Motion Control Application – Loading Dock’s Corrosion Problem – Solved by LM76!

Motion Control Application – Overcoming Loading Dock Corrosion Problems

motion control - linear motion products

The Problem –

motion control problem corrosion

An LM76 customer is a manufacturer of loading dock ramps. These systems are installed in every state and experience all climates and conditions. Each dock section employs a 1″ shaft and linear bearings for length adjustment. Delivery trucks are side-loaded so the platform is adjusted outward to meet the truck body so loaders/unloaders have a safe walkway between building and truck. If the ramp cannot be properly adjusted because its rusted, frozen solid, gaps between the loading dock and the truck body become fall-through hazards for workers. Read more »
