Adding Motion

The 3-slot mount – single flange short standard linear bearing with brake holes is typically used in linear motion applications. It houses profiles with a minimum of three open T-slots, has a single flange and is a shorter option. The bearing includes pads, screws and shims; the pads are made of self-lubricating UHMW. All 80/20 bearings are designed for compression loads only and not intended to support hanging loads.

The 4-slot mount – double flange long standard linear bearing without brake holes is typically used in linear motion applications. It houses profiles with a minimum of four open T-slots, has a double flange and is a longer option. The bearing includes pads, screws and shims; the pads are made of self-lubricating UHMW. All 80/20 bearings are designed for compression loads only and not intended to support hanging loads.

The 4-slot mount – double flange short high-cycle linear bearing with brake holes is typically used in linear motion applications. It contains special threaded inserts in the pads which provide a heavy-duty bearing capable of withstanding repetitive cycles with sudden acceleration and deceleration. The bearing houses profiles with a minimum of four open T-slots, has a double flange and is a shorter option. The pads, screws and shims are included; the pads are made of self-lubricating UHMW. All 80/20 bearings are designed for compression loads only and not intended to support hanging loads.

The 90 degree double pivot bracket assembly with "L" handles is commonly used to add motion to certain elements of your project. It is comprised of one 90 degree left hand pivot bracket, one 90 degree right hand pivot bracket, two "L" handles, and one 0 degree structural pivot nub. The shoulder bolt and nylon thrust washers are also included. The brackets have permanently lubricated bronze bushings that act as high-strength pivot points.

The bracket has permanently lubricated bronze bushings that act as high-strength pivot point.

The 90 degree right hand pivot bracket plate is commonly used to add motion to certain elements of your project. The plate provides a full 90 degrees of axial motion and has a permanently lubricated bronze bushings that act as a high-strength pivot point. The suggested hardware to mount the plate to a profile can be found on the "Suggested Hardware" tab.

The double short UniBearing™ has an open design that enables customized layouts. It is an option that is commonly used in applications with two guiderails. The UniBearing™ is easy to quickly install or remove without taking it apart, allowing reduced retooling and downtime and increased productivity and flexibility. The pads are mounted using stainless steel flathead socket cap screws that secure it to the housing and eliminate the need for high-cycle pads. The bearing can move or be fixed; when fixed, it allows the guardrail and assembly to move. All UniBearings™ come with pre-drilled brake holes and tapped mounting holes that enable attachment of accessories to a flat surface.

The right angle 0 degree dynamic pivot assembly with dual straight arms is typically used to create dynamic pivots that are parallel to the mounting profile and have full axial motion ranging from 0-90 degrees. The assembly includes one 0 degree dynamic right angle pivot nub and two standard straight dynamic pivot arms. It has permanently lubricated bronze bushings that act as high-strength pivot points and nylon thrust washers that protect the pivot arms. The hardware to connect the nub to the profile, the nub to the arms, and the arm to the profile are all included.
