Linear Technology Industry
Sized motion for measurement tasks, load cycles and repeatable tests.
Test benches need actuators with predictable mechanical behavior. S+R aligns force, speed, feedback and duty cycle with trial, endurance run or single measurement.
Typical tasks
Which motion needs to work reliably in this application?
positioning axes
endurance tests
functional testing
custom test benches
Requirements
Sizing starts with the environment, not with the nameplate.
repeatable position
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
defined force range
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
measurement and feedback signals
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
endurance or S3 operation
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
replaceable interfaces
This affects the design, spindle, motor, sensors, protection class or service access.
S+R solution route
Project requirements become a robust motion solution.
translate test goal and load case
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
select ball or trapezoidal screw
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
align feedback and end positions
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
provide documentation for operation and repeated testing
The decision is documented so engineering, purchasing and service can understand why this route was selected.
Technology building blocks
Proven design principles as a basis for individual solutions.
AP, SP and XP are not a rigid product logic; they are typical ways to build force line, installation space, protection and control.
Application images
Views of assemblies, installation space and real operating environments.
The images show typical tasks in this industry: installation space, interfaces, drive position, mounting and environment become visible directly at the component.
