections just to name a few. Take the guesswork out of this process with Thomson compact linear systems. You’ll be able to work closely with our experts to mix and match our trusted components for a tailor-fit solution.

Compact Linear Systems Modular To Match Your Needs With our compact linear systems, there is no "one size fits all" model. Your application requirements will determine the selection and sizing of components that go into configuring your ideal solution. • Choose from our wide standard offering of lead screws, linear bearings, guides and more. • If one of our three standard architectures (see next page) don't meet your design specifications, we can work with you on a completely "from scratch" system. • Mounting blocks can be machined to virtually any shape or size. No matter how simple or complex...

Standard Configuration Options After decades of working closely with customers and learning which solutions best meet their application needs, we’ve utilized our knowledge to configure three linear system options to cover most design requirements. Narrow/Vertical Configuration (CLSV) Wide/Horizontal Configuration (CLSH) Achieve a smaller footprint by vertically stacking the screw and profile rail bearing. Achieve a shorter system height by horizontally arranging the lead screw and profile rail bearing. A.Thomson lead screw and motor (MLS) B. Thomson profile rail and carriage C. Thomson anti-backlash...

Compact Linear Systems Round Rail Configuration (CLSR) Achieve a cost-effective solution capable of withstanding high moment loading by using a dual round rail guidance system. Linear System Design Tips Consider the environmental conditions under which the system will operate, including temperatures, dust and dirt levels, chemical exposure, washdown processes, vibration and shock load, and radiation. When defining the direction and magnitude of your load, the system orientation can be important. With a horizontal orientation, the drive load is equal to the payload weight times the frictional...

Linear Motion Solutions Your Way With more than 75 years of experience in solving linear motion challenges, Thomson engineers understand that not every design or application is straightforward. Considerations such as spatial requirements, harsh environments or conditions, and heavy or unbalanced loads can significantly affect component selection and sizing. Our engineers also appreciate that design engineers often have to work on tight timelines. All of these factors were top of mind when developing Thomson compact linear systems. Compact Linear System Components Integrated Stepper Motor Lead...

Compact Linear Systems Given our collaborative and thorough approach to helping you reach your ideal compact linear system, you might assume this level of customer service comes at a premium. However, you’ll be pleased to know that these configurable systems have been created to maximize efficiencies in not only time and accuracy but cost as well. You won’t need to waste time listening to sales pitches. Thomson application engineers’ only concern is solving your design challenges with the ideal compact linear system. In building a Thomson compact linear system, you can configure a unit or combination...
