Linear Motion Systems
May 1st 2006

THK UK has extended its range of high performance linear motion systems with the launch of two larger sizes to the Super Roller Guide (SRG) series.

The new 130 and 150mm versions incorporate the company's Caged Roller technology that combines high levels of rigidity, accuracy and reliability, as well as offering a virtually maintenance-free component for demanding conditions in manufacturing, automation or process applications.

The new sizes are part of a product family giving high performance, smooth movement through low rolling resistance, and reduced friction, heat and noise.

When compared with conventional roller guides, the Caged Roller SRG is said to give far higher levels of radial and lateral stiffness, typically better than40% higher, while reverse radial stiffness is more than 75% greater.
