Specifically for automation solutions in areas where condensation and drips form due to environmental or manufacturing conditions, RK Rose+Krieger has expanded its range of toothed belt-driven linear axes of the RK MonoLine type with a fully corrosion-protected version in the common size 80.

The compact linear units of the RK MonoLine series from RK Rose+Krieger impress with high power density and very good price-performance ratio. Designed especially for high-dynamic, repeat-accurate pick & place, palletizing, as well as loading and unloading processes in the medium load segment, they combine high stiffness with smooth operation, a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.05 mm, and a maximum acceleration of 20 m/s².

Comprehensive protection against corrosion

In the new corrosion-protected RK MonoLine Z80, RK Rose+Krieger not only replaced all parts made of steel in the standard version with stainless steel components. For the toothed belt, a corrosion-resistant material was also chosen: it consists of polyurethane with stainless steel cord (HTD 8M RF LL). Additionally, pre-drilled drain holes are provided for vertical use of the axis in the belt deflection, which can be opened by the customer if needed to allow condensate to drain.

Typical applications of the corrosion-protected RK MonoLine include automated extraction systems for injection molding or compression molding machines, where water mist, condensation, and subsequent dripping water are to be expected.

Numerous practical features

Like all axes of the RK MonoLine Z series, the new corrosion-protected linear unit features a versatile mounting concept compatible with nearly all motors on the market. This means that the motor position no longer needs to be fixed at the time of order. It can also be adjusted later to suit the current situation. Optional clamping and T-slot strips reduce design effort and facilitate customer-specific customization. Profile rails offer maximum flexibility for attaching customer-specific accessories such as energy chains, hose holders, or limit and proximity switches for end position shutdown. The payload is securely attached via T-nuts with threaded holes available in the accessories. For the user, this means reduced design effort, lower assembly costs, and faster installation.
