Linear axis

摘要

The axle has vertical guide rails (11, 12), and a guide slide (10) that is movable along the guide rail using a drive, where the guide slide exhibits a housing. Each guide rail is assigned to a brake wedge that runs in a longitudinal direction of the respective guide rail. The brake wedge is movable to an inoperative position by linear drives (21, 22). The brake wedge is moved into an operating position by a mechanical force accumulator during failure of each of the linear drives.
