Kerk makes miniature addition to ScrewRail line

For accurate positioning in a confined space, a miniature, non-ball lead screw features a coating that minimises drag torque and extends wear life.
Kerk Motion Products, one of the world's premier manufacturers of non-ball lead screws, introduces a miniature addition to their popular ScrewRailT linear actuator line.
The entire ScrewRail line features a compact design for linear motion applications requiring extra guidance and support.
Originally available with outside diameters of 0.500in, 0.750in and 1.00in, the Mini ScrewRail is available in a 0.375in outside diameter.
It is ideal for medical, data storage, semiconductor and photonics equipment applications where accurate positioning in a confined space is a primary design objective.
The Mini ScrewRail utilizes Kerk's proprietary KerkoteT TFE coating on both the lead screw and guide rail, minimizing drag torque and extending wear life.
In addition, KerkiteT high performance polymers make the entire assembly self-lubricating and maintenance-free.
As with the larger ScrewRails, the Mini ScrewRail is available with a wide range of screw leads, in both standard and self-compensating anti-backlash assemblies.
All Kerk ScrewRails are available with standard mounting configurations, or can be modified to fit a customer's specific design needs.
