Sleeve Bearing Carriages and Guide Rails



With fewer moving parts and no need for lubrication, sleeve bearing carriages perform better in dusty and wet environments than ball and roller bearing carriages. They're also better at handling impact and vibration.
Carriages with polyethylene bearing have high impact strength and are more abrasion resistant than carriages with a PTFE bearing.
Note: Each carriage can only be used with its corresponding guide rail. Load capacity is diminished when carriages are mounted upside down or on a vertical surface.

Low-Friction Telescoping Slides

Use these slides for short-travel, high-speed applications where low-friction performance is a must. They have a bearing cage that eliminates ball collisions to extend service life.
Travel length is the total distance the carriage travels in both directions. For example, a slide with a 6" travel length travels 3" in each direction.
Note: Capacities listed are for horizontal mounting. If side mounted, load capacities are cut in half.

High-Load Low-Friction Telescoping Slides

With a row of crossed-roller bearings on each side of the rail, these slides have over twice the load capacity of standard low-friction slides and are better for handling shock loads. Use them for short-travel, high-speed applications where low-friction performance is a must.
Travel length is the total distance the carriage travels in both directions. For example, a slide with a 6" travel length travels 3" in each direction.
Note: Capacities listed are for horizontal mounting. If side mounted, load capacities are cut in half.
