UBPS Series - Clamping and Braking Element
The UBPS series is based on a dual-effective wedge slide gear with spring-loaded energy storage for clamping and braking without pressure. This arrangement of three pistons connected inline allows the use of a stronger spring at 5.5 bar. The stronger spring-loaded storage permits holding forces up to 9,200 N. Positive fit contact sections mounted within a strong casing guarantee high axial and horizontal rigidity. The UBPS series is designed for braking on linear guides. Because of the material combination of the linear guide/contact section, the linear guide wont be damaged by the contact section. In order to prevent damage from contamination with chips (chips between contact section and linear guide), the elements can be fitted with original seals (seal kit) from the respective linear manufacturer and longitudinal seals as accessories. When used in harsh work environments or cooling with liquid, the seal kit should be used as well. In order to guarantee the lifetime of seals, follow the corresponding instructions from the respective linear guide manufacturer.
