STEP 1 OF 5

What does your axis need to do?

The total stroke and a clearly defined mounting orientation form the basis of the calculation.

How far does the load need to travel?
How will the axis be installed?
Additional details remain optional

FINDING THE RIGHT SOLUTION TOGETHER

Define. Assess. Size together.

01 / Application

The right questions

Stroke, mounting orientation, load centre of gravity and motion profile, rather than selection by kilograms alone.

02 / Guidance

An initial recommendation

You receive a preliminary selection. We check the details of the final sizing for you.

03 / Sizing

GUNDA checks the combination

Guide, drive and motor are assessed as a complete system. The result forms the basis for the right solution for you.

Data sources and force/moment diagrams

Core data from 21 original product data sheets and BK/SK catalogue extracts: 62 specific configurations. Stroke, lead/feed, speed, rotational speed, Fx, guide loads and repeatability are preliminarily checked wherever supported by source data. Conflicting sources and special sizing cases explicitly remain unresolved.

Technical data sources for BK: catalogue pages A5.146/A5.150; SK: A5.129/A5.132/A5.133. The positioning accuracies given there are explicitly indicative, not guaranteed absolute tolerances.

Data as of 8 November 2026. Individual limit values must not be interpreted as loads that can be applied simultaneously or as proof of service life. Absolute positioning accuracy is not equated with repeatability.

Redrawn schematic coordinate system for guide forces Fx, Fy, Fz and moments Mx, My, Mz
Redrawn force/moment diagram. Forces and torques are shown in the local axis coordinate system. Permissible combined loading requires the rule for the specific series.
Redrawn lever-arm diagram: perpendicular distance h from the guide reference point to a force's line of action
Redrawn lever-arm diagram. Centre of gravity S and force application point P are separate. h denotes the perpendicular distance to the force's line of action. Manufacturer designations such as Ma/Mr/Mv must be mapped to the respective coordinate system.
