Rollon from Automotion
As specialists in linear motion systems we offer you a choice of materials and sizes. So whether you need lightweight aluminium rails for use in aviation applications or stainless steel components for when exposure to water or corrosive chemicals is a factor, our knowledgable technical engineers are always on hand to provide assistance.
Make sure you downoad a free Linear Motion Handbook here and utilise our free CAD to help you save time planning your projects.
Two sizes of curved rail - made to suit the specific customer radius and arc length. Can be supplied as constant radius or with variable radii versions.
Stainless steel A4, 316L) rail system can be used in wet environments (including sea water). Rubber seals protect the bearings. In 3 sizes to suit required load ratings.
For heavier duty shorter stroke applications (lengths up to 2 metres) - affordable heavy duty rail with high strength and rigidity.
Size 63. High precision, bearing steel balls with steel cages. Made from cold drawn zinc plated steel. For smooth horizontal movement of speeds up to 0.8 m/s.
Very strong and rigid telescopic slides with high load capacities.
Semi-telescopic slides made from cold drawn steel. They offer high load capacities and low deflection.
For ultra heavy load capacities under constant and continuous movement. Operates under vibration and high stroke frequency.
General Guidance
Load capacities – explained
• A number of load figures are stated for load capacity:
Dynamic Load – this is the main figure considered for linear guideways. It is the moving load that the system can bear. It takes account of the total moving load as well as considerations such as impact, vibration and fatigue.
Static Load – this is a load that is constant for an extended time (i.e. the dead load the system can bear before any movement). It can be in tension or compression.
For these linear guideways the radial and axial load capacities are the same.
Moment loads are twisting loads generated by off set loads in either X, Y or Z planes. Moment loads can be reduced by adding further carriages or rails to reduce any twisting of the carriage due to the load off set.
