SMOOTH: ΢׏ High accuracy and fine finish of components allows constant driving force without vibration. ● Friction free motion allows smaller, lower cost motors to be selected. FAST: ● Optimized bearing and slide interface design enables very high speeds with low wear. ● Low stick friction and low inertia of bearing rotation allows fast acceleration for shortest stroke.ACCURATE: ● High degree of slide parallelism and minimum bearing clearance results in virtually zero play. ● Important dimensions accurately controlled for reliable system height and positional accuracy.QUIET: ● Specially...

Fixing Slides to Tubular Framework > Single edge flat slides have been designed to attach to the edges of many sizes of square or rectangular tube with sufficient protrusion of the slide V running face to provide clearance for bearings and lubrication devices. The fixing hole positions have been regulated to clear the external corner radius of the tube and to allow attachment by means of standard sizes of hexagon bar. Alternatively, slides can be attached by "flowdrilling" or by welding. Low Height System > A very compact slide system can be achieved by using flat slides in conjunction with...

Eccentric (E) Example shows the possibility to adjust the HepcoMotion GV3 slide system in one plane, thus avoiding the necessity for precision drilling and fitting. (E) (E) > Where very light loads are anticipated, three bearings may be used instead of the usual configuration of four. This saves on component cost and assembly time. (E) Eccentric (E)(E)(E) Concentric (C)(C) > For increased load capacity, additional eccentric bearings may be installed in between the outermost ones. Multiple bearing installations benefit from the use of controlled height bearings which ensure better load...
