www.danahermotion.com 211 Thomson RoundRail Linear Guides and Components RoundRail Linear Guides RoundRail Linear Guides Thomson RoundRail Linear Guide products offer: Pre-assembled, ready to install stages providing low friction, smooth, accurate motion for a wide range of moment or normal loading configurations. Market applications include factory automation, medical, packaging, machine tool, semiconductor, printing, automotive assembly, aerospace and food processing. Slide tables are available as customizable linear guides to multiaxis, turnkey systems complete with motors, drives, controls and electromechanical accessories. • Applications-typically on factory machinery where accurate, smooth linear positioning is required • Available with servo/stepper motor & drive packages • Max thrust to 3100 lb • Strokes to 120” • Loads from 5 - 2000 lb • Repeatability to 0.0002” Linear Guides are the non-driven building blocks for linear slide tables. They offer the end user flexibility to fit specific envelopes by allowing customized separations between shafts and between bearings on shafts to produce higher moment capacity. When combined with ballscrew assemblies, they become a driven slide table. Because RoundRail Linear Guides are offered in a wide range of sizes, bearing types, and mounting configurations, they are typically selected by the qualitative attributes that are most appropriate for a given application (i.e. environmental considerations, mounting footprint). For this reason, we are providing the following selection chart and selection criteria for consideration: RoundRail Linear Guide Selection Criteria • Load/Life • Smoothness of Travel • Cost of Product • Travel Accuracy • Speed & Acceleration • Cost of Installation • Rigidity • Envelope • Cost of Replacement • Environment Application Examples • Machine Tools • Semiconductor Equipment • Packaging Machinery • Medical Equipment • Automotive Assembly Equipment • Food Processing Equipment RoundRail Linear Guides
