  • Page 189: Concept Of Life For Belt Type

    10.1 Concept of life for belt type 10.1 Concept of life for belt type The mechanical life of the belt type is represented by that of the linear guide receiving the greatest moment load. The operation life of the linear guide is to be determined by the total driving distance reachable without flaking (peeling on rail surface) in 90% of a group of products operated under the same conditions.
  • Page 190 10.1 Concept of life for belt type For "Standard load coefficient fws", "Load coefficient fw" and "Mounting coefficient fα", refer to the contents below for configuration and selection. [Standard load coefficient fws] For ELECYLINDERs described in this manual, calculate with fws = 1.2. [Load coefficient fw] This coefficient allows consideration of the effects on life due to operating conditions.

  • Page 191: Relation Between Operation Life And Moment

    10.1 Concept of life for belt type 10.2 Concept of life for controller Relation between operation life and moment The operation life depends on the moment acting on the slider. With a light load, it may be longer than 5,000km, the standard rated life. With no consideration of vibration and mounting conditions, the operation life is 40,000km according to the calculation with the formula on the previous page, assuming that 0.5 C (half of...
