Long-term test of a lubrication-free and maintenance-free toothed belt axis

Intermediate report from a running test:

In a long-term test, the wear of a drylin® E linear axis with motor is analysed.
In this test, a toothed belt axis of the
ZLW-1040 type and a stepper motor with installation size NEMA23 were used. The entire unit is free of lubrication and maintenance. The test simulates a moving stacker unit or a production plant that moves material.
The following parameters are used for the endurance test:

moved weight: 10kg

Speed: approx. 1m/s

Acceleration: approx. 3m/s²

Ambient temperature: 25°C

The axis is tested with a load of 10kg.

Intermediate result:

After more than 1,000,000 cycles, no visible wear is found. This corresponds to a travel distance of approx. 1,000km. The next evaluation will take place at 5,000,000 cycles, i.e. at 5,000km.

Toothed belt axes from the modular kit

The toothed belt axes from the open modular system stand out by a very smooth operation and durability.
