Gilman USA new linear guide slides provide smooth operation and extremely accurate positioning
Grafton, WI, (For Immediate Release) - Gilman USA's
new linear guide slides provide smooth operation and extremely
high accuracy because of their low friction ball or roller bearing
and their preloaded recirculating guideways.
Gilman USA's linear guide slides are ideal for a wide variety of
applications such as CNC and laser-machining centers, drilling
machines, grinding machines, material handling equipment, industrial
robots, medical and optical equipment and other precision instruments
and devices. They are offered in widths from 9 to 24 inches and
in lengths to 96 inches. Gilman USA linear slide tolerances are: Overall
height +/- .005 in., Vertical tracking +/- .0003 in./ft., Horizontal
tracking +/- .0003 in./ft., Saddle to base parallelism +/- .0005
in./ft. and Base end perpendicularity .001 in.
The slides' uniform and low coefficient of friction allows the
use of smaller rolled or ground ball screw drives, and there is
the option to order these slides with or without rolled or ground
ball screw drives. Metric ground ball screw drives are also available.
Select drive or linear motors. Also, custom linear motors can
be fitted to these slides.
Gilman USA’s new linear guide slide catalog no. 201 includes
a section on how to select either roller or ball bearings based
on the duty cycle of the application.
In addition, seals, wipers and metal or fabric covers and coatings
are offered to help protect the slides in hazardous environments.
These coatings are resistant to wear, chemicals and corrosion.
Some coatings offer high temperature stability, nonstick surfaces
and dry film lubrication.
Gilman USA, is an ISO 9001 and 14001
registered global supplier of high-precision machine components,
including slides, spindles and customized modular components.
SKF is the world’s largest bearing manufacturer.
