The ring guide is a product designed for customized automated production line applications. The product features are to maximize the use of the production line space, and to utilize the characteristics of high speed and stable operation to save production costs as well as increase production capacity. Standing out from the solely linear production route, this system allows a highly customized circular track by joining ring segments and the linear rail...
The Professional Range is available in a number of formats which offer extensions from 50% through to 100% and even 200% of the slide's closed length. We offer bi-directional extension as standard. Our slides are tested to destruction and we confidently work up to 2,000kg with the largest profiles. Load calculations are based upon 1% deflection of the slide's closed length when fully loaded per extended pair. This rises to approximately 2% on our 150 and 200% extensions due to the multiple beams. Our slides are load tested spaced 700mm apart.The entire range is manufactured from high grade carbon steel type C45 E+C which ensures a slide with strong raceways, fit for the industrial purpose they were designed.
Solid section 'I' beam slides are excellent at working under conditions of severe shock & vibration, with a strong resistance to axial/torque loading at full extension. Steel beams are plated with industry standard zinc and passivate 10-12 microns surface protection. Plating is RoHS compliant. Standard ball bearings are chrome plated steel with an option to upgrade to stainless steel 316L. This suits applications such as train battery boxes where solid section stainless steel slides are beyond budget.
We manufacture steel slides from cold drawn profile, which is milled to provide accurate tolerances. Investment in state-of-the-art production facilities allows us to mill up to 3 metres in length. In-house plating facilities, also to 3 metres, provides for fast and efficient production leadtimes. The Professional Range slides in steel, stainless & aluminium, have all metal parts as standard. There are no plastic parts used, so working temperature range for carbon steel is –20°C to +250°C provided the necessary lubricants are applied. We supply the slides unlubricated for special requirements.
Our Drawer Locking System has been developed to work with the Professional Range as a positive, rugged means of securing the drawer. No more finger catching or long lead times having slides manufactured. The system can be supplied to lock the drawer in, out or both.
