The Robotunits Linear Motion Technology consist of our Extrusion and Fastening Technology, as well as a hardened guide rail developed in-house. Single or double idlers are available for the linear motion unit, depending on the load. The quick and modular design saves time in design and assembly. You can find more technical details in our webshop.
Benefits:
- Cost effective and customized axis system
- Short design, assembly and delivery times
- High wear resistance allows smooth and quiet operation

Q & A
Linear Motion Unit Q & A
For the Linear Motion Unit 100 series, the base extrusion is 100 × 100mm (PIL 1010).
For the Linear Motion Unit 50 with Omega Drive, the base extrusion is 50×100 (PIL 5010).
Choosing the appropriate size depends on your load, space constraints, and required structural rigidity. The larger 100 × 100mm extrusion offers higher stability which is beneficial for heavier loads or larger carriage plates.
Positioning accuracy is ±0.2 mm for all variants, excluding any drive backlash.
