Linear Motor Drives LCx made of carbon
First standardized RCC axes for high-speed assembly
Excellent dynamics and repeat accuracy

Compact system design

The RCC linear modules in the LCx series from SCHUNK are
the world’s first standardized linear motor axes made of
reinforced carbon composite (RCC) and weigh 58% less
than comparable modules made out of aluminum. They
can be accelerated and moved in an extremely fast and
energy-efficient fashion. The reinforced carbon composite
material and a special interior structure and filling make
the axis extremely light and durable at the same time. Due
to the higher elasticity modulus of RCC, they are also superior to aluminum profiles in terms of bending and torsional
stiffness. Its excellent internal damping reduces vibrations
and ensures outstanding dynamic stiffness. If the material
heats up during operation, it will retain its shape.

Lightweight modules in the LCx series use proven highspeed LDx high-speed modules from SCHUNK. Their excellent dynamics and repeat accuracy are thanks to a servoelectric linear motor drive that give them an edge over
competing products, especially for high-speed applications
in assembly automation. Since the motor, measuring
system, and linear guide are integrated into the axis profile
or slide, they are extremely compact and require very little
space. The standardized carbon axes come in two versions:
The LCN version with a simple X profile and the LCM with a
wide double X profile for medium loads.

High speed and high precision!
Huge dynamics and shorter cycle times.
