Machine construction profiles reduce dirt traps
For the MB Building Kit, Machine Building Systems has introduced reduced crevice- and dirt-free aluminium extrusions with fully enclosed grooves on one or more faces.
Bearing assemblies are combined with extruded carriage plates, allowing the user to make full use of the system grooves for attaching additional components.
It is possible to build the linear slide into any item framework.
Any length can be accommodated and there are a range of sizes available, making these guides ideal for most dynamic applications, particularly where high speed is a requirement.
They are also well protected against dust or dirt ingress, and are very smooth running due to the use of double deep-groove ball bearings inside the V-Rollers, and point contact between V-Rollers and shafts.
C-rail Guides are particularly designed as compact units and are perfect for sliding and lifting doors, and for moveable guards.
Available in a range of sizes, there are different bearing types to suit your application.
System grooves are available for attaching other components.
Linear Guides Available in different sizes, these high load-bearing steel profile-rail guides are particularly suitable where there are large moments involved.
They incorporate unique item clamping mechanisms to ensure rapid assembly to item frameworks.
Available as either complete guides with ball bushes concealed within the profile, or as separate ball bush blocks, these economical item units are very useful where high precision is not required.
Available in different sizes, the position of the bushes can be adjusted to suit loading requirements.
MBS have a range of belt drive options.
Perfect for high speed and long stroke lengths, there is a selection for most load requirements.
A range of motor couplings and robust bevel gearboxes is also available.
Where very accurate positioning is required, item ballscrew drives of different pitches are available.
Built around a special 80x80 extrusion, the incorporated system grooves allow linear guides or roller guides to be attached directly to the ballscrew.
Chain drives are suitable in dirty environments where a lower level of precision is required.
The chain is completely enclosed within the profile grooves, reducing the risk of accidental contact. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
