Hepcomotion to attend Offshore Europe 2009
A
Hepcomotion product story

Jul 15, 2009
The reasons why Hepcomotion is so widely specified for marine and offshore engineering projects will be demonstrated on the company's stand at Offshore Europe 2009.
Hepcomotion can supply stainless steel and corrosion-resistant linear motion systems, proven circular and continuous motion products, and has the ability to design and manufacture complete sub-systems.
The ready availability of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant linear motion options within Hepcomotion's standard, flagship GV3 range means popular sizes of these systems are available ex-stock.
Stainless steel is comparatively soft in its free unhardened condition.
In designing its various systems for operation in hostile environments Hepcomotion has therefore been highly selective in the materials it chooses to achieve optimum performance.
Although many of its components are made from hardened and ground stainless steel, Hepcomotion also uses other materials.
Various coatings are available for applications that allow the consideration of alternatives to stainless steel.
For applications where stainless steel is required, Hepcomotion offers its SL2 series.
This product range uses many of the standard slide options in the GV3 Series but in ground stainless steel.
The system is designed to be maintenance free and is therefore suitable for arduous conditions.
The Hepcomotion V concept and quality of the manufacturing process provide the SL2 system with its smooth running and low-friction characteristics.
The V principle uses a self-cleaning action that eliminates contamination in the slideway.
The extent of travel achievable by the slides with Hepcomotion cap seals before re-lubrication becomes necessary is also useful in the offshore engineering sector.
For most harsh applications both GV3 and SL2 are fit and forget systems.
Where system capacities of up to 68kN are required, Hepcomotion offers its heavy-duty slide system, HDS2, a rugged product that meets increased load and life requirements.
An important aspect of this system is the introduction of specific components that reduce the engineering time required to get the system up and running.
Hepcomotion can also supply components and systems for circular and continuous motion.
Circular motion products in stainless steel provide low-friction rotational movement for a multitude of tasks and the products are particularly useful where space is at a premium.
The choice includes ring slides and track - in both standard and heavy duty grades - and driven systems.
Engineering ring systems for subsea applications such as non-destructive testing and pipe welding is also something Hepcomotion can supply.
A recent order comprised a standard ring slide and stainless-steel slide, supplied as an assembled bearing system for the automated ovality inspection of a high-profile pipeline.
The high-precision geared ring was required as the main medium to manoeuvre ultrasonic probes around the pipe.

Linear motion system is a sound application
A newly refurbished laboratory at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton features driven HepcoMotion linear motion systems. -
Linear slide systems keep on running
A service life in excess of ten years is pretty good for any wearing part but at 23 years old, four particular DualVee linear motion systems must be setting a record. -
Slides carry on withstanding kaolin slurry
Reliability is critical for machinery destined for remote regions, and that's the reason cited by Carpco for its continued choice of Hepco linear motion systems -
Tackling linear motion system selection
Here we look at four main options - 'V' bearings and slides, recirculating ball bushings, recirculating ball monorails and plain PTFE bearings. -
