White Paper Explains What To Look for When Selecting Linear Slides for Automated Equipment
When it’s time to select a means of smooth linear motion for automated industrial equipment, linear slides are a popular option thanks to their load carrying capability and durability. They’re also versatile, with capabilities ranging from simple pressing operations to demanding multi-axis robotics applications. And, with so many styles of linear slides available, it can be difficult to choose the best one for the application. So how do you decide which model will be most effective for your application? In most cases, selection comes down to a few criteria: force, load capacity, precision, stroke requirements and operating speed.
A Fabco-Air white paper, Selecting Pneumatic Linear Slides for Automated Assembly Equipment, reviews these key selection factors along with tips for a successful implementation, customization considerations and a helpful quick reference guide to Fabco-Air linear slides.
