Linear rail system is available with a variety of motor options
23 June 2010

Reliance Precision Mechatronics, the UK distributor for Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, is offering the LRS linear rail system in a variety of configurations, both motorised and non-motorised. These precision units consist of a stationary base and a load bearing carriage that travels along a rigid extruded aluminium rail.
The system is available with several in-line motor options, including a single or double stack size 17 stepper motor, a stepper motor with an integral chopper drive, or the IDEA programmable linear actuator, comprising stepper motor, drive and a controller that is programmed via a graphic user interface. The LRS is also available without a motor, allowing the designer to integrate a variety of motor types and belt and pulley configurations.
The LRS carriage controls slide bearing play with a patent pending self-adjusting linear bearing. Integrated along the entire length of the rail are 'T' slots for the mounting of limit switches and sensors. The leadscrew is manufactured from 303 stainless steel and can be Black Ice TFE coated for durable and permanent lubrication.
The standard LRS system has a general purpose leadscrew nut, but for more demanding applications, the system can be configured with an optional CMP or WDG precision anti-backlash nut.
