Long carriage means greater capacity
November 1st 2007 Introduction of a long carriage version of the HepcoMotion SBD sealed belt drive extends the application of this linear system. As well as offering higher capacity, it is more rigid and enables a Z-axis to be mounted without the need for further support. The company says that for those seeking a streamlined system with the ability to accommodate multi-directional loads, it provides a good solution. SBD incorporates a new method of sealing that prevents the ingress of dirt and debris into the system. It utilises a flush, stainless steel cover strip that runs the entire length of the high strength aluminium beam which houses the linear guide and belt. More articles from Hepco Group (UK): |
