TCL/TCM Series Tri-rod Cylinder
Product Features
- 1. Standards: JIS standard is implemented.
-
2. Guide Rods: Two specialized guide rods (Linear Bearing or Bronze Bearing) provide high non-rotating accuracy and side load capacity.
- TCL (Linear Bearing / Ball): Suitable for push actions requiring high precision and low friction.
- TCM (Bronze Bearing / Slide): Suitable for withstand radial loads and impact. It has more than twice the lateral load resistance of the linear bearing type and greater torsional stiffness.
- 3. Integrated Design: The drive unit and guide unit are in the same body. No extra accessories are needed, saving space.
- 4. Precision Mounting: The bottom and front face of the body have two precise positioning holes for high-precision installation.
- 5. Sensors: There are 4 sensor slots on the body, offering various mounting options.
- 6. Flexible Installation: The special body design provides multi-directional mounting fixation.
