costs
Designed to shield the lead screw from debris and harsh environments, co-axial screw rails from Kerk Motion Products eliminate the need for protective bellows, saving space and cutting costs.
Designed to shield the lead screw from debris and harsh environments, co-axial screw rails from Kerk Motion Products eliminate the need for protective bellows, saving space and cutting costs Kerk's screw coaxial screw is ideal for grippers, conveyor-width adjustment, medical and fluid dispensing equipment and robotic position systems
Kerk's patent-pending design uses a proprietary coating on the carbon-steel rail to improve toughness and corrosion resistance, and smooth the operation.
Nuts on the coaxial screw rail feature a reinforcement and lubrication package compounded into the polyacetal material.
Alignment between the screw and the rail is critical to prevent binding and maintain smooth operation.
Kerk's coaxial screw rail reduces the number of components and time-consuming alignment procedures and is available in 1, 0.75 and 0.5in outside-diameter rail sizes.
