Linear Rail Systems

A Haydon powered Linear Rail System uses either a Haydon size 17 hybrid external linear actuator or for greater performance, an optional size 17 hybrid double stack external linear actuator integrated into the slide for a complete single axis positioning system

Haydon Linear Rail Systems use a precision leadscrew assembly mechanism to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a robust aluminum linear slide.

Haydon Switch & Instrument introduces its latest product line, Linear Rail Systems. The Haydon Linear Rail System uses a precision leadscrew assembly to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a robust linear slide. The Linear Rail System consists of a stationary base with a load bearing carriage that travels along a custom-extruded wear resistant aluminum rail. 

A Haydon powered Linear Rail System uses either a Haydon size 17 hybrid external linear actuator or for greater performance, an optional size 17 hybrid double stack external linear actuator integrated into the slide for a complete single axis positioning system, or the system may be is provided with various leads and shaft end configurations that accommodate virtually any source of rotary power. According to the company, additional features include:

  • Control over slide bearing play with a patent pending self adjusting linear bearing. 
  • Integrated “T” slots that accommodate full length support and various mounting options. 
  • The ability for loads to easily attach to the compact moving carriage with a choice of 4 or 6 screws.
  • End to end axial stability.
  • Precise motion system accuracy. 
  • The ability to be used with Haydon’s high precision anti-backlash nuts including “C” compression style, “W” wedge style, as well as Haydon freewheeling “N” style nuts. 
Typical applications include medical, instrumentation, plant automation, CNC equipment, food and beverage automation, packaging and custom machinery.
