With the two rail clamps loosely bolted together and
with the guide rail inserted, this assembly is then
simply located onto the appropriate mounting profile and
the rail clamp bolts tightened. This securely clamps
the assembly to any Item Line 8 standard profile, which
provides automatic alignment and the linear accuracy for
the slide.
No further straightening of the profiled guide rail
is required to achieve a precision operating linear
guide system, thus solving very neatly the twin problems
of assembly time and alignment often associated with
this type of unit.
Bearing carriages are simply located onto the
profiled guide rail with each carriage having a static
load capacity of 37kN, and dynamic loading of 17.9kN.
The carriages feature a pre-lubricated four track
rolling ball contact with the guide rail and are also
fitted with both end face and longitudinal wipers to
prevent dirt ingress.
The robust assembly is designed for operating speeds
up to 5 metres/sec within a temperature range of -40° to
+100°C, and can withstand offset xyz load moments of up
to 510Nm.
Both guide rail and rail clamps are available in two
metre lengths, capable of producing linear guide systems
of indeterminate length.
The rail clamps are manufactured from anodised
aluminium and are used with hexagon socket cap head
screws fitted at 80mm pre-drilled centres.
Multiple carriages can be used per rail and several
linear guide tracks can be assembled in parallel to
appropriate Line 8 profiles as required without
elaborate set-up procedures.
Bearing carriages have 4 x M6 x 8mm deep holes for
load attachment, or can be used with Item button head
screws for fixing to other Line 8 profile sections being
used as mounting platforms or bridging units to tandem
or parallel-operating carriages. |
