HepcoMotion SL2 stainless steel slide system

Friday, 03 March, 2017 | Supplied by: TEA Transmissions Pty Ltd


HepcoMotion’s SL2 stainless steel-based slide system includes a range of stainless steel slides and bearings, together with specially treated aluminium components.

Suitable for applications requiring high precision under cleanroom conditions with no lubrication, or corrosion resistance in washdown and harsh environments, the system offers long service life with virtually zero maintenance, according to the company.

The linear range consists of stainless steel bearing assemblies, flat slides and spacer slides produced from AISI 400 series stainless steel. A complementary range of lightweight aluminium carriage plates and flange clamps are also available with special surface treatment providing corrosion resistance. The treatment process for the aluminium is approved by the US Department of Agriculture for use in food processing machinery.

The V-shaped slide surface provides the system with smooth-running and low-friction characteristics which allow it to be operated dry, without lubrication, for sensitive applications.

In most circumstances, the system can also be equipped with cap seals that prevent the ingress of dirt, provide positive lubrication and extend service life. Grease used can be temperature-resistant, food-compatible or suited to a nuclear engineering application specification. 

There are seven sizes of flat-slide sections and four sizes of spacer-slide sections in the range. All slides are available in lengths up to 4 m, except for the smallest size. There are three lengths of carriage plates available for each slide, with the option of either double-row or twin-bearing assemblies.
