New drive handles small components
With the introduction of a new addition to the SBD Sealed Belt Drive, HepcoMotion is now able to provide performance advantages at an attractive cost to a wider range of automation systems.
It is ideal for inclusion in high-volume and high-speed systems that manufacture or handle small components.
The new SBD 15-60 extends the HepcoMotion range to three sizes and has been developed at customer request. The company has secured significant export business with the SBD product and the new smaller sized addition is expected to prove particularly popular in the Far East.
The new product shares the key features and benefits of the existing SBD range but incorporates a HepcoMotion LBC15 Linear Ball Guide. It is a compact and extremely clean linear solution as it incorporates a flush, metal cover strip that runs the length of the unit and houses the ball guide. This prevents the ingress of dirt and debris, preserving the longevity of the product.
Units are supplied in increments of 60mm up to 6000mm in one piece and unlimited lengths can be achieved by joining the beams. The SBD 15-60 is also available with a long carriage. This option has two LBG bearing blocks in the carriage and has greater load capacity. Re-lubrication of the ball guide carriage blocks is via an access point in the side of the beam that is re-sealed by a threaded plug.
