Linear motion carriages for high offset loads

The new HepcoMotion Precision Ring Track (PRT2) moment load carriages come into their own where high downward or offset loads are anticipated. They are available in two configurations, both designed to connect to the track system support beam. The static type carriage is designed to take an additional load whilst in a stationary position. It is supported when it makes contact with a pair of eccentrically adjustable roller bearings, fitted to the framework of the track system. This provides extra load capacity that is typically needed at a workstation to accommodate the large downward forces exerted by punching or stamping. The dynamic option provides continuous support to the carriage, around the entire track, while the load is moving. In this case, the carriage is fitted with eccentric roller bearings which can be adjusted to make contact with a support track following the main Vee Guide circuit.

They can be supplied complete with a carriage locking system for positive location within ± 50 microns and can also be used in straight line linear applications in conjunction with HepcoMotion GV3 components. These new additions enhance one of the most comprehensive ring and track systems available worldwide. The HepcoMotion PRT2 product programme provides designers with an exceptional choice of precision ring slides and segments, bearings and ancillary elements from which to choose to optimal combination for the application.
