Two linear slides or track systems
operating in parallel with one free to
move – the text book approach to
accommodating parallelism
tolerances. However to build such a
mechanism, the designer
is often hampered by
limited component
choice and the
need to specify
special parts.

The
development by
HepcoMotion of a
new Floating Bearing with Vee- profile
means this function can be achieved
in tandem with the HepcoMotion
GV3 and PRT precision ring track
ranges. The company’s Vee slides, ring
and tracks come in a wide range of
formats and sizes; standard carriage
plates, lubricators and other parts are
readily available.
