TCL / TCM Series Tri-rod Cylinder
Product Features
- JIS Standard: Implements strict JIS production standards.
-
Specialized Guide Rods: Equipped with two specialized guide rods providing exceptional non-rotating accuracy and resistance to lateral loads.
- TCL (Linear Bearing / Ball Bearing): Ideal for push actions requiring high precision and low friction.
- TCM (Bronze Bearing / Slide Bearing): Excellent for withstanding radial loads and impacts. It offers more than twice the lateral load resistance of the linear bearing type and superior torsional stiffness.
- Integrated Design: The drive unit and guide unit are housed within the same body, eliminating the need for extra accessories and saving significant space.
- Precision Mounting: The bottom and front face of the body feature precise positioning holes for accurate, high-precision installation.
- Sensor Compatibility: Includes 4 sensor slots on the body, offering versatile mounting options.
- Flexible Installation: The unique body design facilitates multi-directional mounting and fixation.
