PRESS INFORMATION

Ondrives Ltd. are pleased to present the U series range of precision linear slides from their extensive mechanical drive components catalogue.

The U series non ball-retained version is a two row, four point contact type which offer lengths from 120mm up to 1200mm as standard and is carbon steel hardened. Maximum allowable speeds for sizes 40 to 50 are 3m/sec, size 60 is 2m/sec and size 85 is 1.66m/sec. A minimum of 1 carriage per rail must be ordered, but more are permitted – remember they are non ball-retained and the steel balls will drop off, if the slide is separated from the track rail.

A quality lithium-soap base grease containing extreme pressure additives (Shell Albania EP Grease 2) is supplied in Linear Way U on delivery. However, the quality of any grease will gradually deteriorate as operating time passes. Therefore, periodic relubrication is necessary. It is generally recommended that the grease is relubricated every six months under general usage and every three months for the daily operation consisting of many cycles and long strokes. A grease nipple is attached to the slide unit. Grease injector nozzles matching each of these are also available.
