In Brief

The AccuSlide^TM Model 2HB low-profile, pre-engineered, pre-assembled linear motion stage from Thomson Industries Inc. features prealigned AccuGlide^TM linear guides and an integral preloaded ball screw assembly.

Rubber-covered conveyer belts from Aarubco Rubber Co. meet extrusion equipment production demands for quality assurance and equipment uptime and maintain consistent shape and size of extruded plastics, wire, or cable. The belts cushion, hold, and provide the least amount of pressure needed to pull the extrusion to prevent deformities from occurring. Because the belt is in direct contact with the extruded product, maintaining tight belt tolerances minimizes extrusion variances and assures consistent part quality, the company says.

Simplicity® self-lube square bearings from Pacific Bearing Co. create a non-rotational unit, eliminating the need for two parallel shafts. The bearings run on a buffed and polished 300 Series stainless shaft.
