A versatile transfer and positioning system, HDS2 heavy duty linear guide handles heavy loads with high reliability and precision.

Heavy duty – HDS2 carries loads up to 68kN, catering for the more demanding applications.

Extensive choice and compatibility – The system offers a broad range of components including carriages, bearings, slides, flat tracks and construction beams.

No need for absolute parallelism – The combination of V guide bearings, and roller bearings and flat tracks on a single axis allows for slight discrepancies in the parallelism, reducing set up times.

Low maintenance and long life – Thanks to V guide technology, HDS2 requires little maintenance, guarantees a long system life and is perfect for environments with debris.

Drive options available – An integral spur or helical rack drive can be supplied for a compact means of driving.

Perfect for large gantry systems with up to three driven axis, pick & place applications, palletisers, or any application with high payloads requiring precision.
