SKF has expanded its range of linear drive and motion devices with the launch of a new compact, high precision and high load linear module. Called the CLSM, the new device has been developed for use in a wide range of industrial applications where speed, capacity, accuracy and repeatability are required from a unit with a small footprint.
The new CLSM linear module measures just 92x60mm. It is designed to be motor driven and is available in two versions, with movement being achieved by either a ball screw or lead screw. In each case, stroke length is between 100 and 800mm, with static and dynamic load capacities of 13,300N and 9,500N respectively. Repeatability for the ball screw variant is ±0.01mm, with 0.05mm accuracy over a 300mm stroke.
