Introducing the HepcoMotion

®

GV3

linear guidance and transmission system

The GV3 linear guidance and transmission system has been designed to provide the customer with an unrivalled choice of sizes and options to cater for virtually every linear motion requirement.In devising GV3, HepcoMotion has retained the best features of their highly successful Generation 2 and CM Slide systems in a greatly expanded range. Many new components have been added including single edge slides, flat tracks and drive options.Customers may now choose slides from three grades of pre-cision and combine them with either twin bearings, double row bearings or low cost slimline bearings. This enables the ideal system to be specified for optimum performance within the budget available.The reliability of the all steel slideway and V bearing con-cept has been proved conclusively over nearly fifty years. Improvements are continually being made to this fundamen- tally sound design resulting in a truly evolutionary system for the 21st century.By choosing GV3, customers can be assured of a quality and performance which surpasses all expectations.

GV3 Benefits

SMOOTH: â—� High accuracy and fine finish of components allows constant driving force without vibration. â—� Friction free motion allows smaller, lower cost motors to be selected. FAST: â—� Optimized bearing and slide interface design enables very high speeds with low wear. â—� Low stick friction and low inertia of bearing rotation allows fast acceleration for shortest stroke.ACCURATE: â—� High degree of slide parallelism and minimum bearing clearance results in virtually zero play. â—� Important dimensions accurately controlled for reliable system height and positional accuracy.QUIET: â—� Specially designed bearing and slide geometry results in one of the quietest slide systems available.DURABLE: â—� All steel slideway three times stiffer than composite aluminum slide systems. â—� Rugged construction suits high duty applications and harsh environments. â—� Lubrication devices available maximizes life with no relubrication necessary in most instances. â—� Unique wiping action expels debris in environments where other systems fail. â—� Compliant bearing design for tolerance of misalignment. â—� Reliable performance confirmed by testing specify GV3 with confidence.SIMPLE: â—� Easily understood proven technology little to go wrong and simple to maintain.VERSATILE: â—� Huge range of sizes, types and ancillary components available provides solution to most design problems. â—� Long lengths available up to 4 m in most sizes saves on assembly time. â—� Available as assembled unit or in component form provides maximum flexibility of design. â—� Works in any plane and orientation unrestricted use in machine construction. â—� Operates without lubrication ideal for food machinery and clean applications. â—� Driven systems available complete solutions from a single source saves design and administration time.ECONOMIC: â—� Choice of slide precision and bearing design to match cost/performance requirements. â—� Designed for minimum installation time significantly reduces cost.
