Motion limiter: Maximum Load Capacity 500N to 5000N

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision mechanical component integrated into flexure bearing systems to physically constrain the range of motion, preventing over-travel and mechanical failure. It functions as a hard stop or adjustable limit mechanism that maintains bearing integrity under dynamic loading conditions.

Working Principle

Operates through mechanical interference or contact-based stopping mechanisms that engage when the flexure bearing reaches predetermined displacement limits. Utilizes either fixed physical stops or adjustable limit switches to interrupt motion transmission.

Materials

High-strength alloy steel (AISI 4140/4340), stainless steel (316L), or hardened tool steel with surface treatments (nitriding, chrome plating) for wear resistance.
