Linear modules, also known as mechanical hands, can be seen in various industries such as modern military, food, spraying, and logistics. This is because they have more significant advantages compared to traditional mechanical systems. For instance, its high precision, no backlash and almost zero maintenance (no contact parts) are difficult for mechanical systems to achieve. Not to mention that there are many other advantages such as extremely high speed, extremely low speed and high acceleration. However, any machine will encounter some minor problems during use, such as noise, and linear modules are no exception! So, what are the main reasons for the noise that occurs in linear modules during use? What methods should we use to solve it? The noise in linear modules mainly falls into three categories:

1. Noise is prone to occur in an environment with a lot of dust.

Solution: Use dust-proof devices when in use. This is usually kept in stock by manufacturers.

2. Different equipment requires different preloads, and thus noise situations may occur.

Solution: Adjust the preload before use according to different equipment.

3. Different lubricating greases can also cause noise.

Solution: Depending on the different models of linear modules, special oil should be selected.

Since linear modules only require motors to complete linear motion without gears, couplings or pulleys, those unnecessary parts that reduce performance and shorten mechanical life are eliminated. Therefore, production efficiency and mechanical service life are greatly improved, and production costs are reduced.
