Intended use
NTN-SNR linear axes and NTN-SNR linear tables are fundamentally designated for linear movement as
occursduringpositioning,synchronisation,transport,palletising,loading,unloading,clamping,tightening,
testing, measuring, handling and manipulating components or tools. Type-specic load data from the
