Based on the proven Generation II range, Hepco's SL2 System offers the user basic interchangeability with Gen II and GV3 components in an extensive linear range consisting of stainless steel Bearing Assemblies, Flat Slides and Spacer Slides. A complementary range of lightweight aluminium Carriage Plates and Flange Clamps is also available, with special surface treatment providing corrosion resistance better than most stainless steels. This process is approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for use in food processing machinery. Features and Benefits Hardened and ground Slides for...

SL2 offers excellent performance through a quality manufacturing process and careful selection of materials, and has been designed to provide the ideal combination of corrosion resistance and long service life even in the most arduous application. The SL2 range of Slides is very extensive, comprising seven Flat Slide sections and four Spacer Slide sections. This very wide range ensures that the most suitable Slide can always be specified for any application. All except the smallest are available in 4 metre lengths, ground on all main surfaces with hardened 'V' running faces. SL2 Carriages...

Carriages can be supplied by Hepco fitted with: BEARING ASSEMBLIES ONLY - for dry or minimum friction applications. CAP SEALS - to shroud the Bearing Assemblies - for excellent lubrication and sealing quality. LUBRICATORS - for the application of lubricant with lower friction. All components are available individually for customers who wish to construct their own Carriage Plates, or where the Carriage may be part of the machine structure. All Bearing Assemblies are of stainless steel construction, in either Twin Bearing or Double Row format, and are supplied lubricated for life. They...

Application Examples Industrial Applications SL2 System is used for vertical and horizontal guidance on a bottle filling machine in the cosmetics industry. Spacer Slides are shown fixed to the machine structure on the horizontal axis. Short undrilled Spacer Slides are used on the vertical axis supported one end only by long type Flange Clamps. Hepco Carriage Plates are shown used throughout. Alternatively, Bearing Assemblies and Cap Seals can be mounted direct to the moving components of the machine. Care should be taken to ensure parallelism of opposing Slides during installation. Twin...

Application Examples Scientific/Test Applications SL2 System is used for telescopic horizontal guidance in a Nuclear Industry drum handling application. Vertical movement is provided by a scissor lift. The environment experiences a low level of radiation, therefore the Bearing Assemblies are supplied with special grease lubrication internally. The system is required to be all stainless steel, therefore the standard coated aluminium Carriage Plates have been replaced by specials, manufactured by Hepco to the customer’s drawings. External lubrication of the Slides is not possible in this...

SL2 can be ordered as individual components or as a Factory Assembled System. Ready-assembled Carriages are available with just the Bearing Assemblies fitted, or with the addition of either Cap Seals or Lubricators. Assembled carriages can also be ordered in a controlled height version (CHK) which minimises variation in the AA dimension*5. This is desirable in high precision applications. (see Stock SL2 Carriage table page 9). The following three pages show important reference dimensions between assembled components, as well as the maximum overall sizes of the assemblies. Other dimensions...

The dimensions shown in the tables relate to the standard combination of Bearing Assembly and Slide. However, since a common 700 angle is maintained, Hepco components may be 'mixed and matched' in most circumstances (see note 1). Customer constructed Carriage Plate option Notes (continued): 2. Customers constructing their own Carriage Plate should drill the Bearing Assembly hole centres according to 'D' dimension, to a recommended tolerance of ±0.2mm. Holes should be drilled and reamed to size and tolerance per 'R' dimension, page 15. 3. Although Dimension 'E' is expressed as minimum...

Assembled Systems Blind Hole Fixing Bearing Assemblies are for use where access to the back of the mounting plate is not possible or where the thickness of the mounting plate prevents use of the Through Hole Fixing Bearing Assemblies. These circumstances are not relevant to the use of Hepco Carriage Plates, therefore systems using Blind Hole Fixing Bearing Assemblies are not available factory assembled. Assembled Systems Incorporating Blind Hole Fixing Bearing Assemblies and Lubricators Blind Hole Fixing Bearing Assembly - Eccentric Spacer Slide Flat Slide Blind Hole Fixing Bearing Assembly...

Ordering Assembled Systems The table below shows the combinations of components available to make up a Factory Assembled Carriage. Pages 10 to 17 detailing individual components will aid the selection of assembled systems, and will explain the relative merits of various component choices e.g. Cap Seals versus Lubricators, Twin versus Double Row Bearing Assemblies. Once the component combination for an assembled system has been decided upon, the table below can be consulted for availability and a part number specified according to the table and the ordering details shown. Slide Part Number...

Stainless Steel Spacer and Flat Slides Hepco SL2 stainless steel Slides are zone hardened on the 'V' edges and precision ground on all main surfaces to a high degree of parallelism. Slide fixing holes are accurately positioned, allowing Customers to pre-drill their mounting holes. All Hepco Slides are left 'soft' in the centre portion for subsequent machining if required. However, since SL2 Slides are specially finished to promote resistance to corrosion, Customers should be aware that machining may reduce localised corrosion resistance. To maximise corrosion resistance following machining,...
