RK Rose+Krieger has expanded its EP(X)II twin tube units by adding a size 30 version. Higher precision and lower tolerances of the mounting surfaces to one another are the key features that characterise the new improved version of the EP/EPX linear units for the occasional through to the frequent movement and positioning of medium to high loads in any assembly position. The robust twin tube unit compensates for high bending moments during manual and motor-driven adjustments, is compatible with its predecessors and is easier to maintain and clean. Contributing towards the ease of maintenance is the new lead nut concept: the split lead nut enables simple replacement in the case of wear and tear – no need to dismantle the linear actuator.
With the presentation of the RK DuoLine 120 Z at Motek 2011, Rose+Krieger unveils a new timing-belt-driven version of its successful RK DuoLine linear guide product range in size 120. The DuoLine range now offers five different linear units: sizes 160 and 80, available as both a timing-belt and a spindle-driven version, and the new RK DuoLine 120 Z.
