News Release Increase Accuracy and Decrease Cost with the PL Series • Low Cost System • Highly Accurate • T-slots for Easy Mounting • High Load Capability Roscoe, IL – June 23, 2008 Pacific Bearing Company is pleased to announce its brand new line of linear actuators. With the reputation for providing the most innovative solutions to the most difficult applications, PBC has recently introduced the PL series linear actuator—a highly accurate system with a high load capability. Given the broad selection of ball screws available, the PL series is the logical choice for a wide range of applications where accuracy is a must! The PL series’ simple, precision machined aluminum design allows for both easy installation in various applications and long lasting durability. Its machined profile provides for flushed mounting on both sides and the base for ease of installation. The magnetic seal fights off contamination and allows for the system to function from the grungiest environments—food and beverage—to the most clean—medical and pharmaceutical. Also, by eliminating the belt drive gear boxes required by similar actuators, the PL series has a lower overall system cost. With its pre-loaded ball bearing rollers guided by the patent pending Integral V™ hardened steel raceways; the PL series creates smooth precision guidance.
