alpha Linear Systems Product catalog
WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH focuses on customer success by providing high-quality, innovative linear systems that enhance efficiency and competitive advantage. The company offers comprehensive mechanical and mechatronic drive solutions, continuously developing new ideas to improve customer processes.
INIRA® simplifies rack assembly with efficient solutions, while cymex® 5 software aids in the dimensioning and layout of drive trains, catering to individual requirements. Comprehensive customer support services are also provided.
The catalog categorizes linear systems into Value, Advanced, and Premium segments, each designed for specific application demands regarding smooth operation, positioning accuracy, and feed force. Systems include:
- Value Linear Systems: For lower requirements, suitable for woodworking machinery and automation.
- Advanced Linear Systems: For average to high demands, applicable in machining centers and automation.
- Premium Linear Systems: For extremely high demands, offering outstanding power density and precision, suitable for laser machines and precision handling applications.
WITTENSTEIN alpha provides complete linear drive solutions emphasizing precision, dynamics, rigidity, and service life. Systems are designed for easy installation and integration, available in various sizes and power categories.
Linear systems are applicable across sectors such as machine tools, food and packaging, woodworking, printing, and robotics, offering innovative drive and assembly solutions for high productivity and reliability.
Preferred systems combine gearboxes, pinions, racks, and lubrication systems optimized for performance, ensuring the best fit for specific requirements.
The R-flange standard in rack and pinion drive trains offers modularity and ease of installation, enhancing rigidity and efficiency.
Benefits include integrating slots in the gearbox flange for easy positioning and reduced mounting effort. The R-flange is compatible with various gearbox series, offering high power density and rigidity.
Different gearbox variants like NPR, SP+ R, XP+ R, and servo actuator RPM+ are suitable for high-performance applications, including right-angle gearboxes for limited spaces.
Pinion variants such as RMK, RMS, RMF, and RMW are designed for specific applications with features like precise toothing and high positioning accuracy.
INIRA® enhances rack assembly with clamping, pinning, and adjusting features, simplifying installation and reducing time.
cymex® 5 facilitates drive train design with a vast database of motors and gearboxes, offering optimization suggestions for cost and space efficiency.
Comprehensive support includes CAD data access, installation assistance, and maintenance services, with a service portal for quick product information access.
Specifications include pinion and rack modules, maximum feed force and speed, gearbox stages, and ratios for customization.
Application-specific dimensioning using cymex® tool allows precise configuration based on specific needs.
Emphasizes checking motor shaft fit and permissible lengths, recommending manufacturer contact for longer shafts, and using specific lubrication systems.
Tables provide detailed measurements and performance data, including maximum feed force and speed, clamping hub diameters, and gearbox ratios.
Highlights the importance of selecting appropriate gearbox versions and options like HIGH TORQUE or HIGH SPEED to meet application demands, with advanced systems available.
Details on grease type, operation principle, maximum pressure, metering volume, number of outlets, operating voltage, and protection class for lubrication systems.
Includes LUC+125 and LUC+400 lubrication systems, hoses, replacement cartridges, and accessories like hose connectors and lubricating pinions.
Rack installation quality affects performance, with INIRA® assembly accessories available for efficient installation.
Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output power to input power, with losses due to friction, decreasing with lower input power or torque and at high speeds.
Products with food-grade lubrication are suitable for the food industry, though with reduced torques compared to standard products.
HIGH TORQUE gearboxes are available for applications requiring high torques and rigidity, with jerk defined as the change in acceleration over time.
Load factor (fs) calculates excess torque values during cyclic operations, and mass moment of inertia (J) measures effort to maintain an object's condition.
Premium and Advanced products are recommended for applications with special safety requirements, with servo actuators combining high-precision gearboxes with synchronous servo motors.
Speed considerations include maximum and thermal speed limits, with synchronization referring to speed variations due to manufacturing tolerances.
Torsional backlash is the maximum torsion angle of the output shaft, while tilting torque results from axial and lateral forces.
Provides formulas for torque, acceleration, and speed, along with a conversion table for units.
Discusses different rack and pinion systems, including single drive, gantry, and master/slave configurations, considering load components like acceleration and frictional forces.
Case hardening enhances rack strength, and an optimized bolt pattern improves compression distribution for high feed forces.
Discusses design and specifications of rack and pinion systems, focusing on transmission of feed forces and importance of pinning racks to prevent overloading.
Details procedures for calculating parameters like pitch circle diameter and axis distance between rack and pinion.
References DIN 867 for standard basic tooth profiles and provides guidelines for calculating parameters in compliance with these standards.
Advises designing mounting bases with thick, rigid geometries and considering rigidity of connection designs and linear guides.
Includes tables comparing gearbox types with specifications like ratio range and torsional backlash, and graphs illustrating relationships between speed, feed force, and rigidity.
Emphasizes maximum feed speed calculation, emergency stop feed force limitations, and importance of dynamic rigidity and natural frequency in system performance.
