Cost-effective Kinetic linear modules on short lead times
Jena Tec is introducing a new range of high-performance linear modules to the UK market to complement its existing range of heavy-duty HD and VT linear actuators, precision-ground and rolled JT series ball screws and spindle assemblies.
The new Kinetic range of linear modules is based on the Jena Tec philosophy of providing custom options for linear module length on a quick lead time at a competitive price. 3D models are available on request for customers to evaluate and build into their CAD system design.
The Kinetic range can provide linear motion of over 6m in length and with a choice of drive system options such as pneumatic, ball screw, planetary roller screw, belt or high-speed linear motor. The construction uses rugged anodised aluminium extrusions that are designed within a family of sizes, enabling Jena Tec to supply a modular system specifically to the customer's requirements in terms of drive system, dimensions, accuracy, load capacity and speed. Each range, independent of drive system, has multi-sided T slots to enable excellent flexibility for fixing units in position.
While this is of benefit to factory automation and system designers and builders, it is also a key factor in satisfying the requirements of the aftermarket. Jena Tec claims that it is able to offer and match an equivalent unit to replace existing linear actuators of a similar construction. Another development is the introduction of packaged linear motor modules and digital motor and drive card options.
Particularly successful in the field of pharmaceutical, medical, electronics and process industries, the Jena Tec Kinetic range provides designers, process and maintenance engineers with an array of possibilities for improving system performance.
