In the fields of automation equipment, machine tools, conveying systems, etc., guide shaft supports are core components to ensure the stable operation of guide shafts.
According to the installation method, structural characteristics and applicable scenarios, supports are mainly divided into three types: flange type, T/L type and compact type.
This article will analyze the structural differences and applicable scenarios of T/L type supports in detail, and provide selection recommendations.
T/L type guide shaft support
1.Structural features:
The T/L type support consists of a “T”-shaped base and an “L”-shaped support arm, which supports the fixation of the guide shaft in the horizontal direction.
Common types include:
Standard type: The bolt directly presses the shaft end, with a simple structure but weak clamping force.
Open type: The top of the shaft hole is open, which is convenient for the shaft to be inserted horizontally and suitable for narrow spaces.
Side opening type: The bolt is fixed from the side, which is convenient for top maintenance.
Separate type: The shaft hole is designed in sections, which supports the shaft to be loaded from any direction, making maintenance convenient.
2.Applicable scenarios:
Horizontal reciprocating motion: such as conveyor belts, roller guide systems, and material handling equipment.
Frequent disassembly and assembly requirements: The separate type support can quickly replace the guide shaft, which is suitable for automated production lines.
Lightweight scenario: The aluminum alloy T/L type support has both strength and lightness.
3.Selection points:
When the axial impact is large, the end face locking type is selected.
When anti-rust treatment is required, electroless nickel plating or black anodized surface can be selected.
4.Selection suggestions and precautions
Select by space layout: horizontal installation → T/L type.
Select by load type: large radial load → thickened support; large axial load → end face fixed type.
Select by maintenance frequency: high-frequency disassembly and assembly → separation type or open type; low-frequency use → stop screw type.
Material and surface treatment: ordinary environment → blackened carbon steel; high-corrosion environment → stainless steel or anodized aluminum.
