What Is a Linear Track?
A linear track consists of a rail and a table, and becomes a device that can smoothly transport a rail shape without vibration by means of a ball or other means. The linear track itself has no propulsive force, so propulsive force must be provided by ball screws, cylinders, or manual power for the attachment. There are a wide variety of line wraps available depending on the method of mounting tables and rails, size, and allowable load.
Uses of Linear Track
Linear trucks are used to transport cargo on production lines in various industries. They are particularly suitable for transporting precision equipment because they can transport it without vibration. When selecting a linear track, it is necessary to consider the length of the rails, the size of the table, the allowable load, the allowable speed, the low vibration during operation, and the mounting method. When introducing the system, it is necessary to design it keeping in mind that the linear track alone does not have propulsive force.
Features of Linear Track
The linear track consists of a rail in the shape of a construction letter, a ball embedded in the groove of the rail, and a table that is joined to the groove and can move smoothly without vibration on the rail. The ball installed in the groove is a special ball that allows the table to move smoothly and without friction on the rail. The table has threaded holes and other holes for easy joining of syringes and ball screws.
As the allowable load increases, the rails become wider and can support larger loads by reducing the load on the rails. The rails can be customized to move larger loads by joining a stage or other equipment to the table. Many rail mounting methods have been developed, such as mounting from the top, bottom, or side, allowing the user to select from a wide range of options according to the equipment and facilities to be used. Many products are made of stainless steel or carbon steel, which exhibit very effective properties against corrosion and friction.
