Broadening linear motion scope for
applications
By balancing precision and price, linear motion products range offers advanced linear motion technology to more applications, such as general handling and positioning, to light machinery.
By balancing precision and price, Rexroth's expanded eLINE range now offers the benefits of advanced linear motion technology to a broader spectrum of applications from general handling and positioning tasks, to light machinery Responding to customer demand, Rexroth has also grown the eLINE range to include linear bushings, shafts and ball screw assemblies

Cylinder series covers wide performance spectrum
The new series of hydraulic cylinders from Rexroth has an innovative modular design.
To reduce costs, Rexroth used its years of manufacturing experience to optimize proven production techniques and exploit new technologies and materials.
As a result, eLINE products now offer greater economy, minimising upfront investment (from selection through to installation) and operating costs.
By using innovative manufacturing techniques to reduce products costs, designers no longer need to compromise a system's technical performance due to cost.
Instead, eLINE provides the opportunity to exploit the long-life, low-maintenance characteristics of ball bearing technology in many more application environments.
ELINE can also help manufacturers reduce costs during system assembly thanks to its ease of installation.
The ball rail systems can be mounted on relatively uneven surfaces and, thanks to their cantilever mounting, eLINE linear bushings and shafts reduce assembly time and effort.
Also, the bushing can be simply pressed into the mounting bore, eliminating the need for complicated retaining fixtures.
During selection, eLINE ball screw assemblies can be ordered as plug-and-play units with pre-machined screw ends, ball nuts and end bearings.
These ball screw assemblies also offer multiple length/lead/ball nut combination options, providing low-cost solutions for different applications.
To improve convenience during selection and dimensioning, Rexroth's eLINE catalogues have been structured so designers can quickly identify appropriate models and sizes, further reducing design time and costs.
Applications for Rexroth eLINE ball rail systems, linear bushings, shafts and ball screw assemblies include pick-and-place product assembly systems.
