U Guide – Light Series

Motorization by integrated pneumatic cylinder Driving by rack and pinion system Adjustable mechanical stops Hydraulic shock absorbers Inductive sensors The wrist of a manipulator arm These rotary modules are, for example, the wrist of a manipulator arm, the turner of parts on a conveyor or the axis of rotation of an oscillating manipulator. In general, they rotate the gripper that grips the part. These modules are equipped with hydraulic dampers and inductive sensors, the rotation guidance is ensured by 2 ball bearings that allow this module to be used in all directions, even with offcentered payload. Rotary cylinder without angular play at end of stroke The end stops located under the plate allow there to be no shock in the rack and pinion transmission and no angular play at the end of the stroke. The absence of angular play allows use in assembly or precise positioning applications with 2 positions and the absence of impact in rack

For pneumatic cylinders ISO Ø16 and Ø25 Guided on ball bushings Adjustable mechanical stops Manipulator made with your components = competitiveness These linear units make it possible to carry out any translation requiring precision and rigidity, to move up to 15 kg on 1, 2 or 3 axes (handling, assembly, loading, transfer, packaging …). By adding a cylinder with sensors and flow limiters as well as hydraulic shock absorbers from the supplier of your choice, you get a complete module that generally meets the requirements of the panels of suppliers, at a very competitive price.

Guide units for pneumatic cylinders ISO Ø20 to Ø50 For other cylinders (not standardized) Complete guide units, or subsets (bearings, guide rods, rod couplings) to realize a guide adapted to your need and integrated to your machine Materials used in stainless steel guides These guide units are made of 304L stainless steel for environments requiring anticorrosion and resistance to certain aggressive agents.. The scrapers are in thermopolyurethane FDA approved. Polymer bearings are in Iglidur J (dry using) Bronze bearings are impregnated with oil (oil compatible with food processing areas) The ball bushings can be with FDA grease (contact us) Precautions for use in the food industry Despite the materials used, these units cannot however be used in the direct food zone without precaution (in contact with or above food), since there is a retention zone at the level of the rod coupling and that particles or drops may ooze from the guide bearings.

Short bearing housings (cylindrical) Long bearing housings (prismatic) Guide rods Cylinder rod couplings The subsets of this range allow to realize a guide adapted to your need and integrated to your machine. Make your own guide unit To make a guide unit adapted to your needs and integrated into your machine you choose the diameter of the rods according to the load capacity you choose the type of guidance (bronze, polymer or with ball bushings) you choose the guide length (long or short bearings) you choose the distance between the rods according to the application (on your support and your plate) you can integrate any cylinder (type, standard, brand …) you limit the number of parts by directly using a support of your frame and your own end plate You simply have to guarantee a parallelism of the bearing axes by the quality of the surface of your support. A range of bearings, guide rods and rod coupling is also available in stainless steel Guide Type 34X
