The main parts of linear modules that use aluminium are as follows

Housing/guide rail: The housing and guide rail of Linear Modules are usually made of aluminium alloy. Aluminium material has a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, good thermal conductivity and other characteristics, is very suitable for linear modules as a structural component.

Slider/carriage: linear module slider or carriage parts are also often made of aluminium alloy. Aluminium alloy has good machining performance, can produce a high precision slider.

Support frame: The support frame of the linear module is usually made of aluminium alloy to provide stable support for the whole module.

Connectors: The connectors of linear modules, such as flanges and bearing housings, are also widely made of aluminium alloy. Aluminium alloy has good processability and assemblability.

In general, linear modules use a large number of aluminium alloy materials, mainly has the following advantages:

Light weight: the density of aluminium alloy is only about 1/3 of steel, which greatly reduces the weight of the entire linear module. This is conducive to achieving higher dynamic performance and load capacity.

Good machinability: Aluminium alloy has excellent machinability, which allows the manufacture of high-precision linear module components, such as guide rails and sliders. This helps to improve the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the whole module.

Corrosion resistance: Aluminium alloy has good corrosion resistance, which can effectively prevent the linear module from being corroded by environmental factors in the process of use. This extends the service life of the module.

Thermal conductivity: Aluminium alloy has high thermal conductivity, which is conducive to the timely dissipation of heat generated by generators, gearboxes and other heat sources to maintain the stability of the working temperature of the linear module.

Recyclability: Aluminium alloy is an environmentally friendly material that can be recycled, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost and energy consumption of linear modules.

Beautiful appearance: Aluminium alloy can be anodized and sprayed to enhance the appearance of the linear module and increase its competitiveness in the market.
