Pre-loaded ball slides provide an acceptable level of accuracy of 0.001mm per mm for most linear motion applications. Considerably lower cost than crossed roller slides.
Uses a conventional hardened steel rod raceway and balls. Incorporates an elastomer spine and shock absorbing backup gib. Provides even and continuous preload, whilst minimising the effects of impact and shock. Tolerant to contamination and can operate of millions of cycles without lubrication. 8-32 UNC mounting holes.

Hard gib preload. Tolerant to contamination and can operate of millions of cycles without lubrication. 8-32 UNC mounting holes.
Higher load capacity than precision ball slide assemblies. High cycling rates. Tolerant of shock and overhanging loads.
Accuracy of 0.00254mm per 25.4mm of travel. Repeatability 0.00254mm. Not as naturally cleaning as ball slides. A good choice for environments protected from dust, and when heavy loads are a consideration. Positive stops prevent over-travel. Rollers improve capacity 8-10 times that of balls. Alternately crossed rollers handle force in any direction. Lightweight aluminium carriage and base. Interchangeable with many types of ball slides. Four tapped carriage holes and two counter bored base holes simplify installation and component mounting.
High capacity, square gib slides are ideal for precision machine tool applications.
The square gib design offers high load capacity and accuracy and withstands force in any direction. Gib is adjustable. Straight line accuracy 0.00254mm. Base is fabricated from A2 tool steel and hardened to Rc58-62. Saddle or riding portion of the slide is fabricated from low carbon steel and can be drilled, tapped and milled for mounting purposes. All slides feature Rulon bearing material for low friction. Stick-slip is virtually non existent as friction at startup and low speeds is virtually eliminated. No lubrication required. Rulon is practically inert to acids, bases and solvents making these slides a good choice for contaminated environments. Temp range minus 240 oC to +300 Deg C.
