PRECISION, DYNAMICS AND SPEED
Linear axes are essential components in automation technology and offer reliable solutions for precise linear movements over long distances. Spindle axes and toothed belt axes in particular have proven themselves in this area. Spindle axes are characterized by their high precision and feed forces, ideal for applications that require accuracy and load capacity. Toothed belt axes, on the other hand, score points with their high dynamics and speed, making them perfect for fast motion sequences and large working areas. Discover the advantages of both axis types and find out how you can take your production efficiency to a new level with the AMS and AMB series.
OUR EXPERTISE – YOUR ADVANTAGES
High forces and torques
In combination with the integrated guide rail, the optimized axle profile enables maximum absorption of forces and torques.
Optional drivetrain
The drivetrain, which consists of a clutch, gearbox, motor, drive control system and other accessories, is available upon request.
Maximum movement speeds
The optional spindle support enables high speeds even at long stroke, allowing for gentle high feed speeds.
Short cycle times
Maximum speeds of up to 5 m/s and acceleration of up to 50 m/s² are possible.
Integrated clamping element
The optional clamping element allows high clamping forces without interference contours or longer overall lengths.
Linear axes with toothed belt drive
THE TECHNICAL FEATURES IN DETAIL
Carriages
The AMB series features three carriage lengths and up to two carriages per axis, which reliably support their loads. Numerous threads with locating holes and centering sleeves support reproducible mounting. Thanks to the magnets installed as standard on the carriage, optional magnetic field sensors can be easily integrated – even at a later date.
TOOTHED BELT DRIVE
Designed for maximum speeds and acceleration levels, the linear axes with toothed belt drive are particularly well-suited for applications that require high dynamics, short cycle times and a large stroke. They also excel in terms of drive torque and high skip-proofing.
GUIDANCE SYSTEM
The recirculating ball guidance system provides unrivaled load capacity and durability. Lubrication ports on both sides of the carriage ensure easy maintenance in any installation situation. This also allows the use of automated lubrication systems.
Clamping element
(optional)
For additional safety, the toothed belt axes can be supplied with or without integrated clamping, depending on the requirements. The optional clamping element fits perfectly into the carriage. This means that there are no interference contours or increases in overall length. Thanks to the NC design, the position can be held securely without compressed air – saving energy and costs.
Cover strip and strip guide
(optional)
The optionally available cover strip reliably protects the inner workings of the axis from external influences such as dust and dirt and helps to minimize maintenance and lubrication requirements while also extending the service life of the axis. By snapping into the axis profile, the cover strip securely seals the profile against dust and dirt and reliably holds it in position.
DRIVETRAIN
(optional)
The linear axis with toothed belt drive from the AMB series can optionally be supplied with a drivetrain including coupling, gearbox, motor and drive control system, as well as other accessories. The symmetrical design ensures simple connection of the selected and coordinated drive components in four possible positions.

THE AMS SERIES IN DETAIL
Carriages
The linear axes with spindle drive from the AMS series features two carriage lengths and up to two carriages per axis, as well as threaded and centering holes for reliable and reproducible mounting options.. Thanks to the magnets installed as standard on the carriage, optional magnetic field sensors can be easily integrated – even at a later date.
SPINDLE DRIVE
The spindle axes feature precision, rigidity and high feed forces. Thanks to the ball screw drive nut, they enable low-friction and precise movements. With up to four spindle pitches per installation size, the axes can be optimally adapted to the corresponding application.
SPINDLE SUPPORT
(optional)
The innovative, modular spindle support effectively prevents the spindle from vibrating at high speeds, thereby enabling maximum traverse speeds, even with large strokes.
CLAMPING ELEMENT
(optional)
For added safety, the spindle axes can be supplied with or without an integrated clamping element, depending on the requirements. The optional clamping element fits perfectly into the carriage. This means that there are no interfering contours or increases in overall length. Thanks to the NC design, the position can be held securely without compressed air – saving energy and costs.
COVER STRIP AND STRIP GUIDE
(optional)
The optional cover strip reliably protects the inside of the axis from external influences and helps to maximize its lifespan. The cover strip clicks into the axis profile, sealing it securely against dust and dirt and holding it reliably in position.
DRIVETRAIN
(optional)
The AMS series can be optionally supplied to suit your application with a complete drive train including a coupling, motor and drive control system, as well as other accessories.
