The N&E modular system

Fewer variants. One system.

Cam systems vary between manufacturers. Even DIN 69638 and DIN 69639 provide for three different systems. Our modular system brings these variants together and reduces the need for extensive spare-parts stocks.

  1. A uniform groove rail profile

    For clamping U-type and T-type cams. The height of the T-slot bars matches the depth of a U-slot, with reinforcement at the base of each T-rib. Profiles can be placed side by side to create larger groove fields while maintaining 12 or 16 mm row spacing.

  2. End cams for mechanical switching

    With an approach ramp and mounting hole. Fork-shaped projections engage the central web of the double-T profile to create cams of custom length. Made from surface-hardened steel.

  3. Double-T profile for intermediate sections

    The drawn steel profile is supplied in metre lengths and combined with two end cams. Users can keep the profile in stock and cut it to the required length.

  4. Zinc die-cast end cams

    For contactless switching. One end cam creates a short electronic cam; two end cams allow custom lengths.

Uniform groove rail cross-section with row spacing t
Uniform groove rail profile: row spacing 12 or 16 mm, mounted with M4 × 10 DIN 7984 screws.
Steel cams and radius cams
Steel cams from the modular system: straight and radius versions.
Designed in detail

Compatible, secure and convenient.

Cam mounting variants in U-slot, T-slot and N&E profiles

Compatibility

By exchanging two slot nuts, MUE 012-02 for U-slot rails and MTE 012-02 for T-slot rails, N&E cams fit commercially available groove rails.

End cam scale for fine adjustment

Ease of adjustment

Scales on both sides allow presetting to 0.5 mm. A conical spring prevents parts from falling out when the screw is loosened, including in vertical installations.

Permanent 12.5 mm height marking on the end cam

Safety

All cams carry permanent height markings (12.5 mm). Radius end cams also carry a radius marking.
