Cutting edge technology and design
enhancements used to manufacture and develop PBC Linear’s Profile Rail
Technology (PRT) provide PBC Linear’s medical and laboratory customers a
competitive edge. Optimization of ball recirculation and internal
lubrication systems provide compact-precision, smooth, quiet and trouble
free linear motion at a lower cost!
The special steel alloy profile rail is
induction heat treated using the latest in CNC equipment and is
controlled to precise depth and hardness. Specially designed long
length CNC grinders, precision grind all surfaces simultaneously
ensuring accurate, smooth motion no matter what length! The
internal design of the runner block/carriages provides vibration-free
ball recirculation and optional ball retaining caged carriages provide
up to 84% less noise and up to 19% more load capacity for a nominal
cost. The internal lubrication system of the runner blocks allows
for minimal maintenance and long life. The caged runner blocks add
additional lubrication via special reservoirs built into the cage. Both
versions feature a new end seal design and unique pop-in longitudinal
seals that keep containments out of the bearings and lubrication inside.
This leads to, depending on the application, no additional lubrication
or maintance for the life of the machine; resulting in clean performance
and long lasting guidance for medical equipment.
Profile Rail Linear Guides Excelling in
Medical FieldFour row angular ball contact between the runner block and
guide rail races ensure rigidity and accuracy—a must in the medical
industry. This also promotes even disbursement of loads in all
directions; so there is no de-rating dependent on the mounting!
The runner blocks also contain a new polymer tube design that reduces
noise and vibration. This ensures PRT linear guides will sustain precise
linear motion and high repeatability throughout the life of the
product.
Industry size interchangeable and available
in various preloads and accuracies, PBC Linear’s PRT linear guides are a
low cost solution for most applications.
