Plain Bearing Linear Slide Systems

Simplicity® Linear Slide Technology handles heavy loads and excels in harsh, contaminated environments. Choose from modular components, standard high profile slides, and low profile slides. The basic configuration consists of Simplicity® pillow blocks and a support rail assembly. Linear Slide Technology systems can be built–up to include: parallel rails, top and bottom plates, and screw drives. Screw drives can be fitted with a hand crank, hand wheel, or a motor mount bracket for standard NEMA motors. Modular components are ideal where the customer desires a custom rail spacing dimension or a single rail. The low profile systems provide the same functionality and configuration options as the standard high profile slides and can be used in applications where height constraints prohibit the use of the standard profile systems.
