Miniature slides for maximum performance

A SKF product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 3, 2002

LZM miniature slides offer a high performance solution for linear motion applications which require short strokes coupled with compact boundary dimensions.

The new LZM miniature slides from SKF Engineering Products offer a high performance solution for linear motion applications which require short strokes coupled with compact boundary dimensions.

The slides deliver high system stiffness and precision guidance, with high running accuracies of up to 2um, over a stroke of 100mm, delivered with exceptionally smooth motion.

The all-stainless-steel construction and optimised hardness enables high carrying capacity and a long lifespan.

For ease of installation, unlike cross roller systems which are assembled on the production floor, the LZM slide is a complete slide that can be simply bolted into place, without the use of precision devices to set preloaded parameters.

The use of miniature slides has increased in medical applications, measurement technologies, fibre optics, and micromechanics and assembly such as semiconductor manufacturing.

The slides are available in lengths from 26 to 165mm and, with every application providing new challenges, SKF EPL is able to modify existing designs to meet specific technical requirements.
