Hepco LoPro Hepco LoPro has been introduced to provide the designer with a lightweight yet rugged linear slide system. LoPro is aluminiumbased with steel tracks securely ﬁxed, and is ideal for applications requiring medium accuracy guidance. A range of track widths is available to closely match the requirements of a wide range of machine designs. As it’s name suggests, LoPro is compact and has a low overall proﬁle making it suitable for space restricted applications where good load capacity is needed. The unique Track Plate design incorporates a recess which can be used to accept the chosen...

System Composition/Design Points Hepco LoPro consists of an aluminium base plate with hardened ‘vee’ track, comprising the Track Plate Assembly, and an aluminium carriage plate with four guide wheels comprising the Wheel Plate Assembly. The Track Plate Assembly is exceptionally rigid - the ‘vee’ track is securely ﬁxed to the aluminium base plate by a number of bolts screwed into tapped holes along the track length. This method of ﬁxing ensures that the track does not move on its base when heavy loads are applied. The standard track is carbon steel, with stainless steel track and stainless...

System Dimensions Track Plate Assembly 1. Tolerances on all dimensions in the above tables (except X) will be ± 0.1mm. Overall length tolerance L will be controlled to within ±0.5mm. Track parallelism is ± 0.04mm over a 3 metre length. 2. Length L should be speciﬁed as multiples of C + (2X). Non standard lengths can be supplied to customer’s requirements. In these cases please contact Hepco’s Technical Department for positioning of base and track holes. Maximum lengths in one piece: Size Size Size Size Example: Size 3 Track plate Total standard length 1428mm = 9 x C + 2X = 9 x 152 + 2(30)...

Technical Data The load and life for Hepco LoPro systems will be determined by several factors including system size, the number and arrangement of wheel plates, the type and direction of the applied loads, speed of travel, length of stroke and the state of lubrication. System size Wheel Plate * Load ﬁgures should be reduced by 25% where the Stainless Steel option is speciﬁed. Figures for wiper wheel plates are based on the basic dynamic load rating of the bearings. The figures for basic wheel plates assume unlubricated operation. If adequate alternative means of lubrication is provided,...

The life figures quoted above are based on the theoretical (L10) life for each wheel and assume that the system is running in a normal shock-free duty, that the stroke is longer than the wheel plate and that the system is adequately lubricated (for lubricated operation). Any adverse conditions will reduce the system life, so it is recommended to use a generous factor of safety where conditions are less than ideal, or where the reliability required is high. Once this load factor has been calculated, the resultant figure should be inserted into the appropriate life formula below, to calculate...
