High-quality linear systems
High-quality linear systems form the basis for executing straight movements precisely and reliably. We differentiate between linear guides that support such linear movements, linear actuators and worm gear screw jacks. These components are specially designed to actively move a spindle or push rod. Our linear systems offer versatile solutions for the challenges of modern industrial plants and, alongside our drive systems and machine components, form an integral part of linear drive technology.

Linearaktuatoren
Linearaktuatoren wandeln rotatorische in lineare Bewegungen um und bestehen aus einem Motor, Zahnrädern sowie einer Führungsspindel. Wir unterscheiden bei Linearantrieben zwischen Aktuatoren mit Schubstange und Aktuatoren mit offener Spindel. Beide Varianten bieten spezielle Vorteile. Während bei einer offenen Spindel der Hub (Bewegungsbereich) nahezu unbegrenzt ist, bietet die Schubstange im Verhältnis einen kompakteren Bauraum, da die Schubstange komplett im Linearaktuator verschwindet.

Linearführungen
Linearführungen werden benötigt, um präzise Linearbewegungen zu unterstützen. Sie bieten eine reibungsarme und genaue Führung entlang einer Geraden und sind wesentlich für präzise Bewegungen in Maschinen, indem sie die Stabilität erhöhen und die Genauigkeit von Positionierungsprozessen verbessern.
Technische Antriebselemente bietet Linearführungen in diversen Ausführungen: Rollenführungen sind entlang einer Schiene geführt und bieten ein hohes Maß an Flexibilität bei einer hohen Kraftübertragung. Weiterhin bieten wir Kugelumlaufführungen und Präzisionswellen, die eine hohe Genauigkeit gewährleisten, sowie leistungsfähige Gleitführungen, die dank ihrer herausragenden technologischen Eigenschaften komplett ohne Schmierstoffe auskommen.

Spindelhubgetriebe & -elemente
Spindelhubgetriebe kommen zum Einsatz, wenn rotierende Bewegungen in präzise lineare Bewegungen umgewandelt werden sollen, z.B. bei Positionier-, Hebe- und Einstellvorgängen in verschiedenen Branchen. Spindelhubelemente von Technische Antriebselemente können über externe Elektroantriebe oder oder manuelle Drehbewegungen angetrieben werden und als lineare Bewegungsantriebe eingesetzt werden. Dabei wird unterschieden zwischen Hubgetrieben mit rotierender Spindel, bei der eine Mutter die Linearbewegung ausführt, sowie Spindelhubgetriebe mit stehender Welle. Bei dieser Variante treibt eine im Getriebe verbaute Mutter die Spindel linear an. Standardmäßig können Spindelhubgetriebe Lasten zwischen 2kN und 100kN realisieren.

Anwendungsbereiche und Einsatzgebiete
Linearsysteme spielen eine entscheidende Rolle in vielen technischen und industriellen Bereichen. Sie ermöglichen präzise Bewegungen entlang einer geraden Linie und werden vielseitig eingesetzt. In der Gebäudetechnik dienen sie beispielsweise zur Steuerung von Schiebetüren, Fenstern, Lüftungsklappen und Oberlichtern. Im Maschinenbau werden Linearsysteme für Zustell- und Vorschubbewegungen verwendet. In Handlingsystemen, wie in Lagersystemen und bei der Bestückung von Maschinen, sind sie ebenfalls unverzichtbar. Darüber hinaus finden sie in der Schienenfahrzeugtechnik Anwendung, insbesondere in Schienenfahrzeugen mit Linearmotoren, wie beim Transrapid, einigen U-Bahnen und Achterbahnen.

Frequently asked questions about linear systems
What are linear systems?
Linear systems enable precise, linear movements and consist of drive units such as motors, guides and spindles. They are used in mechanical engineering and automation.
What linear guides are available?
There are roller guides, recirculating ball bearing guides, sliding guides and precision shafts. Each variant offers specific advantages such as high load capacities, low friction or freedom from lubricants.
How does a linear guide work?
Linear guides guide movements along a rail or axis. Balls, rollers or special sliding materials minimize friction and increase accuracy.
What are the functions and areas of application of linear actuators, linear guides and worm gear screw jacks?
Linear actuators, linear guides and worm gear screw jacks are key components in motion technology, each fulfilling specific functions. Linear actuators convert rotary movements into linear movements, ideal for precise applications in automation. Linear guides provide low-friction and accurate guidance along a straight line, essential for precise movements in machines. Screw jacks, also used to convert rotary to linear motion, are particularly important when lifting and positioning heavy loads. These different systems are used in various technical areas, depending on the specific requirements of the task in question.
Which components are necessary for the conversion of linear into rotational movements?
Special mechanical components are required to convert linear movements into rotational movements. These include gearboxes, crank mechanisms, worm drives and worm gear screw jacks. These components use linear motion to generate rotary motion, which is used for various applications in machines and devices. Technische Antriebselemente provides you with all the components you need to convert linear motion into rotary motion.
How do linear guideways with spindles work and in which applications are they best suited?
Linear guides with a spindle work by converting a rotary motion into a linear one. This is achieved by a screw that rotates and moves a nut or carriage along a fixed guide rail. This technique provides high precision and control over the movement, which is why it is often used in applications such as CNC machines, automation systems and precision positioning systems. They are particularly well suited to applications where precise linear movements and accurate positioning are required.
