RMU810 In the current environment, high availability production relies on automation solutions that are efficient, fast and easy to implement. Using single-axis and multi-axis applications as a model, Bosch Rexroth shows how this can be achieved in practice.
Whether it’s reducing CO2 emissions, optimizing supply chains, addressing shortages of skilled workers, or developing new business areas, the challenges facing mechanical engineering are diverse. These challenges not only affect the design process, but also the choice of suppliers. To capture the linear drive technology market, you must be able to provide targeted solutions to the pressing problems in the field of automation. The most important question is: how do you perform typical motor tasks as quickly and efficiently as possible?
Perform various tasks easily
In the field of automation, linear transmission technology can be easily applied to a variety of different RMU810 tasks. They are used for a wide range of tasks, including picking, placing, feeding, distributing, positioning, separating, stacking, and even assembly, tightening, and testing. However, machine or system manufacturers cannot easily select individual components from a catalog and then configure and coordinate them. Therefore, we need an intelligently connected portfolio that can digitally select, design and fully configure single-axis, actuator and multi-axis systems. If necessary, these portfolios should also include motors and drive controllers, and even complete intelligent subsystems with software.
Bosch Rexroth offers a modular construction system that includes linear shafts, drive systems and software solutions. Automated processes in the industry will be faster and simpler than ever before. Whether feeding, transferring, palletizing, or loading and unloading, all of these process steps can be performed in a very economical manner with the help of various linear axes.

Economical linear module for handling small parts
Given the wide range of motion requirements, different linear axes can be used for each process step. RMU810 For example, in Bosch Rexlot’s SMS portfolio (compact lead screw drive modules), a small and compact handling shaft is sufficient to feed, transfer or clamp a pallet of small parts in a relatively slow cycle time. Small modules with ball screw assemblies designed for handling small parts, with lightweight aluminum as part of the linear guide, are especially space-saving. Available in five sizes (30, 40, 50, 80 and 120), typical loads of less than 1 to 22kg can be moved efficiently and cost-effectively over distances of 1200mm. As an ideal alternative to pneumatic equipment, the ultra-compact linear shaft also saves energy and reduces maintenance costs.
