Floating bearing with Vee-profile

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.
