Differences between Timing Belt, Screw and Motor Linear Modules

1. Timing Belt Modules
The synchronous belt linear module mainly consists of belts, linear guides, aluminum alloy profiles, couplings, motors, and photoelectric switches. It can be driven by fully enclosed, semi-enclosed, servo, or stepping motors. Its characteristics include high speed and long stroke. It is suitable for automated equipment that requires low precision but high speed, and is not recommended for the Z-axis with heavy loads. For example, it is widely used in automated equipment such as packaging, handling, and spraying.

The ball screw linear module mainly comprises ball screws, linear guides, aluminum alloy profiles, couplings, motors, and motor mounts, along with other components.  It can be driven by fully enclosed, semi-enclosed, servo, or stepping motors. With high precision and a large load capacity, it is suitable for automated equipment demanding high precision and heavy loads. For example, it is adopted in automated equipment for screw driving, gluing, soldering, and the like.

3. Linear Motor Modules
The linear motor module itself is a direct drive motor for linear motion. This modular product is mounted on aluminum profiles. It has a simple structure, high precision, high speed, no backlash, and a long service life. It doesn't necessarily need aluminum profiles and can be directly installed on a precision platform.
 
The linear motor module should possess high precision and high speed. It is applied in semiconductor production equipment (such as semiconductor wafer testing and inspection, solid crystal machines, semiconductor wire bonding machines that require integrated testing and inspection, high-speed transfer equipment, etc.), the laser industry (laser cutting, laser engraving, laser marking, etc.), precision machine tools and so on.
