Micromech offers transport-grade profile rail linear guides for cost-sensitive applications
Micromech
Thomson 400 series of profile rail linear guides
The Thomson 400 series of transport-grade profile rail linear guides from Micromech is suitable for cost-sensitive applications and is designed as a drop-in replacement with industry-standard envelope and hole patterns.
The double-faced ball track bearing arrangements are said to provide compliance during installation as well as equal load-carrying capacity in all directions.
Caged and non-caged carriages utilise the same rail design, enabling the efficient use of inventory since only one rail type needs to be stocked for either carriage type.
Features include a polymer ball-return tube that reduces noise and vibration while retaining lubrication and standard double lip-end and longitudinal seals that protect the bearing from contamination.
According to the company, double-faced ball tracks utilise a 45° face-to-face bearing arrangement and the 413 ball cage option provides increased travel smoothness, lower noise at high speeds and individual lubricant reservoirs.
