Editor Motion Control – Stages for Corrosive Environments
Linear Motion – The above twin Linear slide system was designed for a large manufacturer of semiconductors. The vapors from a plating operation were so corrosive that linear components were failing within months of installation. LM76 designed a system which was predominately stainless while some components were nickel plated. LM76’s polymatrix, ball screw nut was a major improvement over a competitor’s system which employed a standard re-circulating ball nut.
Linear Bearings: Special Plated, Lubrication Free, High Temp, Angular Contact Ball Bearings
Shafting: 304 Stainless with a Proprietary Hard Chrome Finish
LM76 supplied this system complete with drive kit and motors.
Polymatrix Screw/Nut assembly
in our stainless steel linear slides.
Our Polymatrix Nuts offer the following
advantages overtraditional plastic
and ball nuts:
1. Extremely Hard
2. Will not imbed, include material
3. Will not absorb liquids
4. Higher Load Capacity
5. No debris or mechanical failure
mode( lost balls ).
