| One version is basically a single ended, double acting cylinder with precision internal construction for better reaction to side loads and overhanging moments. Special features may include adjustable travel stops, pistons keyed against rotation and speed control. Installing a gripper in line or perpendicular to the piston rod and mounting the body section to a fixed structure or to another linear motion transporter is common. Another version consists of a sliding motion pad attached to a base plate and driven by a built-in pneumatic cylinder. In this version, external loads and moments are taken in guide rods and the cylinder drives the motion pad. Special features may include adjustable and remotely controlled travel stops, speed controls and shock absorbers. All components in the B•A•S•E® ROBOTIC SYSTEM are integrated for combining into many configurations. Figure 3 shows a few possibilities. |
