Linear slides

June 9, 2008

Kerk Motion Products has presented its RGSW and RGSWX Series Slides, which the company says provide both exceptional value and linear motion performance to engineers in demanding industries such as the semiconductor industry. Like the original RGS slides, the RGSW and RGSWX slides offer precision motion and their patented design allows high linear speeds without critical speed concerns.

They offer thicker and wider bases than the original RGS slides, and both the RGSW and RGSWX series include direct sensor mounting systems and the RGSWX slides with direct motor mounting can accept NEMA-frame motors without any modifications or additional fabrication. Requiring no maintenance or lubrication, the anti-backlash slides can be manufactured in lengths up to eight feet. Longer lengths are possible on a custom basis. Additional carriages can be mounted on the rail for additional support required by larger loads or unusual mounting configurations.
