Linear units / linear guides Linear units are used in almost every single area of automation and machine engineering. From simple adjustments that may be seldom required, right up to highly complex, highly precise and highly dynamic multi-axis systems. Every task is different. And every task requires a technically accomplished, cost-effective solution. RK linear units – variety offers the ideal solution The wide range of RK linear units is the result of the variety of customer applications. What used to be referred to as 'special applications' have now become readily available, attractively priced standard modules. It is therefore likely that the ideal RK linear unit for your particular application already exists.

RK Rose+Krieger has expanded its range of electric cylinders with the introduction of an additional electromechanical heavy-duty cylinder: the SLZ 63. Thanks to its square shape, slots in the external profile and fitting dimensions according to DIN ISO 15552, the SLZ 63 can be integrated flexibly into a wide range of customer-specific applications.

The completely equipped electrical cylinder unit includes the motor transmission unit, along with the motor brake, two-channel Hall-IC sensor and two end-limit switches. All connection lines run directly out of the unit to make configuration and initial start-up easier, particularly for PLC operation. The fixation of the electric cylinder connections is compatible with commercial pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders.

Electric cylinders are self-locking. So they do not need energy when they stand still. This makes the electric cylinders to be an interesting alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Powerful DC motors, signal lines, potentiometers and Hall-ICs for position indication, as well as integrated end switches uncomplicatedly serve for meeting the most frequent requirements.
