Linears

The linear feeder type SLA ensures a defined and precise interface to bowl and linear feeders or
separations.

Through a stiff fixation of the linear feeder the SLA shows a steady running behaviour independently from the connected mass of the substructure and therefore, takes no influences from the environment.

The RNA linear feeders series SLA, SLL and SLF are renowned for the following features:

• A patented adjustment of the spring angle without altering the gap setting
• Flexible fastening of tooling into a continuous channel.
• Interchangeable vibrating profiles.

The new linear feeder SLC500 is specially designed for applications with high loads and wide transport and accumulation lines in feeding technology. The new linear feeder SLC500 is ideal for using in applications with wide multi-track transport and accumulation lines as well as with
hopper systems in which a high filling volume and filling weight is realised in compact space. The SLC500 has a width of 300mm and a length of 500mm plus a load capacity of up to 70kg.

RNA linear feeders of the GL series have horizontally built in springs. Their feeding performance resembles a “sliding” rather than the “throwing” typical of linear feeders. Because of the small relative motion between the preceding and following device, this feature is most advantageous particularly at interface transitions for small component parts.

RNA linear feeders of the SLK series have the following product features:

• Compact, small devices
• Simple handling when changing the springs
• Short track lengths of 200–350 mm are possible with the SLK 05.

The linear feeders of the SLS series are suitable for parts with high-precision guiding at the transition to separation or to the vibratory bowl feeder (rotary feeder). Thanks to the counter-vibration principle of this linear feeder, the vibrating forces in the base plate are almost balanced.

• Compensation of the vibrating forces in the drive unit
• No vibrations are transferred to the substructure
• No reciprocal influence between several combined devices
• No influence on other devices and processes even in the immediate Surroundings
• Highest precision at the interfaces
• An adjustable fixing makes it unnecessary to set the transfer points during maintenance.

Besides the complete product range for linear feeders available in stock for the series GL, SLK, SLS, SLA, SLL and SLF, special models and accessories are available upon request.
