Reliance has introduced a range of screw driven linear slides offering high linear speed, accurate positioning, and long life in a compact assembly. Standard leads of 2.54mm, 5.08mm, 12.70mm and 25.4mm are available, making speeds of more than 1.5 metres per second (60 inches per second) possible. This rivals belts and cables while offering superior positioning accuracy, repeatability and axial stiffness.
The Reliance RGLS slides consist of a precision aluminium guide and carriage driven by a precision rolled stainless steel leadscrew. Integration of the leadscrew and slide into one neat, space saving package provides an economical solution with fewer parts which also facilitates assembly. The moving surfaces include high performance proprietary polymers running on a unique TFE coating.
With a unique, compact profile the slides provide exceptional torsional stiffness and stability for their size and weight and the integral mounting base allows support over the entire length if desired. Lengths up to 2.4 metres (8 feet) can readily be built and longer lengths are possible on a special order basis.
The Reliance RGLS slides come with a wear compensating, anti-backlash driven carriage as standard. Additional driven or passive carriages can be added, along with application specific customisation. Linear guides, without the drive screw, are also available. All configurations offer plug and play convenience with the performance and value you expect from Reliance products.
