THK, headquartered in Tokyo, is one of the world's leading suppliers of linear guidance systems. THK's proven products, including linear guides, actuators, ball screws, ball joints and cross-roller rings, are used as essential mechanical components in almost every industry. Based on the accumulated expertise in quality assurance, technological development and proven reliability, THK products are said to have enormous potential in the development of applications for factory and process automation. THK sees its strengths not only in offering standardized components, but also in flexibly developing and proposing solutions for customized products that fully meet customer needs by fulfilling their specific uses and operating conditions.

THK is now expanding its already broad range of linear axes with the compact KSF series and the cleanroom-compatible CKSF series. The KSF linear axis is an extremely compact and lightweight drive unit designed for high speeds of up to 2.5 meters per second and accelerations of up to four G. This is achieved by a large-diameter ball screw integrated with the linear guide into a highly rigid and high-precision U-profile that serves as an outer guide. The KSF series is also available in an enclosed version that provides protection against external particles and allows strokes of up to 1,500 millimeters.

The CKSF cleanroom linear axis, on the other hand, is based on the basic design of the KSF series, but meets cleanroom compatibility requirements in accordance with ISO14644-1 Class 4. Its fully enclosed design with suction ports and a non-contact cover strip almost completely reduces dust generation. The CKSF series is available in five sizes, also offering stroke lengths of up to 1,500 millimeters at a maximum speed of 2.5 meters per second.
