PIC now offers a comprehensive line of linear motion systems, either pre-assembled or as complete component sets for user assembly. Specifying these PIC products is a smart, cost-effective approach for a wide spectrum of applications. Single sourcing eliminates the need for extensive, expensive component and system design and time-consuming searches through different |
manufacturers' catalogs for all required designs and sizes. Because all PIC linear motion systems feature.
PIC linear motion systems are available in both inch and metric sizes. They are designed from standard, in-stock, precision products, and are backed by the PIC reputation for quality and service. |

System and Component Selection Information
PIC offers ten standard linear motion systems. Each system is available in either inch or metric sizes and a wide range of dimensions. Choosing the system that best suits the application is normally a function of the design engineering department. The information provided in this section will enable users to select all standard PIC components required for the chosen system and application.
To select the appropriate components for a system, all loads and the magnitude and direction of forces for the application must first be determined. This information will aid in the selection of the appropriate linear bearings to carry the load and provide the desired system life. After determining the bearing load and evaluating shaft deflection, the designer can select the necessary components from the PIC standard parts listed for each system.
Many factors are involved in the selection of a linear motion system and its components. The steps usually required for such selection are as follows:
1. Selection of the type of system that best suits the application
2. Calculation of system loading and bearing selection
3. Determination of shaft deflection
4. Selection of other system components
5. Selection of lead screw assemblies (systems 7 through 10). |
