The rail, normally mounted to the fixed part |
 |
of the machine, is specially designed |
 |
anodized aluminum extrusion |
 |
The steel slider body, normally mounted to |
 |
the moving structure, has six radial |
 |
ball-bearing "rollers" mounted in such a way |
 |
as to allow optimal contact on the four |
 |
internal raceways |
 |
The linear contact between the rollers and |
 |
the raceways minimizes wear and maximizes |
 |
load capacity, assuring a long lifetime |
 |
The patented design of the two-piece |
 |
slider allows the cross-mounted rollers |
 |
to run inside the load-carrying aluminum rail |
 |
without play. It also allows the fast and |
 |
simple setting of preload. With the XSP |
 |
version, the orientation of some of the |
 |
rollers can be inverted, allowing the |
 |
inversion of the preferential load direction |
