Guide units for pneumatic cylinders ISO Ø20 to Ø50 For other cylinders (not standardized) Complete guide units, or subsets (bearings, guide rods, rod couplings) to realize a guide adapted to your need and integrated to your machine Materials used in stainless steel guides These guide units are made of 304L stainless steel for environments requiring anticorrosion and resistance to certain aggressive agents.. The scrapers are in thermopolyurethane FDA approved. Polymer bearings are in Iglidur J (dry using) Bronze bearings are impregnated with oil (oil compatible with food processing areas) The ball bushings can be with FDA grease (contact us) Precautions for use in the food industry Despite the materials used, these units cannot however be used in the direct food zone without precaution (in contact with or above food), since there is a retention zone at the level of the rod coupling and that particles or drops may ooze from the guide bearings.

For pneumatic cylinders ISO Ø16 and Ø25 Guided on ball bushings Adjustable mechanical stops Manipulator made with your components = competitiveness These linear units make it possible to carry out any translation requiring precision and rigidity, to move up to 15 kg on 1, 2 or 3 axes (handling, assembly, loading, transfer, packaging …). By adding a cylinder with sensors and flow limiters as well as hydraulic shock absorbers from the supplier of your choice, you get a complete module that generally meets the requirements of the panels of suppliers, at a very competitive price.

Table for pneumatic cylinders ISO Ø16 to Ø40 Guided on ball bushings Protected by wipers seals More rigid than a H guide unit These tables maintaining the same quality of guidance and rigidity throughout the stroke. For a offcentered payload in vertical, these tables allow to be more rigid than a guide unit in H. Hydraulic shock absorber on this table A hydraulic shock absorber may be placed in opposition to the pneumatic cylinder to dampen, for example, the descent and/or limit the stroke at the output of the cylinder rod. The retracting stroke can be adjusted by the floating rod coupling. Use in harsh environment For dusty environments, additional nitrile or polyurethane scrapers can be added in front of the ball bushings. An anticorrosion version can be proposed with the rods, the coupling and the screws in stainless steel (the carriage and the plates remain in anodized aluminum). It’s possible to make these tables with plain bearings (bronze or polymer) on request.

These linear guide bearings are available in cylindrical short housings or prismatic long housings. Guided on ball bushings, bronze or polymer bearings. The housing is in anodized aluminium. To build your own linear guide These linear guide bearings make it possible to create a guide unit adapted to your needs and integrated into your machine You choose the diameter of the guide rods according to load capacity and rigidity, the type of guidance (bronze, polymer, ball bushings), the guide length (long prismatic or short cylindrical bearings) and the rods spacing according to the application. You can integrate any cylinder (type, standard, brand …) by using a cylinder rod coupling. You limit the number of parts by directly using a support of your frame and your end plate. A range of stainless steel guide bearings is also available Guide Type 34X You can also use bearing blocks

Floating rod coupling for pneumatic, electric or hydraulic cylinders Zinc steel or stainless steel 304L With axial play or adjustable play Floating coupling for cylinder rod These rod couplings make it possible to connect the rod of a pneumatic cylinder (or electric) to any part to be set in motion while avoiding any stress on the rod. They are available in 2 versions . with axial play (<0.20 mm) usual pneumatic applications and for pushing applications . with adjustable play for positioning applications => The version with axial play allows a radial compensation of the axis of the cylinder rod, it’s for usual pneumatic applications => The version with adjustable play allows the axial play to beRod coupling with adjustable axial play – reduced by screwing the cylinder rod against the internal pin and then unscrewing it slightly (then lock with the cylinder rod nut against the coupling) – removed by screwing the cylinder rod against the internal part (with tightening)

Rods for ball bushings and plain bearings Ø10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30 et 40 mm Guide rods with tapping at both ends (except stainless steel just 1 side) 4 matters hardened steel, chromed steel, stainless steel 304L, hardened stainless steel Several lenghts and special length on request.

Pneumatic cylinder double acting Guided by 2 rods on ball bushings or bronze bearings Elastic damping at end of stroke Magnetic piston and Tgroove for sensor Robust and precise compact cylinder with guide Long and precise guidance because even for very short strokes, guidance is ensured by 4 bronze bearings or 4 ball bushings as the shortest body is the 50 mm stroke for lower strokes, a stroke limiting ring is placed in the cylinder. This guidance avoids the problems of buttressing, regularly encountered with ultrashort guides. These pneumatic cylinders are robust and reliable, even at high speed thanks to screwed cylinder’s covers (no circlips) an hardanodized body at 35 μ a thick front plate allowing a long centering of the rods for a better resistance to torsion Guided cylinder for universal detector The 5 / 6.5 mm Tslots allow the use of the majority of brands of magnetic detectors on the market. Stroke adjustment on compact guided cylinder

Economical manual positioning table drived by leadscrew. Actuated by grip knob. Guided by 2 rods on bronze bearings. Using of economical manual tables Acting is done by a grip knob supplied with the table. Maxi stroke is 100 mm for size 0, and 200 mm for sizes 1 and 2. Any nonstandard intermediate stroke can be produced. The locking in position is done on the trapezoidal screw, either in position B1 (above the front plate) or in position B2 (at the end of the end plate) depending on the access and the space available. The position is visualized by a mechanical indicator or by ruler on the base plate. The fixing on the frame is done by the 2 end plates (laminated holes) or by the end plate in « Z axis » version for vertical applications. The positioning accuracy of economical manual tables The axial positioning accuracy of these tables is <0.20 mm (in practice 0.05 to 0.15 mm), because the axial play is largely eliminated after locking in position

Manual positioning table drived by lead screw Guided by 2 rods on bronze bearings or ball bushings Precision manual tables The guidance is ensured by 2 rods on 4 calibrated bronze bearings (reduced play) or 4 ball bushings for guidance without play. The guide length of long body tables (309L/M) allows to accept large loads and torques. The axial positioning accuracy of these tables is <0.15 mm (in practice 0.02 to 0.10 mm). But the blocking in position is done on the carriage, by pressure on a guide rod, so as to remove the axial play of the nut of the trapezoidal screw after blocking. Manual crossed tables XY or YZ For the creation of XY crossed table, the tables are mounted one on the other directly by the body (long body version only) with the option 308922 * making smooth holes in the body of a table. To combine 2 tables in YZ, it is preferable to use a lifting table for the Z axis, mounted by its end on the body of the horizontal table.

Manual lifting table Driving by leadscrew Guided by 2 rods Interest of lifting table These tables can be fixed by only one end thanks to a reinforced sole, for vertical or offset applications (using the mobile body). This simplifies installation directly on a plate or directly on the body of another table no need to build a vertical structure to fix it. In the fixed body version, they also make it possible to fix a load at the end (on the end flange) the quality of the embedding of the guide rods in this flange guarantees reliability even in the event of a bulky load (example label printer). Indeed, the assembly presented on the photo below corresponds to the height and width adjustment application of a label printer on a conveyor. The printer is attached to the end of the horizontal table and the base of the vertical table is attached to the side of the conveyor. For XY crossed tables, the tables are mounted one on the other directly by the body (long body version only)
