Medium-precision linear motion system
Manufacturers can avoid the cost and time of precision machining rail seats in their machines with TPA's Monorace linear motion system.
Designed for manufacturers of transportation, packaging, material handling, and similar equipment, the Monorace linear bearing family offers the ability to carry payloads ranging from 22.679kg to 226.796kg over distances up to and exceeding 4m Built from extruded steel, the Monorace is very robust and ideal for medium-precision linear motion applications

Extruded steel telescopic rail system
The TLR Series telescopic rail system is constructed of extruded steel rails and precision, double row ball bearing rollers to create a high capacity, long stroke telescopic rail system.
The unique bearing-rail interface is able to compensate for mild rail misalignments, allowing use directly on low-precision surfaces such as welded steel frames, sheet metal housings and aluminum extrusion based frames.
Further the Monorace is tolerant of contamination and works well in dusty, gritty, or otherwise dirty environments.
Available in three basic rail sizes: 18mm, 28mm, and 43mm wide and with standard or extended sliders, Monorace systems can be sized to fit the application.
Rails are available up to 4m long and can be spliced together for longer distances.
The unique alignment compensation ability of the system allows manufacturers to install the Monorace on low-precision surfaces and not suffer from mechanical binding.
