Synchronous belt linear module

Working Principle

The motor (servo or stepper motor) drives the driving wheel of the synchronous belt to rotate, and then the slider on the linear guide rail is driven by the belt to move back and forth. Usually, the linear module of the synchronous belt is specially designed, and the tightness of the belt movement can be controlled on one side to facilitate the debugging of the equipment in the production process.

Belt: is the key component to achieve transmission, usually the use of high-strength, wear-resistant synchronous belt, its tooth shape and the tooth groove of the belt pulley match to ensure the accuracy and stability of the transmission.
Linear guide: used to support and guide the movement of the slider to ensure that the slider can move accurately along the straight direction, with high precision, high rigidity and low friction characteristics.
Aluminum alloy profile: As the main structure of the module, it has the advantages of beautiful appearance, reasonable design, good rigidity and reliable performance, and can provide a stable installation basis for other components.
Coupling: Used to connect the motor shaft and the driving wheel shaft of the synchronization belt, to transfer torque and compensate for the installation error between the two axes.
Motor: that is, the motor provides power for the module, common servo motor and stepper motor, can be selected according to the actual needs of the appropriate motor type and power.
Photoelectric switch: used to detect the position of the slider, to achieve accurate control and positioning of the slider movement, can set the origin, limit and other functions.
Slider: is a load bearing component, fixed connection with the belt, sliding on the linear guide rail to achieve the linear movement of the load.
