Understanding Your Linear Stage Chapter 2

Component Descriptions

Item Name Notes

1 Ground Screw and Ground Label Use the labeled M5 x 0.8 - 6H ground screw to connect the linear stage to a facility safety ground.

2 Bearing Lubrication Ports These capped ports provide access to the linear bearings without dismantling the linear stage. In addition, these

tapped holes (M10 x 1.5 -6H) can be used to secure lifting hooks (not provided).

. Carriage

This is where your load mounts. The carriage has both mounting holes and pilot guide holes.

4 Top Cover This protective cover has magnetic edges that keep the upper edge of the strip seals in place. A cover is an option on

the direct drive linear stages.

5 Side Cover These protective covers have magnetic edges that keep the lower edge of the strip seal in place. Side covers are an

option on the direct drive linear stages.

6 Cable Carrier Module This assembly contains the power and I/O wiring for direct drive linear stages. It facilitates quick and easy replacement

of this wear item. It is available as a spare part.

7 Stainless Steel Strip Seal These replaceable flexible stainless steel strips permit the linear stage to move while isolating the internal mechanism

of the linear stage from the users environment. Keep the strip seals clean, and never apply a lubricant as this attracts

contaminants.

8 Seal Guide These guides lets the strip seal to move smoothly around the carriage of the linear stage.

9 Seal Strip Clamps These clamps hold the strip seal in place. When replacing the seal strips, they are used to position it so it lays smooth

against the top and side covers.

10 Magnetic Encoder Readhead This encoder readhead has a 5 micron resolution and very low maintenance needs.

11 Encoder Strip Part of the encoder system that provides magnetic encoded polarities to the encoder readhead.

12 Bearing These support bearings guide the carriage on the bearing rail and require periodic lubrication.

13 Bearing Rail These rails provide the linear track that the carriage assembly rides on, they must be kept free of debris.

14 Motor Coil This coil is part of the two piece linear motor. When it is excited by a drive, it generates magnetic forces that interact

with the magnet track creating motion.

15 Magnet Track This track of powerful static magnets is the other half of a linear motor.

16 Ball Nut Lubrication Port This capped ports provide access to the ball nut without dismantling the linear stage.

17 Ball Screw Shaft This is part of the mechanical power system on ball screw linear stages. This shaft must be kept free of debris.

18 Ball Nut Transfers mechanical power from the ball screw shaft to the carriage. It requires periodic lubrication.

19 Side Cover Support These supports stabilize the side cover on long linear stages.

20 Rotary Motor A Rockwell Automation MPLS rotary motor drives the ball screw mechanism. It is a specially configured MP-Series

rotary motor, and is available as a spare part.

21 Air Port Provides an external air supply connection for a ball screw linear stage. A maximum of 270 kPa (40 psi) of pressurized

air can be applied to minimize the ingress of particulates from a dusty environment.
