What Is a Linear Module?

A linear module is an integrated motion system that combines a linear guide, ball screw or belt drive, and motor mounting platform, used for precise linear positioning in automation equipment.

What Types of Linear Modules Do You Offer?

We offer ball screw-driven linear modules, belt-driven linear modules, and electric actuators, each designed for different speed, accuracy, and load requirements.

How Do I Select the Right Linear Module for My Application?

Key factors include required stroke, load capacity, positioning accuracy, speed, drive method (belt or ball screw), and environmental conditions. Our team can help with technical selection.

Can Linear Modules Be Customized?

Yes, we provide custom options for stroke length, motor interface, mounting configuration, protection level (e.g. dustproof), and other specifications to meet unique application needs.

What Maintenance Is Required for Linear Modules?

Regular lubrication of the guide and drive mechanism, checking for wear or misalignment, and keeping the module free from dust or debris ensures smooth and reliable performance.

KK Series Linear Module KK86 Ball Screw Linear Actuator KK60 Linear Motion Module

Linear module (linear module/linear sliding table) is an automated motion unit that integrates linear guides, ball screws (or synchronous belts), and drive units, achieving high-precision linear or curved motion through modular design. The core components include: Transmission components: ball screw , synchronous belt (suitable for long stroke) or gear rack (heavy-duty scenario); Guiding components: steel linear guide rail; Drive unit: servo motor, stepper motor or cylinder.

Linear Module Performance Advantages

1. High speed response and stability

Adopting a dual axis guide rail and chrome plated axis design, it has the characteristics of low friction and high rigidity, supports frequent start stop and smooth operation, and has lower noise than traditional transmission devices.

2、 Protection and Durability

Fully enclosed dust-proof technology, the new module uses sealing tape and contact components to effectively prevent external dust from entering the interior of the base, and automatically cleans up attached dust during movement, extending the service life of the equipment

3. Corrosion and rust resistance characteristics

The aluminum alloy material slider and axis support seat are treated with anodizing, and the axis is plated with hard chromium, which has both rust prevention and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for harsh industrial environments.

4. Customized modular design

The slide rail and slider can be supplied separately, and the worn parts support complete interchangeability, reducing maintenance complexity and costs in the later stage.

5. High cost-effectiveness

Compared to linear motors, linear modules adopt standardized structural design, with lower production costs, and can expand load capacity through rigid guide rails, covering light to heavy load scenarios.

Linear Module Selection

1、 Core performance parameters

Load: dynamic load, static load

Maximum speed: Synchronous belt module can reach 5m/s (such as GTB series), ball screw module is usually ≤ 1.5m/s

Effective travel: Requires 10-15% over travel protection distance to avoid mechanical limit collisions

2‌.、Body size and material

Module width: determines load capacity

Installation length: needs to match effective travel and mechanical limit space

Sliding block type: flange type (flat width design) or square type (high rigidity design)

Protection level: Fully enclosed module>Semi enclosed module>Open module

3、 Environmental adaptation parameters

Temperature compensation: Precision scenes require the configuration of grinding grade screw rods

Corrosion resistance: anodized aluminum+chrome plated shaft, suitable for acidic and alkaline environments

Dustproof design: stainless steel sealing tape+automatic dust cleaning structure (suitable for dust-free workshops)
