The strong axis for high payloads is reliable and highly dynamic. If the focus is on high rigidity, positioning accuracy and reliability, cantilever axis EHMH is just right. Rack and pinion technology ensures that high payloads of up to 200 kg are moved very dynamically, and that a long service life is reached.
Installed in handling systems, the EHMH masters applications such as palletising and stacking in the packaging and automotive industries or unloading and loading machine tools with precision and ease.
Pneumatic locking unit
The pneumatic locking unit ensures a form-fitting, hard mechanical lock during standstill, for example for commissioning or carrying out maintenance.
Clamping unit
The frictionally engaged clamping unit directly on the guide rail acts as an emergency brake.
External displacement encoder
An incremental measuring method is used for additional position detection and can be used as a second channel in safety applications.
Double-sided scraper
Having scrapers on both sides protects the axis from external contamination, such as dust, dirt particles and liquids. This significantly increases the service life of the roller guide in the guide carriage, and also extends the maintenance intervals.
Covered drive pinion
The covered drive pinion not only protects it against contamination, but also protects the operator from contact, which could potentially result in pinched fingers, for example.
Energy chain
Mounting an energy chain is a neat and tidy way to ensure that the flange plate is supplied with energy and data. It helps to protect the cabling and tubing, significantly reduces wear and tear and increases their service life.
Central lubrication point
A single connection is sufficient to distribute the lubricant to all required locations on the drive pinion and guide carriage.
Additional lubrication pinion
Together with the central lubrication connection, an additional lubrication pinion made of rigid foam ensures that the gear rack and pinion are optimally lubricated even during operation.
Mounting kit for sensors
The mounting kit for sensors comprises a mounting strip including two switch lugs and sensor brackets for end position detection. The sensors themselves are available as accessories.
End-position buffer
End-position buffers cushion the impact in vertical operation to prevent damage to the axis, e.g. during set-up.
Noise reduction
The foam lining in the steel profile makes the axis particularly quiet.
