Definitions
- the invention relates to a bearing device in linear actuators.
- Such actuators are used for example when transferring goods or workpieces from one place to another in a workshop.
- FIG. 1 illustrates one part of a linear actuator, with a bearing device according to the invention in perspective
- Figs 2 and 3 are different perspective views of a slide bushing which forms a part of the bearing device.
- a linear actuator has been illustrated as an example in Fig, 1, said linear actuator comprising a hollow profile rail 1 in which rail is arranged a slide member 2.
- Said slide member 2 can be moved backwards and forwards in the hollow profile rail 1 by means of a cog belt 3, said belt running over a cog wheel 4, which wheel in turn is connected to the drive shaft of an electric motor, not shown.
- the slide member 2 is connected to a plate 5 which is arranged on the outside of the hollow profile rail 1, to which plate components of different kinds can be connected, depending on the intended function of the linear actuator.
- a sealing strip 6 fits the hollow profile rail 1 tightly, preventing dust and dirt from penetrating into the hollow profile rail.
- the hollow profile rail 1 is provided, on two opposite sides, with flat guiding surfaces 7,8 (shown only on one side in Fig. 1) . In pairs, these guiding surfaces 7, 8 form an angle with one another. Between the hollow profile rail 1 and the slide member 2 slide bushings 9, 10 and 11, 12 are arranged in pairs corres ⁇ pondingly. These slide bushings are, as is more closely illustrated in Figs 2 and 3, configured with a flat face 13, said flat face 13 being designed to abut against any of the guiding surfaces 7, 8, and the slide bushings 9,
- the slide bushing 9, 10, 11, 12 is provided with a notch 17 in its curved face 14. Into this notch 17 a stopping means, not illustrated, will engage, said stopping means protruding from the seat 15, 16 in the slide member 2, the stopping means being arranged to prevent the bushing 9, 10, 11, 12 from sliding out of the slide member 2 when the slide member 2 moves inside the hollow profile rail 1.
- the slide bushing 9, 10, 11, 12 is preferably provided with one or several transverse grooves 18. As illustrated, these transverse grooves 18 preferably cross each other in pairs in the flat face 13 of the slide bushing 9, 10, 11, 12. These transverse grooves 18 are designed to prevent too strong a suction effect from generating between the flat face 13 and the guiding surface 7, 8, which could lead to adherence, which, among professionals is usually called the "stick- slip-effect".
- the bearing device thus has the ability to absorb tolerances during the moving of the slide member 2 through the hollow profile rail 1 because of minor torsions of the slide bushings 9, 10, 11, 12 to one side or the other in their seats 15, 16.
- the slide member 2 is configured with a pair of legs 19, 20 which, by means of threaded pins 21, 22, can be pulled apart somewhat to eliminate or minimise a play, if any, between the slide member 2 and the hollow profile rail 1.
- the guiding surfaces 7, 8 can be placed at a certain distance from each other and consequently the slide bushings 9, 10, 11, 12 in their seats 15, 16 can also be placed at corresponding distances from each other. Further, the guiding surfaces 7, 8 can extend at an angle towards each other instead of, as illustrated, away from each other, and consequently the slide bushings 9, 10, 11, 12 can extend at an angle away from each other instead of, as illustrated, towards each other.
- the invention can of course be used in other linear actuators than the one illustrated and described, for example in such linear actuators where the slide member 2 is moved by way of a feed screw instead of a cog belt.
