RA Rodriguez announces its new Schatz Double V linear motion systems. The Schatz programme includes guide wheels, track rails and assemblies. As its name suggests – and central to the design and performance of this system – is the wheel profile that looks like a double V. The Schatz bearings differ from other linear bearing systems in that they are designed to prevent the ingress of dirt into the rolling element raceway. Its rolling elements are enclosed and sealed against contamination. Four wheel sizes are available in the standard range and in addition to bearing steel, rings and balls can be specified in stainless steel for corrosion resistance; ceramic balls are also available. Guide wheels can be mounted vertically or horizontally to suit differing space and application requirements and can be used to support rotary motion. A range of bushings and ancillary products are available for numerous mounting arrangements. In addition to the standard range, RA Rodriguez can also design custom bearings based on application needs.
