The new model AZ1040 drive features sag-free stroke lengths without necessitating scaling up to a larger size drive.



The new model AZ1040 drive is the most recent extension to the Amacoil-Uhing (Aston, PA) line of timing belt drives used for smooth linear motion in positioning and indexing applications. Features include:

  • A one-piece aluminum profile extrusion which serves as the belt housing.
  • T-slots and receiver grooves for the load carriage guide bars are incorporated into the profile design.
  • Sag-free stroke lengths without necessitating scaling up to a larger size drive.
  • Belt pulleys that are built-in to the AZ1040 end caps.
  • A load carriage that measures 188 x 160 mm (7.4" x 6.3") and has pre-drilled and tapped payload mounting holes.
  • Maximum travel speed is up to 5.0 meters/second (16.4 ft/sec).
  • A repeatability of +/- 0.2 mm (0.008") over travel spans of up to 2,000 mm (6.5 ft).
