Electric sliding table is a kind of linear sliding table. It is often called electric cylinder and linear module in the industry. It is composed of a combination of linear sliding table and motor drive. The automatic linear movement of the workpiece is realized by motor drive. The combination of multiple direction axes composes the motion actuator on the equipment, which is often called: industrial manipulator, XYZ axis manipulator, coordinate axis slide table, etc.

Electric sliding tables are widely used in various industries, such as:

Entertainment industry: robotic arms and joints, dynamic seats, etc.

Military industry: simulated aircraft, simulation, etc.

Automobile industry: pressing machines, testing instruments, etc.

Industrial industry: food machinery, ceramic machinery, welding machinery, spraying equipment, lifting platform, medical instruments,etc.

The transmission difference of the linear slide module:

The ball screw drive means that the motor drives the ball screw to rotate through a coupling or a synchronous pulley, and then pushes the slider fixed on the linear guide to move forward and backward.

The ball screw has the characteristics of high positioning accuracy, low friction, high rigidity and strong load capacity. But to achieve precise positioning.

In terms of speed, it depends on the speed of the motor and the lead of the screw. The larger the lead of the screw, the larger the moving speed of the single-axis manipulator slider under the same motor output speed.

The synchronous toothed belt drive is driven by the motor to drive the driving wheel of the synchronous belt to rotate, and then the belt drives the straight line

The slider on the guide rail moves back and forth. The synchronous toothed belt has the characteristics of low noise, fast moving speed and low cost.

In terms of speed, generally higher speeds than ball screws can be achieved. At the same time, there is no critical speed limit, and it is more cost-effective in long-stroke transmission. But the positioning accuracy of the synchronous belt drive is lower than that of the ball screw.

After understanding the two types of sliding table modules, both have their advantages and disadvantages, you can choose the appropriate module according to your needs.
