" Choosing the right linear technology - these factors determine the selection of your components
Service life, efficiency and high precision of the movements performed are the success criteria for good and reliable linear technology. Our customers measure us by these characteristics. To ensure that your machine or system meets all expectations, it is necessary to select all components correctly.
This is particularly successful if the framework conditions and influences under which the linear technology is to be used are meticulously checked, evaluated and taken into account in advance, e.g.
- Mass to be moved
- Travel speeds and accelerations
- Drive positions
- Travel (stroke)
- Center of mass
- Required precision such as positioning accuracy, running accuracy such as radial or lateral run-out
- Environmental influences such as ambient temperature / dust environment
- Available installation space in the machine
Contact our consultants directly to select your individual components according to your needs!
Determined by customer-specific requirements such as mass to be moved, required cycle times, movement speeds, available installation space, distance to be covered and many other factors, you will find the right solution at FUD.

Linear technology also includes the drive elements that provide the propulsion. These actuators are selected individually for the type of movement and power transmission required. The various drive types often require suitable gearboxes for the transmission. A planetary gearbox is often used here.
To save design time, the linear guide and drive are always combined in a complete, ready-to-install system. Compliance with customer-specific parameters such as positioning accuracy, travel speed, repeat accuracy etc. is largely determined by the drive element.

" Buying linear technology - these are the questions we are asked by prospective customers looking for suitable components
The use of linear technology enables machines to carry out precise, guided longitudinal movements and, for example, to position a mass to be moved exactly.
Just like bearings, which enable the rotary movement of components, linear technology is an essential part of industrial requirements.
Ein meist elektrischer, pneumatischer oder hydraulischer Antrieb erzeugt über ein Antriebselement eine Längsbewegung. Die Lastaufnahme und Führung der zu bewegenden Masse erfolgt über die verschiedensten Linearführungen die z.B. über eine Verbindungsplatte verbunden einen Laufwagen oder Schlitten bilden. Auf Diesem kann dann die zu bewegende Masse montiert und bewegt werden.
The movement is carried out as energy-efficiently as possible thanks to the elements, which today are usually mounted in rolling element bearings. The rolling guide minimizes the force required for the movement. This means that even large masses can be moved with little effort and with high precision.
The closed design of complete systems makes them resistant to contamination and equipped with integrated long-term lubrication, low-maintenance or even maintenance-free.
The main areas of application for linear technology are main axes in machine tools, machines of all kinds such as production and conveyor systems, packaging machines, woodworking machines, sawing systems, measuring machines, machines in dental and medical technology, etc.
Linear technology is also used in all automation and automation applications. In other words, wherever linear movements need to be executed.

Especially in a field as individual and consultation-intensive as linear technology, we always recommend that you talk to us directly first. Only in personal contact can you describe your needs, objectives and general conditions in detail and ask our experts important questions about your project directly. This approach provides you with reliable information very quickly, enabling you to get started with your procurement or design project easily and reliably.
- Get in touch with us by phone or e-mail - together we will discuss initial solutions for you
- Send us your CAD data and your requirements definition
- We then prepare an internal proposal for an ideal solution for you. Depending on your order, we carry out a service life calculation in addition to designing the required components
- We will discuss our proposed solution with you and provide any necessary design support
- Once you have decided on a solution, we agree on prices and delivery times
Our long-standing partners involve us in their planning and projects at a very early stage for a variety of reasons. As early as the planning phase of a machine or system, we can use our many years of experience to provide concrete design support and helpful advice that will save you a lot of time and money, as you will not encounter any unexpected problems when operating the machine or system.
Of course, our guide rails are cut and assembled directly in-house according to your requirements.
We can supply you quickly with the components you need thanks to our large stock of goods in our central warehouse in Sprockhövel. It is even better for your procurement if you secure your requirements with call-off contracts and have FUD deliver to your production just in time as required.
