Fasteners & Fixings ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE CREATES REMARKABLE NEW FRICTION GUIDES Using engineering expertise gained from the development of class-leading telescopic slides, a new range of linear friction guides is launched. Friction guides use a plain bearing surface with no rolling elements. The lack of exposed moving parts makes this solution ideal for harsh environments where dust, sand or dirt particles might be present. Compared to equivalent recirculating ball bearing slides, they are lighter, easier to use and engineered to minimise stress and wear on the friction elements; a durable and reliable system. The new linear bearing guides showcase all the benefits that customers have come to expect of Accuride products from JET PRESS - ease of use, superior performance and designed-in reliability. The strong engineering pedigree has delivered a friction guide that, thanks to its extra- tough anodised aluminium track and superior polymer guide, is hardwearing and long-lasting. This longevity adds to the low total cost of ownership and also makes it an attractive alternative to applications that might be over-engineered with costlier solutions. Three variants of the new friction guide are available; non-adjustable, manual adjust and auto-adjust. The height, width and hole pitches all comply to ISO 12090 standard to ensure compatibility to existing systems. Tracks are available in two standard lengths of 1 or 2 metres and seamlessly fit together to form a track of any length for the bearing blocks to traverse freely along.
