Technical options for the SHT series

The following options can be configured directly online for the SHT product range.

Linear module with preload

SHT-PL - preload version

The axial preload reduces the backlash of the system. Positioning and repeatability can be optimised. The required drive torque increases only slightly.

Shaft materials

When using SHT linear modules, you can choose steel, stainless steel or hard anodised aluminium (standard) as a shaft material. The short delivery time and excellent coefficient of friction and wear make the aluminium version the most commonly used standard.

Thread material for drylin linear modules

Lead screw materials and designs

All drylin® linear modules can be delivered with self-locking steel and stainless steel trapezoidal lead screws; upon request, they can also be made from hard coated aluminium. The SHT and SLW series can also be configured with stainless steel high helix lead screws.The high helix threads are configurable: Ds20x5 / Ds20x10 / Ds20x20 / Ds20x50 / Ds20x60 /
