The rail, normally mounted to the fixed part of the machine, is a specially designed anodized
aluminum extrusion. The steel slider body, normally mounted to the moving structure, has six
radial ball-bearing “rollers” mounted in such a way as to allow optimal contact on the four internal
raceways. The linear contact between the rollers and the raceways minimizes wear and
maximizes load capacity, assuring a long lifetime. The patented design of the two-piece slider
allows the cross-mounted rollers to run inside the load-carrying aluminum rail without play. It
also allows the fast and simple setting of preload. With the XSP version, the orientation of some
of the rollers can even be inverted, allowing the inversion of the preferential load direction.
Keeping in mind the unclean nature of many of ECOLINE’s main application sectors, the products
were designed to keep damaging dirt and particles out. The contact between the rollers and the
raceways occurs inside the specially shaped profile, protected from accidental impacts and from
debris and impurities. Longitudinal protective belts, which limit the possible infiltration of dust
and dirt along the thin slot where the slider travels, are available as well. When ordered as a
complete unit with slider mounted inside the rail, protective tecnopolimer endcaps are supplied.
ECOLINE actuators are the most affordable linear actuators available. When UNILINE actuators
are more than the application requires and yet homemade solutions don’t make sense, ECOLINE’s
belt-driven units are the answer. Well thought out and inexpensive, these actuators allow designers
to simply and reliably automate movements that do not require excessive precision and rigidity.
The six radial ball-bearing rollers run on the specially designed races inside the anodized
aluminum extrusion. A toothed belt connect a pulley on each end.
The ECOLINE actuator is designed to be easily mounted to modular aluminum profiles.
The simplicity and utility of the design make it perfect for many applications.
ECOLINE actuators are the alternative to labor intensive, homemade solutions, and expensive
linear actuators that are overkill technically and don’t fit into smaller budgets.
Like all of Rollon’s products, these actuators have been designed to solve problems.
ECOLINE belt-driven actuators are inexpensive yet durable. Each unit has identical heads
and can therefore be driven from either side. Drive shaft housings can be metric or standard.
Units can also be equipped with double moving carriages.

The plate must be fixed on the head
using holes “1” and “3” or “2” and “3”
depending on side of mounting (left or
right). To fix the plate it is necessary to
remove the fixing screws on the head in
correspondance of the holes “1” or “2”.
