Everyone knows that being too heavy has never been healthy. That's why we put our MJ5 linear drive from the MJ series on a strict diet. Now it's slimmer than ever before. The result is impressive.
Small example:
the MJ5 weighs 32 kg. Following the slimming diet, it now weighs only 21 kg. 11 kg less – that makes a weight saving of a whopping 35%.
By the way: all linear drives from the MJ series - from the MJ0 to the MJ5 - are now manufactured using a die casting process.
You might be asking yourself: what do I gain? A lot:
- Easier mounting due to lower weight.
- Lower plant weight.
- Lower transport costs.
But that's by no means all. The duty cycle is also higher. By fully 10%. And the consequences of that are:
- Longer service life.
- Shorter cooling and standstill times.
- Less heat dissipation.
Do you want to know how we achieve this enormous saving?
You're welcome: instead of the previous grey cast iron housing, we now use a die-cast housing. We save a lot of weight due to the thinner walls. In addition, the housing surfaces are smoother and cleaner as a result.
Here is a typical example that shows how lighter linear drives could be very advantageous for you: just imagine you are planning a lifting system with 50 MJ5 linear drives. The total system would then weigh around 500 kg less.
