General technical notes and information AGK

Description

• AGK closed-type drive units are ready-to-install drive axes consisting of ball screw assemblies, nut housings, and pillow blocks, as well as an aluminum protective profile with cover strip as an enclosure
• Three coordinated sizes in any length up to Lmax.
• The Rexroth Ball Screw Assembly is optimally protected by the protective profile with steel or polyurethane sealing strip
• Driven by backlash-free, pre-tensioned ball screw assembly in rolled design in accordance with DIN 69051 in the tolerance grade T5 or T7:
• High traversing speeds thanks to large leads with simultaneously high precision over long lengths

Features

• Rapid mounting and easy alignment of the Drive Unit due to the machined reference edge on the Pillow Block Housing
• Optionally selectable traveling screw supports to use in horizontal mounting positions for maximum speeds over longer lengths
• Flexible thanks to selectable options
• Simple motor mounting using centering recess and thread
• Clearly structure technical data for the complete unit as a “linear motion system without linear guide”
• Nameplate with parameters for easy start-up

Product description

The AGK Drive Unit is equipped with a housing and sealing strip. Traveling screw supports optionally allow for maximum speeds, even at large strokes. With the AGK Drive Units, economical drive solutions with very low construction and production effort and short delivery times can be realized. All the expectations of maximum speed, protection against environmental influences, and operational safety are optimally provided for in a single unit.

Structural design

• Pillow block (fixed bearing)

• Ball screw assembly (BSA) with backlash-free, cylindrical single nut

• Sealing strip made of steel or plastic

• Nut housing

• Strip fixing

• Pillow block (floating bearing)

• Screw support (SPU)

• Protective profile

Attachment parts

• Removing the motor attachments with flange and coupling or via a timing belt side drive

• Mounting kits for motors according to customer specification

• Maintenance-free servo motors with selectable brake and integrated feedback

• Switches (magnetic sensor), switch activation without additional switching lug

• Socket and plug

Patented screw support (SPU)

The screw support SPU provides the following benefits:

• Screw supports can be selected as a standard option

• Maximum speed over long lengths

• Screw supports guided in the protective profile

• Elastomer buffer provides cushioning between the carriage and screw support

• Screw supports are maintenance-free

• Screw supports are protected by a cover

• The screw support is designed for horizontal operation only

Overview of the switching system

1 Socket and plug

2 Magnetic field sensor

Switch mounting

1 Switch (magnetic field sensor) with fixed potted cable

2 Set screw for retention

3 Cables

The switch activator is a magnet that is integrated in the nut housing (no switching angle needed).

The switching positions can be freely adjusted via the stroke.

Version

• Hall sensor (PNP-NC contact) or

• Reed sensor (changeover)

Instruction for mounting

• Insert the sensor (1) with set screw (2) outwards in the upper T-slot of the housing.

• Set the switching point and fix the sensor with set screw (2).

• Press the signal line (3) into the upper or lower cable line of the T-slot, thereby fixing it.

See instructions for more specific notes on mounting and switching positions.

Socket-plug additional component

Mounting orientation

Depending on the requirements, different arrangements of the socket and plug are possible.

Attach socket to the AGK protective profile

• AGK-020:

Insert the socket into the lower T-slot on the protective profile and fix it with two set screws.

• AGK-032, AGK-040:

Insert the socket into the upper T-slot on the protective profile and fix it with two set screws.
