Haydon Linear Rail Systems
Haydon Linear Rail Systems (LRS) use a precision leadscrew assembly mechanism to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a robust aluminum linear slide. The LRS consists of a stationary base with a load bearing cariage that travels along a custom-extruded aluminum rail of varying lengths. The carriage is a small platform with sliding element linear bearings that glide within this specially configured extrusion. The Haydon leadscrew is provided with various leads and shaft end configurations that accommodate virtually any source of rotary power.
Haydon Powered Linear Rail Systems
A Haydon powered LRS uses a Haydon Size 17 Hybrid External Linear Actuator integrated into the slide for a complete single axis positioning system. For greater performance an optional Size 17 Hybrid Double Stack External Linear Actuator is also available.
Key Product Features
• "T" Slots integrated into exterior ral bottom and sides that accomodate full length support and various mounting options.
• Loads easily attach to the compact, moving carriage with four or six M4 x 0.7 size screws.
• Load bearing carriage moves efficiently and smoothly within the internal rail geometry of this specially designed aluminum extrusion.
• Rail provides end-to-end axial stability and precise motion system accuracy.
• Automatic adjustments of slide bearing play with a patent pending "anti-backlash" linear bearing.
• Rated life equals that of the existing leadscrews of similar size.
• Leadscrew end configurations adapt to various rotary motion sources.
• Designed to Metric global engineering standards.
• For extreme control, LRS can be used with Haydon's high-precision anti-backlash nuts including "C" compression style, "W" wedge style, as well as Haydon freewheeling "N" style nuts.
