Bearings for harsh environments
March 1st 2006

The design of the new Schatz Double V linear bearing from RA Rodriguez make them suitable for use in harsh environments. Unlike other systems that allow the ingress of dirt, the rolling elements of these components are enclosed and therefore safeguarded from contamination. As a result they provide longer service life.

The Schatz HC series builds on these benefits providing a range of guide wheels and tracks that offer superior performance in demanding aerospace, medical, semiconductor, processing and packaging applications.

The HC bearings material composition ensures both corrosion-resistance and long life fatigue.

Four wheel sizes are available in the standard range. Guide wheels can be mounted vertically or horizontally to suit differing space and application requirements and used to support rotary motion.
