CAM ROLLER TECHNOLOGY

PBC Linear’s CAM Roller Technology (CRT) is based on a steel or plastic rollers mounted to a carriage rolling and against a precision guiding surface. They offer high speed up to 10 m/s and load capacities up to 353 KN in compact packages and are immune to contamination.  The guide rails are available in aluminum with steel inserts; Redi-Rail® and Integral V® and solid steel; Commercial Rail, V-Guide, Hardened Crown Roller, Steel-Rail, Mini-Rail® Roller and Hevi-Rail® in continuous lengths to 5 meters that can be easily joined for longer lengths.

Cam Roller Technology provides medium accuracy for applications ranging from office and medical diagnostic machines to conveyors handling automotive dies. Linear Guide Rails can be plated and are available in 440RC stainless steel for corrosion resistance. All carriages are made out of aluminum except Hevi-Rail® which is steel. Optional custom carriage designs are available

The RediRail® system starts with aluminum extrusions which are post processed to ensure accuracy.  Steel races, using our RS technology, are precisely fixed. The resulting rail is a strong, light weight product which is suitable for high speed (5m/s), low friction, and low noise applications. Rails are available in lengths up to 5 meters and are end joinable for extended spans and handle loads to 4,400N.

The preassembled sliders for RediRail® have an aluminum alloy body, hardened and ground gothic arch rollers that are lubricated for life and sealed against contamination.  The inch version has factory set preloads. The metric version has the patented side accessible pre-load adjustment and integrated wiper/lubricator for years of trouble free life.

• Precision engineering, +/-.001” parallelism
• High speed applications
• Long lengths - up to 1200mm
• Strong and lightweight

V-Guide System is an excellent solution for applications requiring high speed and medium accuracy in harsh environments. Low noise operation and simple mounting and alignment are also characteristics of the V-Guide system. Components are available in steel or stainless steel. Rails are hardened and ground for very smooth, precise, and long lasting use and are available to 5 M in length.  Loads to 10,000 N per wheel.  Adjustable and fixed bushings are available for easy instillation.

• Handles harsh environments
• High accuracy and repeatability
• Low noise operation
• Simple mounting and alignment
• High Load Capacity

Hevi-Rai® is an extreme high load capacity linear bearing system that is cost effective for medium to low precision applications. It is easy to mount, align and use; and has high radial and axial load capacities which ensure a long and productive life. Standard lengths up to 6 meters. Bearing capacities from 5.4 to 41.1 kN and 0.6 to 4.6 US Ton-Force with system loads up to 60 tons. Hevi-Rai® is perfect for custom lift units, lift trucks, and heavy load conveying applications in the aerospace, paper, steel and coil industries. The Hevi-Rai® system components include: Rollers, rollers with axial rollers, guide rails, clamp flanges, and flange plates.

• Economical assembly and interchangeable
• Fixed or adjustable bearings
• Handles loads up to 60 tons
• Rails up to 6m

As with the regular Redi-Rail, Low Profile Redi-Rail starts with high quality aluminum extrusions which are post processed to ensure parallelism and accuracy. Steel races, using our RS technology, are precisely fixed. The resulting rail is a strong, light weight product which is suitable for high speed, low friction, low noise applications, while having a much lower profile than the standard RediRail®. Guide rails are available in lengths up to 3 meters and are end joinable for extended spans.

The wider stance of RediRail® Low profile also provides higher moment capacity and the carriage is available as a flat mounting plate, with t-slots, and wide with t-slots, and lubricator/wipers.

• Optional T-slots for ease of mounting
• Low profile for compact spaces
• End joinable for long runs
• High speed, high precision
• Multiple carriage designs

The guide is manufactured from a low cost post processed aluminum extrusion to ensure accuracy.  The roller carriage features fixed sealed and lubricated polymer covered rollers for smooth and quiet operation.  The guide rail is ceramic coated for long life and corrosion resistance and is available to 3.5 meters.  All hardware is stainless and the carriage is anodized aluminum.  Speeds to 5 m/s and loads to 205

• Low friction & breakaway force
• End joinable for long runs
• Smooth quiet rollers
• Corrosion-resistant

The Commercial Rail® features compact, roll formed plated steel or stainless steel rails with eccentric preloadable roller carriage.  A low cost and corrosion resistance system for less demanding linear guide applications. Optional plastic coated rollers provides for very quiet operation.  Rails are available to 5 meters in length and loads up to 1,740 N.

• Rollers available in chrome steel or stainless steel
• Wear and corrosion resistant
• Roll formed for tight tolerances
• Adjustable preload
• Compact design

The RediRail® Steel Rail guide is a high load capacity, self aligning and self adjusting rail and slider combination which has improved corrosion resistance and innovative wear resistance.  Rail lengths to 4 meters and loads to 27,000 N.

The preassembled sliders are steel with a unique hardened and ground double row sealed ball bearing roller design that optimizes rigidity and are lubricated for life.  End wiper/lubricators prevent the egress of contamination and ensure long life. 

• S-shaped stainless frame
• Heavy-duty telescoping, up to 910lbs.
• Rollers pre-loaded at factory
• Oil-impregnated wipers
• Sealed steel bearings

RediRail® Steel-Rail Flexible Guide is extremely versatile medium accuracy linear rail guide having a unique design as its rail offers three protruding hardened raceways, angled at 90° intervals. The rails are pre-drilled for ease of assembly. The system has a high load capability and rigidity.  Rollers are available with eccentric and concentric bores for preload and feature a unique floating roller design coupled with the guiding roller allowing for out of parallel guide rails.  Rails are available to 4 meters and an extra heavy duty rail is available for more rigidity and each roller can handle up to 3,600 N

• Unique Design
• Three protruding raceways
  —offered in 90 ° intervals
• Extremely versatile linear system

The Hardened Crown Roller line is a low cost light weight system suitable for doors, overhead guiding systems, and assembly lines. Rails are available up to 10 feet in unpainted or black powder coat finish steel. Maximum bearing load is 300 lbs.

Rollers are pre-lubricated and sealed and feature a threaded stud shaft in inch or metric for easy installation. The hardened crown of the roller provides self-alignment, good strength, and long life. Accessories include Angle Brackets, and End Stops.
