Linear Motion System Accessories from RobotUnits

Linear Motion System Accessories from RobotUnitsEvery small detail has a big impact on the entire system, especially when countless accessories fill hundreds of catalog pages. Developing a new part for every new application in the industry or for production is fundamentally contrary to our idea of a compatible modular system. Therefore, our accessories for the linear system perform several functions at the same time in the Robotunits Modular Automation System.

Linear Motion Systems Accessories Q & A

+ What kind of accessories are offered for the Linear Motion System?
The accessories include guide rails, idler assemblies (single and double), lubrication/wiper units, mounting plates, and other add-ons designed to extend and enhance the linear motion system.
+Are these accessories compatible with all Robotunits extrusions?
Yes — many accessories (for example guide rails) are designed to retrofit to existing 50 mm grid extrusions of the modular system, making them compatible with the Robotunits standard frame structure.
+ How do I choose between a single idler and a double idler accessory?
A single idler is suitable for standard linear guide configurations; a double idler provides smoother running and may be preferred for higher precision or heavier loads. Both integrate wiper and lubrication units on both sides.
+ Can I retrofit guide rails to an existing system?
Yes — the guide rail accessory (e.g., “Guiderail LIL 5000”) can be cut to length and added later to existing 50 mm grid extrusions, enabling upgrades without full system replacement.
+ What maintenance features are built into the accessories?

The accessories often incorporate integrated wiper and lubrication units on both sides to ease maintenance, protect against contaminants, and improve running performance.
