Heavy-duty slide carries cantilevered loads with ease

Paul Boughton
Techno Linear Motion Systems is introducing an improved Heavy-Duty Slide 2, constructed from a single rigid aluminium extrusion and capable of handling heavy cantilevered loads. The 225mm wide modular design is available in travels from 122mm to 2722mm with a new wraparound motor mounting kit that allows for longer travel with shorter overall lengths. The Heavy-Duty Slide 2 is made to be versatile, with T-slots on three sides for easy mounting options.

Joe Griffin, Linear Motion Systems sales manager, states: "The improved design on our Heavy-Duty Slide 2 models offers customers an affordable yet wide stable base for use in any assembly equipment. By providing a slide that can handle large cantilevered loads, we increase the list of applications it can be used for. We also use Teflon lip seals so that the full length of travel is utilised and the interior components are guarded against contaminants."

All models are fitted with four precision rails, four bearing blocks, home reference and end limit switches. Customers can choose from inline or side-mounted stepper motors or servomotors. The 16mm anti-backlash ball screws are available in 2.5mm, 5mm, 10mm and 20mm leads. Complete CAD drawing files are available on the company's website.
