Linear Rail System RGS | RGW

The RGS (Rapid Guide Screw) is a spindle-driven linear unit offering excellent linear speed, precise positioning and long life in a compact, low-cost unit. The numerous thread pitches available offer everything from high performance to self-locking pitches. This eliminates the need for brakes for vertical applications.

The RGS series, consisting of an extruded aluminium precision guide and carriage, is driven by a precision-rolled stainless steel lead screw. The carriage guide is made of Kerkite® high performance polymers sliding on a Kerkote® TFE coating. The linear units are supplied as standard with a wear compensating and backlash free driven carriage. Additional slides with or without drive can be specifically adapted according to customer requirements. The linear units are also available without spindle drive.

The RGW version is a wider version with additional mounting slots and brackets. A matching kit for sensor mounting can be supplied as an option.
