In today’s rapidly evolving industrial automation landscape, linear motion modules act as the “bones and muscles” of automated equipment. Choosing the right actuator directly impacts performance, reliability, and service life. With countless options on the market, engineers and procurement managers face the challenge of identifying the most suitable solution.
Gaogong Intelligent Transmission’s GTB Series Semi-Enclosed Belt Modules offer a cost-effective, stable, and versatile portfolio. Covering models from GTB10 to GTB22A, this guide provides a deep analysis—from parameter interpretation to application matching—helping you make confident selection decisions.
Before diving into the GTB lineup, it’s essential to grasp the key specifications:
Body Width: Defines installation space and rigidity. Wider modules provide higher torsional resistance and load capacity.
Maximum Stroke: The longest travel distance of the slider, determining the working range.
Maximum Payload: The safe load capacity under stable operation.
Repeatability: The deviation when returning to the same position. While belt modules are less precise than ball screw actuators, they are more than sufficient for most transfer and handling tasks.
Specs: Width 102 mm, stroke up to 2550 mm, payload up to 10 kg
Applications: Small electronics dispensing, inspection, light material transfer
Recommendation: Best for payloads under 5 kg with travel up to 2.5 m
GTB14: Width 135 mm, stroke 3050 mm, payload 25 kg
GTB12A: Width 120 mm, stroke 3050 mm, payload 20 kg
Applications: PCB transfer, SMT line integration, small part loading/unloading
Recommendation: For 10–25 kg loads. Choose GTB14 for higher rigidity, GTB12A for limited installation space
GTB14A: Width 140 mm, payload 35 kg
GTB17: Width 170 mm, stroke 3050 mm, payload 45 kg
GTB22A: Width 220 mm, stroke 4050 mm, payload up to 85 kg
Applications: Large panel transfer, warehouse automation, heavy-duty material handling
Recommendation: For payloads above 30 kg or ultra-long travel requirements
Even non-specialists can follow this simple process:
Define Payload: Calculate total weight including fixtures.
Define Stroke: Measure required travel distance.
Match Parameters: Compare with GTB series specs.
Example: Payload 22 kg, stroke 2800 mm → GTB14 (25 kg, 3050 mm) is the perfect fit.
Dust Protection: Prevents particles from entering the belt and guide system.
Safety: Shields operators from high-speed moving parts.
Clean Appearance: Provides a modern, streamlined look for factory environments.
Electronics Manufacturing: PCB transfer, SMT automation
Semiconductor & Optics: Wafer handling, lens inspection
Medical & Pharmaceutical: Device assembly, packaging lines
Automotive & Aerospace: Component positioning, robotic integration
Logistics & Warehousing: Sorting, palletizing, AGV systems
