The SIMO Series linear motion platform is a linear motion solution designed to be versatile, flexible, and affordable. With a SIMO qualified linear rail at the core of the system, the tolerances can hold 6x less bow, 2x less twist, and 2x better flatness, allowing these rails to maintain machined precision at aluminum extrusion prices.
The Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation (SIMO®) utilizes synchronized cutters to qualify the critical mounting and running surfaces of a range of linear motion rails. The resulting products within the SIMO Series offer flexibility and provide options which allow design engineers to meet multiple application requirements within a single platform. With multiple bearing and drive choices, and multiple assembly options that are all interchangeable within the same dimensional geometry, the SIMO Series Linear Motion Platform can be configured and optimized for a single axis or combined to create a multi-axis XYZ system. Our customers can test multiple configurations from different options such as:
Whether you have a stepper, smart-stepper, or servo motor, each one can easily be integrated within the SIMO Series Linear Motion Platform. Engineers can utilize a variety of Ethernet-based communications with a range of motors, satisfying the increased need for linear actuators to adapt to different environments. Different motor option may include:
Now with pre-engineered alignment and a simple, step-by-step process, you can easily combine mechanical and electrical advances together with SIMO Series motor mount kits from PBC Linear.
Lead screw-driven steps include:
Belt-driven steps include:
Easily adapt to changing requirements depending on, load, speed, accuracy, environment, life considerations. Application examples include medical, automation, industrial, cartesian systems, as well as small compact applications.
