As is well known, linear modules, also known as linear actuators, electric modules, single-axis robots, and CNC slides, are crucial products for automation. Therefore, the correct selection of linear modules not only affects their immediate usability but also influences their subsequent performance capabilities. When purchasing, it's essential to make the right choices to avoid unnecessary complications.


1. **Load Capacity**:

   Linear modules typically require a specified load capacity, indicating the weight they can support. Many manufacturers offer products with various load capacities, and factories must select based on the actual weight their production processes involve.


2. **Travel Accuracy**:

   Reputable linear module manufacturers provide options with different effective travel specifications. Effective travel refers to the distance a linear module travels from one end to the other. Therefore, the precision of this movement is a decisive factor in selecting the appropriate linear module.


3. **Configuration**:

   Selection should also consider configuration aspects such as the type and brand specifications of components like lead screws, guide rails, timing belts, and switches. Different linear module manufacturers may vary in their configurations, so choosing based on the precision and other requirements of production processes is crucial.
