Introduction
Linear modules (also called linear slides or linear motion systems) are highly integrated transmission platforms that combine and optimize linear guide rails and sliding blocks. RYK Motion offers precision-engineered linear modules for industrial automation, robotics, and CNC applications.
1. Structure & Working Principle
A linear module is an upgraded version of traditional linear guide rails, integrating the slider and rail seat into a more compact structure. By combining different units, it enables precise linear motion with high positioning accuracy – ideal for automated production lines and precision machinery.

2. Types of Linear Modules & How They Work
2.1 Belt-Driven Linear Modules
Components:
- Timing belt
- Linear guide rails
- Aluminum alloy profile
- Coupling
- Servo/stepper motor (learn about motor selection from IEEE)
- Optical sensors
Working Principle:
The belt is mounted on drive shafts at both ends of the module. When the motor drives the belt, the attached sliding block moves the load with smooth linear motion – perfect for high-speed applications like packaging machines.
(Pro Tip: For belt selection standards, refer to Mechanical Power Transmission Association.)
2.2 Ball Screw Driven Linear Modules
Components:·
- Precision ball screw (learn about screw standards from ISO)
- Linear guide rails
- Aluminum alloy housing
- Ball screw nut assembly
- Coupling
- Servo motor
- Limit switches
Working Principle:
Converts rotary motion into linear motion with minimal friction. Widely used in CNC machines and medical equipment due to its high load capacity and micron-level accuracy (compare with linear actuator alternatives).
