Keeper Clamps

Note: Turcite™is not supplied when this option is specified.
KEEPERHARDENED RAILPISTON HYDRAULICMEDIUM For retention of the saddle with greater holding force than apower gib lock can provide, hydraulic Keeper Locks are avail- able, for any size slide.The keepers are arranged with sealed pistons that are pressurized by a hydraulic medium.Since the pressure is being distributed over a large surface area, hydraulic keeper locks provide optimum holding force.

Shot Pin Locator

A Shot Pin Locator provides accurate positioning of the saddle at any point along the axis of travel, within ±.005".The shot pin mechanism contains a small low-pressure hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, which when activated by a limit switch, pushes the locating pin into a locator bushing machined in the saddle.The saddle remains in the positive stop location until the cylinder retracts the pin, allowing the saddle to continue in motion.Any number of locator bushings can be machined in the saddle for aseries of positive stop locations, while utilizing only one shot pin locating mechanism.

Linear Scale

DETECTOR HEAD LINEAR SCALE Linear scales are excellent for applications that require precise positioning over the entire range of travel.Available in either photo-optical or magnetic designs, linear scales offer the following advantages:•Ideal for high or low traverse rates•Ideal for long or short travels •Zero wear contactless •High accuracy positioning.
