alpha Linear Systems − complete drive solutions under one roof

Our unique knowledge extends from the coupling of gearboxes, motors, rack and pinion to outstanding system solutions. We offer solutions perfectly designed to meet your specific needs in terms of the smooth running, positioning accuracy and feed force of linear drives. Our innovative mounting concepts such as R-Flange and INIRA® complete the systems.

To meet the needs of customers even better, we have expanded our portfolio in the Value and Advanced segment, adding racks with a length of up to 2 m. Depending on the application you can now choose from 2 x 1 m and 1 x 2 m versions.

Benefit from maximum performance across the board:

  • Maximum precision
  • Highest dynamics
  • Optimum rigidity
  • Maximum service life
     

Adapted to the most diverse requirements

The new Premium Linear System for applications with extremely high demands in terms of smooth running, positioning accuracy and feed force replaces the existing Performance and High Performance Linear Systems. Appropriately scaled Advanced Linear Systems and Value Linear Systems are offered alongside our Premium Linear Systems for other feed force, positioning accuracy and smooth running requirements.
