Manufacturer profiles associated with Y-Axis Carriage & Drive.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The travel length ranges from 500 to 3000 mm, with custom lengths available. The exact travel length must be specified based on the application requirements and confirmed with the manufacturer.
The drive system can be a ball screw, rack and pinion, or linear motor. The choice depends on the required speed, accuracy, and load capacity. Each drive type has different characteristics, so the selection should be based on the specific application needs.
Positioning accuracy is ±0.02 to ±0.10 mm, and repeatability is ±0.005 to ±0.02 mm, both per ISO 230-2. These values are reference ranges and may vary depending on the drive type and feedback system. Verify the actual performance with the manufacturer for the specific model.
The operating temperature range is -10 to 50 °C, and the protection class is IP54 to IP65 per IEC 60529. For dusty environments, a higher IP rating is recommended. Below 0 °C, special lubrication may be required. Always confirm the suitability for your environment with the supplier.
