HS Series
Single Guide Rail Design
(Standard) All HS slides provide a single guide rail design for superior tracking accuracy.The single raildesign maximizes accuracy because the saddle movement is controlled by one support side
wall for smoother positioning.As standard, all HS-series slides have a guaranteed straightness of travel(side-to-side and up-and-down) not to exceed 0.0005" in 12 inches, and with an accumulation not to exceed 0.00025" in each additional 12" of travel. Reference EdgeGuide Rail Low-Friction Turcite
TM Material
(Standard) As standard, HS-series slides are equipped with low friction, self-lubricating Turcite
bound to the gib and saddle way surfaces to reduce the effects of friction on the slide
assembly.This low-friction bearing material minimizes “stick-slip”, and makes wear
negligible on guiding and sliding surfaces.The use of a low-friction Turcitedoubles the load carrying capacity
of a slide.The coefficient of friction
with low-friction is 0.10;this drops
to 0.05 when combined with a
forced lubrication system.(When
neither is used, the coefficient of
friction is 0.30.) 6
