Handling extreme loads with high reliability and precision

Hepco's HDS2 heavy duty linear guide system is suitable for heavy loads in challenging environments requiring precision and reliability.??

When to consider HDS2?

1. Heavy payloads

HDS2 is perfect for?large gantry systems with up to three driven axis in any area where precision is important.?It is a proven solution in automotive, aerospace and general engineering, as well as paper converting, nuclear and scientific applications.

2. In wet, humid or hostile environments

HDS2 is available as a corrosion resistant version, which is perfectly suited to wet or humid environments. Thanks to the V guide technology, debris is not a problem.

3. When lubrication needs to be considered

Our bearings are lubricated internally for life. A number of specialist greases are also available, depending on your requirement. While it will impact on overall system life, if needed, the system can operate without lubrication.

WHY HDS2?

1. A dirt resilient system that requires little maintenance

Dirty environments can both impact system life and increase costly system downtime. Hepco's V guide technology is self cleaning; the difference between inner and outer diameter of the bearings and rails propels debris out of the system, ensuring constant, smooth motion.

In this application, HDS2 provided a low maintenance solution in a concrete cutting application. The challenges here included a high production of particles mixed with water and dealing with uneven surfaces.

2. A system that does not require absolute parallelism?

The combination of fixed V guide bearings and slides on one side and roller bearings combined with flat tracks on the other side ensures parallelism and smooth running regardless of slight discrepancies in parallelism. This simplifies the installation process.

3. Save assembly and design time

Products can be purchased fully assembled with ready adjusted carriage for quick installation or individual components offering you great design freedom. Our design team will support you with the design of your application.

Application Examples

Glass processing is particularly demanding on linear motion components with its abrasive environment and high production rates. With the HDS2 Heavy Duty Linear Guide, Ashton Industrial was able to build a system that could survive and exceed in these harsh environments.

In the application below, a HDS2 rack driven gantry system is used to dip slides, rings and track system into a multi-station chemical finishing dipping plant.?
