THK’s LM Stroke Model ST ST SERIES represents a sophisticated advancement in linear motion technology, engineered to deliver exceptional precision, reliability, and efficiency in demanding industrial applications. This series features a compact, integrated design that combines a linear motion guide with a built-in stroke mechanism, eliminating the need for external components and simplifying installation. Key technical specifications include high load capacities, with dynamic load ratings up to 7.35 kN and static load ratings reaching 14.7 kN, ensuring robust performance under heavy operational stresses. The system incorporates precision-ground raceways and high-grade steel balls, which minimize friction and provide smooth, consistent motion with positional accuracy within microns. Additionally, the ST SERIES is designed with a sealed structure to prevent contamination from dust, debris, or moisture, making it suitable for harsh environments. Options for lubrication systems, such as grease fittings or automatic lubricators, further enhance longevity and reduce maintenance intervals.

Performance advantages of the LM Stroke ST ST SERIES are substantial, starting with its energy-efficient operation due to low friction coefficients, which translate to reduced power consumption and heat generation. The integrated stroke mechanism allows for precise control over linear movement, enabling repeatable positioning with minimal backlash, critical for applications requiring high-speed and high-accuracy cycles. Durability is another standout feature, as the components are hardened and treated to resist wear, corrosion, and fatigue, extending service life even in continuous-use scenarios. Noise levels are kept exceptionally low through optimized ball circulation and damping features, contributing to a quieter workplace. Moreover, the modular design facilitates easy customization and integration into existing machinery, reducing downtime during upgrades or repairs. These attributes collectively result in improved productivity, lower total cost of ownership, and enhanced operational safety.

In industrial machinery, the THK LM Stroke ST ST SERIES finds extensive use in automation systems, such as pick-and-place robots, CNC machine tools, and assembly lines, where it ensures precise linear positioning for tasks like component insertion, cutting, or welding. For automotive systems, it is employed in manufacturing equipment like engine assembly jigs, brake testing machines, and paint-spraying robots, providing reliable motion control that withstands high-vibration environments and repetitive cycles. In precision equipment, this series is ideal for applications such as semiconductor manufacturing devices, medical diagnostic instruments, and optical alignment systems, where its micron-level accuracy and contamination resistance are paramount. By delivering consistent performance across these diverse sectors, the LM Stroke ST ST SERIES supports innovation and efficiency, making it a trusted choice for engineers seeking to optimize motion control solutions in their designs.
