PBC Linear has announced its release of a
new product technology available for 2009—Profile Rail Technology (PRT).
This technology group will consist of application specific caged and
non-caged runner blocks equipped with a revolutionized lubrication
system to ensure longer life, ability for higher load capacities, and
corrosion resistant chrome rail finishing for tolerating harsh
environments.
Backed by a new reservoir lubrication
system to ensure longer life and smooth and quiet operation, PRT’s
runner blocks are poised to provide reliable linear motion without
further lubrication. As the ball bearings circulate, they are lubricated
by end cap reservoirs, providing a protective lubrication film in the
ball tracks, facilitating a long-lasting system. The new caged type
runner blocks have additional built in oil reservoirs at every cage ball
pocket which extends or eliminates the time between lubrication
cycles. Caged runner blocks also provide up to 19% more load
capacity and reduce noise and vibration by 84% more than competing
technologies. To keep dirt out and extend life all PBC Linear
runner blocks incorporate a standard double row sealing system.

Runner
blocks are available in wide and narrow, low and high combinations, in
addition to short, long, and extra long configurations. The rails
and runner blocks are outfitted with corrosion resistant black oxide,
chrome or black chrome rail finishes—making the products fully apt in
most environments. For sustained linear motion, PRT runner blocks are
designed to last! Industry interchangeable, and available in five
application specific accuracy classes and preloads to select from,
finding the correct PBC Linear guide system to achieve your linear
motion needs is easier than ever.
Fully interchangeable with a host of
different competing linear guides, PBC Linear’s Profile Rail Technology
is a low-cost solution that ensures stable, long-lasting linear motion
guidance.
