Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, a premier manufacturer of
engineered linear motion products, offers customers the ability to configure
and download CAD models of the entire line of Kerk RGS linear rail systems. CAD
download availability includes both motorized and non-motorized linear rail
systems with the flexibility to change/modify such features as rail length,
number of carriages, screw resolution, motor step angle, motor voltage, and
other parameters. Users can also add an optional IDEA integrated programmable
drive system to several linear rail configurations. Although there are well
over 10,000 possible linear rail configurations available through the online
CAD system, Haydon Kerk will customize any system for application-specific needs.
All RGS linear rail systems feature standard
wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriages to insure repeatable and
accurate positioning. All moving surfaces include Kerkite engineered polymers
running on Kerkote TFE coating, providing a strong, stable platform for a
variety of linear motion applications. RGS linear rails are available with
screw leads ranging from 0.025” to 2.0”. When combined with optional Haydon
motors, the RGS linear rail systems provide linear travel resolution ranging from
0.0000625” per step to 0.010” per step.
By combining multiple technologies into a single linear rail
assembly, Haydon Kerk is able to improve system integration for the equipment
OEM or end user. The overall cost for the customer is also lowered by simplifying
product development with fewer components required.
