7 all Slides Reasons to choose el-tron all Slides el-tron all Slides Load Ratings and Life Estimates The rated load capacity of el-tron ball slides may be a mass load on a horizontal slide,or a force load normal to the mounting surface in any position. The rated load must be centered and distributed over the slide, and the base must be fully supported on a flat mounting surface so that the ball slide does not act as a beam subject to concentrated or distributed bending forces. Loads supported by protruding arms reduce accuracy and load capacity by acting as levers or ratio arms, and should be avoided even when load forces are small. When used at the rated load capacity and moderate speeds, a life of million cm of travel can be expected. The expected life at one half the rated load is million cm. 1. Factory preload adjustment prevents sideplay and backlash.. Lightweight aluminum carriage and base with high load capacity. 3. uilt-in holes simplify installation and component mounting.. Steel shafts, ground over the entire length, reduce coefficient of friction to.3.. Long life, self cleaning ball bearing needs no lubrication.. Mounting surfaces, parallel to the line of motion, provide straight line accuracy to.mm/mm of travel. Friction and Lubrication The coefficient of friction is lower for linear ball bearings than for rotary bearings, where the peripheral track is shorter on the inner race than on the outer race, causing the ball to skid on one or the other. The balls run exactly equal distances on the pair of tracks in linear bearings, permitting the ball to run without friction, wear, or skidding at any preload. The typical coefficient of friction for el-tron ball slides is.3. el-tron ball slides are self cleaning in normal service. Lubrication is recommended for speeds above cm/min, and is advisable at lower speeds where high loads are applied in continuous duty applications. Mounting and ccuracy The mounting surfaces of the ball slide are machined flat and smooth, and parallel to each other and the line of motion. They must be mounted on smooth, flat supports that will not deflect under load. Especially with long slides of small cross section, binding may be caused by distortion of the bottom member when mounted on irregular surfaces. If so, round shims or spacers may be placed over the mounting screws to raise the slide above the surface asperities. edding in epoxy resin is also recommended. The specified accuracy for all standard el-tron ball slides is.mm/mm of travel. This is measured by comparison of the line of travel to a master straight edge, using a gage or indicator mounted on the slide. 7

10 nti-reep Linear Slides Reasons to choose el-tron nti-reep all Slides 1. Ideal for vertical applications.. Increased life with overhanging loads. 3. Positive internal stops.. Low friction, straight line design.. Factory preload controls side play and backlash...mm/m straight line accuracy. el-tron nti-reep Slides In certain applications, uneven loads, improper preload, vertical mounting, or offset forces may cause the ball retainers to become misaligned relative to each other. The misalignment ( creep ) can ultimately cause a reduction in overall travel, the need for increased force to achieve full travel and even failure of the assembly. el-tron s nti-reep retainer design prevents these problems. The single piece retainer and integral positive end stops prevent ball retainer misalignment and help keep the rolling elements centered in the assembly. The retainer is molded of engineering plastic and slotted in the center. owel pins mounted in the base and carriage limit the travel of the retainer and help to keep it centered in the slide for full travel and extended life. In applications in which retainer misalignment is a concern, el-tron nti-reep slides demonstrate greatly increased life and improved performance. nti-reep slides have been extensively tested in el-tron s internal testing facility and successfully used in the field for over seven years. If you are concerned that your application may induce uneven loads or forces or if the need for a slide operating vertically exists, consider el-tron s nti-reep retainer design. 1

16 rossed Roller Slides Reasons to choose el-tron rossed Roller Slides el-tron rossed Roller Slides el-tron s new series of crossed roller slides, offer designers additional flexibility in their choice of ready to install components for precision linear transfer. Our crossed roller slides, when compared to our ball slide products of equal size, offer higher load carrying capacity and, when operating at high cycling rates or with shock and overhanging loads, improved performance. Most importantly, our crossed roller slides provide high accuracy,.3mm/mm of travel, and repeatability,.3mm, exceeding our precision ball slides. lthough crossed roller slides cost more than equivalent size ball slides, their overall performance, especially in applications where heavy loads must be moved in compact assemblies, often justifies selection. 1. Positive stops prevent overtravel.. Rollers improve load capacity -1 times that of balls. 3. Precision ground shafts provide straight line accuracy of.3mm per mm of travel.. lternately crossed rollers handle force in any direction.. Lightweight aluminum carriage and base.. Interchangeable with many types of ball slides. Operation rossed roller slides physically resemble ball slides except for the bearing design. Specifically, each slide is comprised of an aluminum carriage straddling an aluminum base. Using a bearing system containing cylindrical steel rollers, the carriage glides, almost friction free, over the base. The rollers, alternately crisscrossed with each other, move between a set of, partially flat, parallel, smooth rods on each side of the base. The rollers share a larger contact surface with the rods as compared to the point contact of steel balls. This bearing design allows crossed roller slides to carry larger loads and absorb greater load impacts than equivalent size ball slides. rossed roller slides are not as naturally self-cleaning in operation as ball slides. In operating environments, with little or no protection against dust and when heavy loads are not a consideration, consider el-tron ball slides. Wide Selection el-tron offers over 7 models of crossed roller slides. Load capacities range from 1 kg to 3 kg, with travel from mm to 3mm. Installation into your system is simple. ounterbored holes in the base permit quick attachment to your assembly. omponents attach to the carriage in the existing threaded mounting holes. 1

Friction-free linear ball or roller slides.. ccurate, repeatable linear travel.. ompact adaptable configuration.. daptable to standard Nema onfigurations. ompact Posi-rive series LS and LRS stages have a height of only 1.9mm and a width of only.mm. These stages provide the same outstanding.3mm straight line accuracy per mm of travel and.3mm repeatability as the larger LS3 series Posi-rive line. The new smaller stages also offer a compact, flexible configuration and are adaptable to standard Nema configurations. The LS Posi-rive stages offer a. diameter mm lead screw, an anti-backlash nut and a flexible zero backlash coupling that accepts a Nema 17 motor. They provide a load-carrying capacity of up to 7. kg. The stages are available in travel lengths ranging from mm - mm. el-tron also provides special configurations, motor mounts, hand crank actuation and a variety of leads and pitches. The new positioners are available with either linear ball or crossed roller slides and can be configured for one, two, or three-axis positioning. In the ball slide version, precision steel balls roll in the raceway grooves with contact at four points, enabling load and moment to be carried on all directions. Rolling resistance is extremely low, ensuring smooth and stable operation. rossed roller slides physically resemble ball slides except for the bearing design. The rollers share a larger contact surface with the rods as compared to the point contact of steel balls. This bearing design allows crossed roller slides to carry larger loads and absorb greater load impacts than equivalent size ball slides. 3

42 Friction Free ir ctuator Reasons to choose el-tron ir ctuators el-tron ir ctuators Pneumatically actuated crossed roller slide assemblies controlled by a pair of irpot actuators, provide extremely low friction and stiction characteristics. light touch or physical obstruction will stop the unit s movement to prevent damage to delicate and expensive equipment and parts. Low pressure operation is possible. The PNRE series requires less than 1 psi to operate. 1. Low Pressure operation: <1 PSI. Low Friction: <1gm 3. Wide range variable speed: smooth, slow and high speed capabilities.. Precise, gentle handling of wafers, chips and surface mount devices.. Ideal for fluid sample handling and adhesive deposition.. el-tronrossed Roller Slide, driven by ir ctuated ashpots, provides a frictionless interface for up to mm travel in a compact package. Each slide is comprised of an aluminum carriage straddling an aluminum base. Using a bearing system containing cylindrical steel rollers, the carriage glides, almost friction-free, over the base. The rollers, alternately crisscrossed with each other, move between a set of four, partially flat, parallel, smooth rods on each side of the base. The el-tron Straight Line esign makes possible the low stiction and friction characteristics el-trons are known for, unlike recirculating designs in which the rolling elements must turn corners and often slide against each other as they travel. irpot Pneumatic ctuators are ultra low friction devices designed to provide precise, repeatable motion at very high or low speeds without seals or lubrication. They run clean and operate over a wide temperature range with no change in performance. The basic construction consists of a graphitized carbon piston, precision ground to millionths of an inch TIR, inside an annealed, borosilicate glass cylinder with a precision fire polished bore.

The hardened steel rollers are captive in a stainless steel cage for easy handling and assembly and permanent alignment. The ways are installed face to face by the user, with the rollers between the vee grooves. Stainless Steel also available. pplication earings are normally supplied and installed in sets of two to form an assembly that can support their rated load in any direction or orientation, and can be preloaded to eliminate side play. Mounting and banking surfaces must be smooth and flat, and accurately parallel, coplanar, or perpendicular respectively to achieve maximum accuracy. Preload forces must be evenly distributed. irt and dust must be excluded. Lubrication required depends on the application, ranging from light grease or oil at the time of installation for low speeds (less that 17mm/min.) and occasional movement to continuous oil bath or mist at 3,mm/min.

The number of rollers supplied with each standard bearing set provides a travel distance of approximately % of the way length (see page ). In some cases (e.g., when mounting space is restricted) it may be practical to increase travel at the expense of load capacity by removing one or more rollers instead of selecting a longer bearing. Since travel extends symmetrically around the mean position, the travel increase is twice the pitch for each roller removed. Similarly, the load capacity for the set (page ) is reduced by twice the load capacity per roller.

Stainless steel type available.. Extra wide type available. ompact, lightweight, and low price. The block is a simple structure, so the slide guide is compact and inexpensive. Its compactness and light weight also make this product optimum for linear operation at high speed. High load capacity utilizing the R-shaped groove. The raceway surface over which the balls roll is an R-shaped groove, offering a large contact area. Therefore, the product features a large load capacity and a long effective life. Four-point contact to carry load and moment in all directions. The Gothic arch groove, where the balls contact the raceway surface at four points, enables the load and moment to be carried in all directions. Stainless steel type (SGS) is available. The SGS type uses stainless steel for the block and guide rail, thus having superior corrosion resistance. Extra wide type (SGW) is also available. With its increased number of rolling elements and increased width, this unit can replace the use of two linear guides. Stiffness in regard to moment load is increased, thus creating an effective compact linear motion mechanism. Slide guides are supplied with temporary ends stops. They are not to be used as positive stops. 1

The recommended heights of the shoulders of the mounting planes are as shown in the table. To attain high accuracy, it is recommended to finish the mounting planes of the bed and table to an accuracy the same as or better than that of the guide rail and block. Recommended Tightening Torques: The recommended tightening torques for the mounting bolts (hex socket head bolts) are shown here. Fixing Method Unit: N m Fig. Nominal olt Size M M3 M M Tightening Torques To install a SG Slide Guide (Fig. ), confirm the reference planes as shown in Figure 1, then let the reference planes of the bed and table make close contact with the reference planes of the object and fix them. When using two guide rails, fix the reference side in a state in which it is closely contacted with the reference plane. Fix the adjustment side after adjusting the traveling state with either the guide rails or the block in a free state.
