Linear Module Selection Guides
Practical engineering guides for choosing and sizing linear modules and multi-axis systems, based on real HS LINEAR module data.
Ball screw vs. belt drive: how to choose
Accuracy, speed, stroke and load of both drives compared with real module data.
Gantry, cantilever or moving-arm: choosing a multi-axis system
Stiffness, working area, payload and access of the three common structures.
How to size a linear module
Payload, motion profile, thrust, lead, moments and motor – with formulas and a worked example.
Linear module vs. electric cylinder
When the load must be guided by the axis – and when a push rod is enough.
