Linear module

Abstract

A linear module characterized in that it consists of: two parallel cylindrical linear guides (4), mounted blindly in the main connector (1) on one side thereof and in the auxiliary connector (6) on the other side thereof; two bilateral parallel mounting screws (5), mounted in the main connector (1) on one side thereof and in the auxiliary connector (6) on the other side thereof, wherein the main connector (1) comprises a hole for mounting the module on a structural element or mounting rail; a carriage (7) mounted via linear bearings (3) on linear guides (4), in which there is a through hole (8) in the central part. The movement of the carriage (7) on the linear guides (4) is forced by the housing displacement mechanism, and its position is determined by means of a displacement sensor (2) located on the main connector (1).The housing displacement mechanism consists of: two toothed pulleys (11) located on the auxiliary connector (6); two toothed pulleys (11) located on the main connector (1). An extension of one of the toothed pulleys (11) located on the main connector (1) is a crank (12). All toothed pulleys (11) are coupled to each other by means of a toothed belt (9), the ends of which are attached to the carriage (7).
