Linear Rail System WGS

The WGS linear guide system uses a spindle-driven carriage to provide smooth linear speed and precise positioning. A fixed mounting plate provides support along the entire length of up to 2.5 m.

Numerous optional pitches allow for high efficiency or self-locking design, eliminating the need for brakes in vertical applications. With the wide range of lead screws available, speeds of more than 1.5 metres per second are possible. This can replace belt drives to achieve higher positional accuracy, repeatability and axial rigidity.
