This General KR catalog presents the complete lineup of KR linear actuator sizes.
THK America's Quick Ship program enables rapid delivery of commonly-sized KR linear actuators, with shipping timeframes of 2 days to 2 weeks depending on current stock levels.
The Semi-Custom Series features model number designations for customization such as surface treatment, positioning pins, etc., that are commonly required in specific markets and applications.
This unit converts shaft rotation into linear opening/closing motion using right-hand and left-hand threads on a single shaft. It is used in gripping and centering devices, leveraging the KR series' compact design and high rigidity.
THK flexibly accommodate customizing requests to your meet needs such as
・Non-standard lengths
・High-Thrust Type
・Custom motor mounting brackets, etc.

Model KRFeatures
Structure and Features
Because of its integral-structure inner block consisting of a highly rigid outer rail with a U-shaped cross section, LM Guide units on both side faces and a Ball Screw unit in the center, LM Guide Actuator model KR achieves a highly rigid and highly accurate Linear actuator in a minimal space. In addition, since the housings A and B also serve as support units and the inner block as a table, this model allows significant reduction of man-hours required for design and assembly, thus contributing to total cost cutting.
4-way Equal Load
Each row of balls is arranged at a contact angle of 45° so that the rated load on the inner block is uniform under loads applied to the inner block in the four directions (radial, reverse radial and lateral directions). As a result, model KR can be used in any mounting orientation.
High Rigidity
Use of an outer rail with a U-shaped cross section increases the rigidity against a moment and torsion.

High Accuracy
Since the linear guide section consists of 4rows of circular-arc grooves that enable balls to smoothly move even under a preload, a highly rigid guide with no clearance is achieved. Additionally, variation in frictional resistance caused by load fluctuation is minimized, allowing the system to follow highly accurate feed.
Space Saving
Use of a inner block integrating LM Guide units on both ends and a Ball Screw unit in the center makes model KR a highly rigid and highly accurate linear actuator in a minimal space.
Seal
Model KR is equipped with end seals and side seals for dust prevention as standard.
Table2 shows the rolling resistance and seal resistance per inner block (guide section).
