 Linear Tables LT

Berger Lahr Linear Tables are designed for

automation technology applications.
The table base consists of a very stiff precision
aluminum profile. Through selection and placement
of the guiding, high loads and torques can be
handled. The integrated ball screw makes precise
and stiff feed moves possible as well as high feed
forces at a high positioning accuracy and
repeatability.

Application examples
• Precise and zero backlash feed moves
Requirement for cutting, separating, marking or
the application of glue and seal materials.
• Exact positioning
Sensitive devices such as vision systems, laser
heads, ….for different processes.
• Pick and place
For accurate positioning of heavy parts.
• High feed forces
Which are required for joining and clamping
processes.

Special product features

• High system stiffness due to the special
aluminum base profile.
• Compact outer dimensions, the stroke can be
ordered in millimeter increments.
• Service friendly construction with integrated
central lubrication.
Three sizes are available for different loads. For an

Technical Specifications

Stroke / Travel of the linear table

Upon request, Berger Lahr linear tables are manufactured to a specific stroke length.
Per type there is a minimum stroke and a maximum stroke.
• The stroke is the travel of the carriage between the switch points of the negative and the positive limit switch.
• Next is the safety distance – S, that is available for over-travel until the bellows are compressed. The safety
distances vary and are based on the stroke and the total length of linear table.
• Safety distances min. – max.: LT-100 Æ 7 – 10 mm; LT-150 Æ 12 – 15 mm; LT-200 Æ 17 – 20 mm

2. Positioning accuracy
The positioning accuracy mainly depends on the accuracy class of the lead screw.
A skived IT 7 lead screw is integrated in the standard versions of Berger Lahr Linear Tables,
A skived IT 5 lead screw is available as an option.

Technical Features

Base profile
The base profile is a precision aluminum profile, which has the
following advantages:
• Maximum stiffness with a minimum weight.
• Simple mounting and combination with other modules.
• Compact design, mechanics and sensors are protected.
For surface protection, the aluminum parts are anodized.

Ball screw
A skived lead screw of the quality class IT 7 mechanically
drives the carriage of the linear table. Different pitches are
available.
There are solid lead screw bearings at the motor side and lose bearings at the end.
The ball screw is pre-stressed, the ball nut is protected with wipers. Option: IT 5 quality class ball screw.

Guiding
The integrated linear guiding system is comprised of two guide rails, each with two re-circulating ball bearing
elements with integrated ball chain. This system features high smoothness of running and durability, and this
even with high loads and load forces. The guiding system is pre-stressed, wipers prevent the penetration of dirt.

Central lubrication Limit switches

Regular lubrication intervals are a necessity for a high
durability, especially with high loads and speeds.
A central lubrication point is located at both sides of the
carriage. Depending on the carriage accessibility, the
ball screw and the linear guides can be lubricated via a
lubricating nipple.
Protected in a profile groove, two inductive limit
switches are mounted: The – (negative) limit
switch at the motor end and the + (positive) limit
switch at the opposite end. The limit switch cables
are routed through the front panel and are
available with open ends or with connectors.

Ambient conditions
• Ambient temperatures of – 10° C to + 40° C
• Humidity of ≤ 75% relative humidity annual average / 95% relative humidity at 30
days, no condensation.
• Not suitable for operation in a vacuum (Æ limit switches)
• Storage – and transport temperature of –25° C to + 70° C

Please see the Berger Lahr motor catalogue for additional motor data, additional Berger Lahr motors
upon request.

Motor mounting variants

If possible the motor should be mounted straight .

Advantage: The lead screw can be driven directly via a torsionally
stiff coupling.

Motor mounting straight

Mounting of belt gears

For space reasons the motor can be mounted via a

zero backlash belt gear with the transmission
ratio 1:1.
Motor mounting horizontally left, inside
The belt gear can be positioned horizontally, left
and right, as well as vertically above and below.

Motor mount

Motor mounted on the inside is standard.

Motor mounted on the outside is an option.
