Precision double-tube linear units PR-series
Precision and customer satisfaction are our top priorities, so we are all the more pleased when our customers confirm this. "To put it briefly: The linear units make a good impression! Everything fits.” – We got this feedback from our customer who installed our new PD precision double-tube linear units. The new PD series has completely closed and machined carriages and end elements for distortion-free assembly thanks to a special internal spreading technique. Like the previous ILD series, the PD variant is also available as a right-hand or left-hand thread, right-hand and left-hand thread or as a split spindle variant, each with a single or double slide.
tube clamp connectors made in aluminum and stainless steel
The product group “Tube Clamps 1B” contains single-piece and multi-piece parts made of die-cast aluminum or precisioncast stainless steel. These have slitted or multi-piece clamping points that receive typically available rods and precision tubes as per DIN 2391 or square tubes with full surface contact over the entire cross-section or via multiple ribs in the bore. Hex socket cap screws or adjustable hand levers, together with hex nuts, reduce the bore or square cross-section for clamping. The screw and nut can be positioned anywhere thanks to the hexagonal countersinking on both sides. Hand levers are intended for repeated, tool-free clamping. Tube clamps are available in all typical part types, such as cross, base, swivel or flanged clamps, with bore diameters from 20 to 60 mm. The parts can either have identically executed bores or they can mix square and round bores and different dimensions. Smaller diameters can be found in the group “Compact Clamps 1A”. Together with rods and tubes, tube clamps can be used to quickly and easily assemble stable tube constructions that can be flexibly adapted to many different areas of application, such as in handling systems, machine building, warehousing and conveyor systems.
single tube linear units
The group “Single Tube Linear Units 2A” contains linear units made of chrome-plated steel or bright stainless steel precision tubes. Together with linear unit connectors, these form a solid linear round or square guide. The spindle drive in the guide tube transmits the linear movement to a linear unit connector. The linear units are freely configurable and are entirely manufactured by Inocon. Single tube linear units can be divided into four types: Linear units with one guide element: the linear unit connector is moved along the guide tube by the spindle thread. Linear units with two opposing guide elements: two linear unit connectors move symmetrically along the guide tube due to different thread directions. Linear units with two independent guide elements: two linear unit connectors move independently along the guide tube due to separate spindles. Telescope linear units: an outer tube forms the linear unit connector, which is moved along the inner guide tube by the spindle thread. This increases or decreases the total length of the linear units. Possible accessories for the single tube linear units offered in group 2D include handwheels in various designs, position indicators and spacer plates for spindle clamping. The accessories are matched to the nominal diameters of the linear units. The matching linear unit connectors are available in group 2B in all typical part types, such as cross, base or flanged linear unit connectors. Together with the linear unit connectors, single tube linear units can be used to quickly and easily assemble solid linear guides that can be flexibly adapted to many different areas of application, such as for format adjustment and machine building.

Profile linear units
Product information Linear units have been a fixed part of the product selection for many years. A diverse range of designs plus various drive and kinematics options support countless different applications.To cover an even wider range of scenarios, the selection has now been expanded with profile linear units. This new category is particularly suited for the automation of packaging systems. They also offer features that are extremely advantageous in many industrial applications. The new profile linear units are based on precise and especially stable aluminum profiles that can be individually machined. For profile diameter 50, three different guide element drive concepts are available: spindle, synchronous belt or rack-and-pinion. Profile diameter 30 is available with a spindle drive.Depending on the chosen drive concept, additional guide element options are available with respect to the length, clamping capability and the quantity per linear unit.In addition, the guide element’s direction of movement can also be defined. For example, this allows two guide elements to move in the same direction, in opposite directions or independently of each other. In the future, the majority of options listed will be available as standard for ordering via catalog data sheet or online configurator. Many applications can only be optimally implemented with a smart combination of two or more linear units. In such cases, complete solutions for complex movement tasks are available on request.The information provided below represents an example selection of the options and possibilities.We would be happy to advise you on specific solutions – contact us today!
