Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides an overview of Zimmer Group's advancements in linear technology, focusing on clamping and braking elements. Key innovations include the UBPS series with integrated valves, the LBHS series using residual stress for braking, and the expansion of the RBPS series.

UBPS Series with Integrated Valve
The UBPS series features an integrated valve that significantly reduces response times and braking distances, enhancing safety in emergency stop situations. The valve's proximity to the braking element allows for a 56% faster closing time compared to traditional external valves. This design ensures safe braking during energy failures and reduces air consumption.

LBHS Series: Residual Stress Braking
The LBHS series introduces a world-first technology that clamps and brakes without moving parts. This hydraulic braking element uses a single functional component, leveraging the residual stress of the base body to generate braking and holding forces. The design is FEM-optimized and suitable for all types of carriages, offering high rigidity and reliability.

RBPS Series Expansion
The RBPS series, known for its effectiveness as fall protection for round guides, has been expanded to include new sizes for heavy load applications. The series now accommodates shaft diameters up to 60 mm, providing substantial holding forces through a wedge-type gear mechanism.

Diverse Product Range
Zimmer Group offers a comprehensive range of clamping and braking elements, including both hydraulic and pneumatic options for various linear rails and carriage widths. The LKP series and its NC version, LKPS, are notable for their pneumatic clamping capabilities, while the LBPS series provides pneumatic braking with integrated spring load accumulators.

Product Overview
The document includes a detailed product overview, highlighting the holding forces and specifications of various clamping and braking elements. The products are categorized by their operation type (manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, electric) and guide compatibility (profile rail, circular, shaft guides).

Conclusion
Zimmer Group continues to lead in linear technology with innovative solutions that enhance safety and efficiency in industrial applications. Their products are designed to meet diverse needs, offering reliable performance across a range of environments.

UBPS WITH INTEGRATED VALVE FASTER CLOSING TIMES IN EMERGENCY STOP SITUATIONS INTEGRATED VALVE MAKES BRAKING AND CLAMPING ELEMENTS FASTER Zimmer Group uses valves in the braking elements for its UBPS series that shorten response times and braking distances and improve safety. In machining and handling systems, braking elements handle a core safety function since they ensure that machines and systems come to a stop as quickly as possible in an emergency. The response time of the braking element is of key importance here, because the faster the system comes to a stop, the less damage there will...
