Whispah Linear Slide suitable for non-contaminating linear motion applications

LM76 (www.lm76.com), a world leader in self lubricating linear motion bearings, has unveiled a linear slide ideal for non-contaminating linear motion applications such as pharmaceutical, medical and food processing equipment — the Whispah Linear Slide.

Offering smooth motion, the new linear slide is exceptionally quiet and is low cost. The Whispah Linear Slide has been specifically developed to fully utilize LM76’s Minute Man Linear Bearings’ properties, such as high load capacity, low friction, high speed (400 SFM), self lubrication, shock absorption, very low friction (0.09 to 0.12 C of F), zero absorption and noiseless.

Aside from non-contaminating environments, the stable two rail Whispah Linear Slide is also well suited for use in harsh environments such as welding systems, caustic wash downs, ceramic tile wet saws and outdoor (all-weather) applications.

The new Whispah Linear Slide comes in two different sizes. The WSP 2 Twin Rail System, which can handle greater load and provide higher stability, features 6.00” long x 7.00” wide table with a bearing centerline to centerline measurement of 2.906”. Meanwhile, the low profile WSP 1 Twin Rail System has 4.00” long x 5.50” wide table and a bearing centerline to centerline of 2.125”, can support side loads (Co-rad) to 75 lbs and vertical loads (Co-ax) to 150 lbs.

Both versions are offered in lengths to 120”. For longer life, aluminum two rail extrusion of the Whispah Linear Slide is covered with a Hardcoat finish. It also features predrilled mounting holes, making integration into existing or new systems easy. Although it is a low profile system, it still has room for easy mounting of electro-mechanical linear actuator or pneumatic cylinder to operate the slide.

Stainless Steel Rail System from LM76

E. Longmeadow, MA – LM76 introduces their new, DEFENDER Linear Rail TM linear bearing system. This all stainless steel rail and bearing system is strong, anti-magnetic, corrosion resistant, low cost and easy to install. Designed to be washed down with disinfectants or high strength industrial cleaners the DEFENDER Linear Rail TM linear bearing system is ideal for medical, pharmaceutical and food processing applications, as well as draw and rack glides, and sliding doors.

The bearing rails are rolled 304 stainless with an internal bearing race. Each three bearing slider unit is 80 mm (3.15 inches) long. Each 440C stainless steel ball bearing roller is lubricated for life, features 2RS seals, and can be washed down. The slider’s center bearing is mounted on a eccentric shaft for adjusting the preload. The cross section of the compact bearing and slider is only 26 mm x .22 mm (1.02 in. x .866 in.). The Stainless Steel rails are available in lengths of 1040 mm (40.94 in.), 1520 mm (59.84 in.), 2080 mm (81.89 in.), and 3120 mm (122.83 in.) or in cut to order sizes.
