Linear system promises maintenance-free operation

A RA Rodriguez product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 2, 2005

With the introduction of the new Schatz Double V linear motion systems, RA Rodriguez adds another string to its bow.

Linear motion has been an important strand of the RARodriguez business for many years now.

The company is not just a supplier of linear elements, it is also a designer and constructor of special purpose machinery.

It markets its own range of linear components and since 1985 has represented the interests of linear specialist IEF Werner in the UK.

With the introduction of the new Schatz Double V linear motion systems, RA Rodriguez adds another string to its bow.

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.

Greased for life, these high precision bearings promise smooth, quiet and maintenance-free operation.

They are complemented by track surfaces that have been hardened for long wear life.

The Schatz bearings differ significantly from other linear bearing systems in that they are designed to prevent the ingress of dirt into the rolling element raceway.

Their rolling elements are enclosed and sealed against contamination.

As a result they provide a longer service life.

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.

The Schatz range is noted for its consistent high performance in difficult applications and solutions are therefore readily available for high speed, high load and high temperature applications.
