Abstract
A linear transmission device includes: an elongated shaft member, a moving module, a rolling unit, a return assembly, a sensor and a data receiving unit. The linear transmission device has a simple structure. The sensor is disposed at the junction of the first return pipe and the second return pipe of the return assembly to timely detect the change in the distance between the rolling elements, which can determine whether there is an abnormality in the shape of the spacers. With the sensor outputting detecting signals, it can stop the terminal immediately to confirm the condition of the workpieces and the machine, avoiding the structural damage of the machine and the workpiece caused by the continuous operation. The sensor can also serve as a medium for transferring data, further facilitating maintenance.
