Lintech provides many different sized positioning tables, each available with lots of standard options.  One option which is not described much in any Lintech literature is that most of the screw driven tables offered can be supplied, in a customized variation, to meet some pretty significant vacuum environments.  

A compression load is a force that tends to compress, or buckle a ball screw shaft.  If a compressive force is applied to a screw that exceeds its column strength, the ball screw will bend and cause premature or permanent failure.  This can happen in either horizontal or vertical applications.  In some cases, you may have to select a more rigid end support housing arrangement, and/or a larger diameter screw in order for the ball screw assembly to withstand your compression load.

If a sufficiently heavy load is applied to a nut with a long ball screw in a horizontal application, the ball screw could buckle.  In a vertical application, if a fixed or rigid motor driven housing is mounted below the ball screw, the ball screw weight and load weight could buckle the screw.  

Therefore, in a vertical application, installing the motor driven support housing above the ball screw puts the ball screw assembly in a tension mode, while the bottom end support bearing is free to “float axially”...

It’s not a big news story that the world’s population is getting exponentially bigger.  With this growth there is a greater demand for modern packaged foods.  A great example is India. It is projected that sales of package foods will almost double from $24.6B last year to $43.7B in 2016.  Many of the world’s largest food packaging conglomerates are ramping up for the worldwide push, and Lintech is there for them every step of the way, providing them parts that make their machines run 24-7, 365 days a year.

Recently, the biggest trend to come out of the food processing is the switch from air-actuated cylinders to electromechanical cylinders.  There are a few reasons for this, but most importantly, going electromechanical is infinitely more reliable than using an air system.  Air systems need to be maintained constantly; if you don’t have clean air to run the system, your machines will not run at peak performance.

It may not seem like a big deal, but trust us, the costs to keep...

Sometimes a standard assembly, linear slide, linear actuator, or positioning system is not the right choice for a particular motion control application.  It may also be impossible, or not practical, to have the system built in house by your own design team.  Let us take a look at your special requirements.  We have been designing and building custom assemblies and positioning systems for over 38 years.  We can use our many years of experience to help you select the right approach to a unique motion control problem.

Lintech provides assistance from system concept, to system design, to complete system manufacture.  Complex projects can include multi-axis motion, instrumentation, large or low load capacities, high speeds, difficult environments, electronic packaging, system software programming, system documentation, and testing.  Stand alone, PLC or PC based control systems can be provided in either step motor or servo motor systems....
