Haydon Kerk’s fully configurable CAD Models for RGS Linear Rail Systems

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions (www.HaydonKerk.com) is proud to announce the release of the fully configurable and downloadable CAD Models for the entire line of Haydon Kerk’s RGS linear rail systems. CAD download’s availability includes non-motorized and motorized linear rail systems with the flexibility to modify/change such features as number of carriages, rail length, motor voltage, motor step angle, screw resolution and other parameters. Optional IDEA™ integrated programmable drive system can also be added to several linear rail configurations. Though more than 10,000 possible linear rail configurations are available in the CAD system, the company will customize any system for the specific needs of the application.

All RGS linear rail systems have anti-backlash and wear-compensating driven carriages to insure accurate and repeatable positioning. Moving surfaces include Kerkite’s engineered polymers operating on Kerkote TFE coating to provide stable and strong platform for several linear motion applications. RGS linear rails come with screw leads that range from 0.025in to 2.0in. When RGS linear rail systems are combined with optional Haydon motors, the systems provide linear travel resolution that ranges from 0.0000625in per step to 0.010in per step.

Through the combined multiple technologies in a single linear rail assembly, the premier manufacturer is able to enhance system integration for the end user or OEM. The overall cost is also lessened through the simplification of product development with only fewer components required.

RGS linear rail systems’ applications include semiconductor processing equipment, laboratory instrumentation, life science equipment and several other applications that require precision linear motion.

Haydon Kerk Introduces RGS04 Motorized Linear Rail System

The company announces the dual carriage RGS04 motorized linear rail system. The system combines the company’s patented motion technologies in a single integrated system. The RGS brand linear rail will come preassembled with the IDEA programmable actuator that simplifies product integration for the OEM.

The rails have standard wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriages for accurate positioning. All moving surfaces have engineered polymers that run on Kerkote TFE coating, giving a stable platform for several linear motion applications.

The IDEA programmable system combines a fully programmable, integrated stepper motor drive with Haydon hybrid linear actuator. The programmable drive has an easy-to-use patent pending graphic user interface to directly program motion profiles into the system. It also contains a debug utility for easy troubleshooting, allowing line-by-line execution of a motion program.

By combining technologies into one preassembled unit, the company is able to improve system integration for the end user or equipment OEM. The overall cost is lowered by giving a complete solution as it simplifies product development with fewer components required and eliminates the need for rotary-to-linear conversion.

Applications include laboratory instrumentation, life science equipment, semiconductor processing equipment and other applications requiring precision linear motion.
