Electric carriage NLC 40

linear

Overview
NLC 40 combines an electric cylinder and linear guide mechanism in a single body. Its moving table allows direct load mounting while providing controlled linear motion, stable guidance, and a compact machine layout.

Key tagline
Precise motion. Balanced load guidance.

Main features

• Integrated linear guide reduces the need for an external guide.
• Moving mounting table enables direct and secure load mounting.
• Ball screw drive (12×5) for controlled and repeatable linear motion.
• Compact body (Size 40) suitable for compact machinery.
• Anti-rotation protection to limit unwanted rotation of the moving mounting component around the axis.
• Servo motor compatible for drive integration.

Product design and benefits
The moving table and linear guide form an integrated mechanical arrangement that helps protect the drive mechanism from lateral forces and simplifies the machine layout by removing the need to design and align a separate external guide.

The NLC 40 difference — Cylinder and guide in one unit
NLC 40 guides the load throughout travel, enabling assemblies that would otherwise require separate cylinder, guide, and mounting components to be simplified into a compact machine module. Compared with a standard electric cylinder, NLC 40 offers:

• Fewer mounting and alignment operations
• More controlled load transfer
• More compact machine layout

Design considerations
Correct selection requires evaluation of the complete motion profile. Guide capacity depends on stroke, mounting orientation (horizontal or vertical), dynamic load and cycle time, and the distance from the load centre to the guide axis.

Applications

• Pick-and-place systems
• Assembly automation
• Part transfer
• Testing and inspection stations
• Dosing systems
• Vertical lifting modules
• Packaging machinery
• Compact OEM machinery

Frequently asked

• What is a guided electric cylinder? An actuator that combines an electric linear drive with an integrated linear guide mechanism to guide the load in the same body.
• How does NLC 40 differ from a standard electric cylinder? NLC 40 integrates a moving mounting table and linear guide to guide loads and prevent rotation, reducing the need for a separate external guide.
• How is linear guide capacity determined? Selection must consider stroke, mounting orientation, acceleration, cycle, and distance from the load centre to the guide axis together.
