Long-stroke axes
LINEAR ACTUATORS FOR YOUR HANDLING PROCESSES
PRECISION, DYNAMICS AND SPEED
Long-stroke axes are essential components in automation technology and offer reliable solutions for precise linear movements over long distances. Spindle axes and toothed-belt axes in particular have proven themselves in this area. Spindle axes are characterized by their high precision and feed forces, ideal for applications that require accuracy and resilience. Toothed-belt axes, on the other hand, score with high dynamics and speed, making them perfect for fast-motion sequences and large working areas. Discover the advantages of both types of axes and find out how you can take your production efficiency to a new level with the AMS and AMB series.
OUR KNOW-HOW - YOUR ADVANTAGE
High force and torque
In combination with the integrated guide rail, the optimized axle profile enables maximum absorption of forces and torques.
Optional drivetrain
The drivetrain, which consists of a clutch, gearbox, motor, drive controller and other accessories, is available upon request.
Maximum travel speeds
The optional spindle support enables high-feed speeds, even with long strokes in a gentle manner.
Short cycle times
Maximum speeds of up to 5 m/s and accelerations of up to 50 m/s² are possible.
Integrated clamping element
The optional clamping element enables high clamping forces without interfering contours or longer overall lengths.

Long-stroke axes with toothed-belt drive
The AMB series in detail
Slides
The AMB series impresses with three slide lengths and up to two slides per axis, which can reliably support high loads. Numerous threads with fitting holes and centering sleeves support reproducible mounting. Thanks to the magnets installed as standard on the carriage, optional magnetic field sensors can be easily integrated - even at a later date.
Toothed belt drive
Designed for maximum speeds and accelerations, the belt-driven linear axes are ideal for applications requiring high dynamics, short cycle times and large strokes. In addition, they offer high drive torques and a high degree of skip protection.
Guidance System
The recirculating ball guidance system provides unrivaled load capacity and durability. Lubrication ports on both sides of the carriage ensure easy maintenance in any installation situation. This also allows the use of automated lubrication systems.
Clamping Element
For added safety, the toothed belt axes can be supplied with or without an integrated clamping element, depending on the requirements. The optionally available clamping element fits perfectly into the slide. This means that there are no interfering contours or increases in the length. Thanks to the NC design, the position can be held securely without compressed air, thus saving energy and costs.
Cover strip and strip guide
The optional cover strip reliably protects the inside of the axis from external influences and helps to maximize its service life. The cover strip clicks into the axis profile, sealing it securely against dust and dirt and holding it reliably in position.
DRIVETRAIN
The linear axis with toothed belt drive from the AMB series can optionally be supplied with a drivetrain including coupling, gearbox, motor and drive controller, as well as other accessories. The symmetrical design ensures that the selected and coordinated drive components can be easily connected at four possible positions.

The AMS series in detail
Slides
The linear axes with screw drive of the AMS series impress with two slide lengths and up to two slides per axis, as well as threaded and centering holes for reliable and reproducible mounting options. Thanks to the magnets installed as standard on the slide, optional magnetic field sensors can be easily integrated – even retrospectively.
SPINDLE DRIVE
The spindle axes stand for precision, rigidity and high feed forces. The ball screw nut enables very low-friction and precise movements. With up to four spindle pitches per size, the axes can be optimally adapted to the corresponding application.
SPINDLE SUPPORT
The innovative, modular spindle support effectively prevents the spindle from vibrating at high speeds, thereby enabling maximum traverse speeds, even with large strokes.
CLAMPING ELEMENT
For added safety, the spindle axes can be supplied with or without an integrated clamping element, depending on the requirements. The optionally available clamping element fits perfectly into the slide. This does not result in longer slides or interfering contours. Thanks to the NC design, the position can be held securely without compressed air – this saves energy and costs.
