The load capacity is listed as 50–500 kg at rated speed and life. However, the actual capacity depends on the specific model, guideway type, and operating conditions. Always verify with the manufacturer for your application.
The carriage can be used with ball screw, belt, or linear motor drives. The choice depends on speed, precision, and load requirements. Confirm compatibility with the supplier.
Positioning accuracy is ±0.01 to ±0.05 mm, and repeatability is ±0.005 to ±0.02 mm, both per ISO 230-2. Higher accuracy may require ball screw or linear motor drives. Verify with the manufacturer for the exact model.
The carriage can be made from aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or carbon steel. Aluminum is lighter, while steel offers higher rigidity. The choice affects weight and performance. Confirm material options with the supplier.
