CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The system supports three drive types: ball screw (type 1), linear motor (type 2), and belt drive (type 3). The default configuration is ball screw. Each type offers different performance characteristics in terms of speed, acceleration, and accuracy; consult the manufacturer for application-specific recommendations.
With linear encoder feedback, positioning accuracy is ±0.02 to ±0.05 mm, and repeatability is ±0.01 to ±0.02 mm, both measured per ISO 230-2. These values are reference ranges; actual performance depends on the specific configuration and installation.
The system is designed for operating temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. Below 0°C, special lubrication may be required. The protection class ranges from IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529, with higher IP ratings recommended for dusty or wet environments.
The rails and drive components are made from carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and precision ball bearings. These materials provide structural integrity and low-friction movement. Specific material grades should be confirmed with the manufacturer for your application.
