Abstract:
A guide rail (12) of a linear guide unit (10) is provided with at least one running rail (16), which has at least two races (16a) that have different load transmission directions. According to the present invention, the running rail (16) is attached to the guide rail (12) by means of roller insertion; in the surface sections (12a) associated with the races (16a) of the running rail (16), the guide rail (12) is provided with a plurality supporting ribs (12a1); and the supporting ribs (12a1) associated with one and the same race (16a) are aligned essentially parallel to the load transmission direction (B) of this race (16a). In addition or alternatively, in a section (12d) that is not intrinsically deformed by the roller insertion of the at least one running rail (16), the guide rail (12) has at least one additional rolled section. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing guide rails of this kind (12).
Abstract:
A rolling-body screw drive (10) comprises a threaded spindle and a threaded nut (12) enclosing the threaded spindle. A helically running threaded channel (16) is provided between an outer circumferential surface of the threaded spindle and an inner circumferential surface (12a) of the threaded nut (12). The threaded channel (16) forms, together with a return channel (22) in the nut (12) which connects the two end regions (16a, 16b) of the threaded channel (16), an endless circulatory channel (24) in which an endless series of rolling bodies is accommodated. Each of the two end regions (16a, 16b) of the threaded channel (16) is assigned a deflecting element (18) which is retained on the threaded nut (12) and has a deflecting channel (20) for transferring the rolling bodies between the threaded channel (16) and the return channel (22). At least one of the deflecting elements (18) is made up of at least two deflecting-element parts (26, 28) which together bound the deflecting channel (20).
Abstract:
A spindle drive unit includes a spindle having a spindle axis and an external circumferential surface and a nut embracing the spindle and being in threaded engagement with the spindle. In an axial end portion of the nut a wiper assembly is removably fixed to the nut. The wiper assembly has at least one sealing ring in wiping engagement with the external circumferential surface of the spindle. The wiper assembly is removably connected to an adapter in a rotationally fixed manner, the adapter in turn being directly and removably connected to the nut in an axially and rotationally fixed manner. The use of the adapter enables the wiper assemblies of various constructions or with different numbers of sealing rings to be attached to a conventional nut.
Abstract:
A process for producing a bearing seat or a drive journal having a large diameter on a rolled threaded spindle is disclosed. The blank of the threaded spindle is hot-upset in the longitudinal direction, such that it bulges radially with respect to the longitudinal direction, a first longitudinal region having an enlarged diameter being provided.
Abstract:
With a guide rail system composed of a guide rail with undercuts and a clamp bar, the ratio kh=h1.5/b is between 0.2 and 0.5, where b is the width of the base surface, and h is the minimum distance between the holding surface and the base surface of the guide rail, and when the ratio is in this range, guidance inaccuracies are reduced.
Abstract:
A thread drive has a threaded spindle, a load-bearing nut that is in screwing engagement with the threaded spindle, a safety nut connected to the load-bearing nut in a manner fixed against relative rotation, which is likewise in screwing engagement with the threaded spindle, the safety nut having at least one contact portion which has no contact with the threaded spindle in a first operating state of the thread drive and has contact with the threaded spindle in a second operating mode of the thread drive, so that in the first operating state there is no electrically conductive connection between the at least one contact portion of the safety nut and the threaded spindle.
Abstract:
A guide with a measuring device has a guide base with a longitudinal axis, a runner guided on the guide base in a direction of the longitudinal axis, a measuring device which measures a position of the runner in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the guide base or a condition of the guide base and having a measuring head arranged on the runner and connectable with an evaluating circuit for sensing the measuring guide, and an adapter plate arranged between the measuring head and the runner.
Abstract:
A rotary bearing has a first lubricant passage having one end which opens in an inner peripheral surface of a radially outer bearing part and another end which is connectable with a lubricant supply, at least one second lubricant passage which leads from an outer peripheral surface of a radially inner bearing part to an inner peripheral surface of the radially inner bearing part, and a ring chamber between the outer bearing part and the inner bearing part, in which the first lubricant passage and the second lubricant passage open the ring chamber, and a lubricant distributing element formed as a separate part arranged on the ring chamber, and is in a lubricant supplying connection with at least one lubricant passage, and outflow paths including a first outflow path for supplying lubricant to the engaging surfaces of the bearing parts, and a second outflow path for supplying lubricant through the second lubricant passage to a further lubricating point.
Abstract:
A guide carriage is guided on a rail track. At the two ends of the rail track, cross-members are mounted. Between the cross-members there extends a drive device. A drive element of the drive device is drivingly connected with the guide carriage. The resultant driving force of the drive device lies outside the longitudinal axis of the rail track. For achieving better acceptance of tilting moments, the guide carriage is guided on the rail track by ball circuits. The rows of supporting balls of the ball circuits bear against rolling tracks, which are formed symmetrically on either side of the longitudinally central plane of the rail track on this track. The force transmission planes of the supporting rows of balls diverge towards the longitudinal plane of symmetry and each make an angle with this plane of approximately 45.degree.. The drive device may, in particular, be mounted laterally of one flange of the U-shaped guide carriage, or above the web of this guide carriage.
Abstract:
A guide carriage for a linear roller bearing is supportable in a longitudinally displaceable manner via at least one row of rollers on a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction, a separate rolling surface part which includes a rolling surface for the rollers is assigned to each row of rollers, and the rolling surface part is connected via an adhesive layer to a carrier body. The adhesive layer is designed essentially planar on the back side of the rolling surface part which faces away from the rolling surface, the rolling surface part being accommodated in a recess—which has an L-shaped cross section—of the carrier body.
