Precision Slide Tables Feature Sealed Linear Bearings

Piscataway, NJ - LEE Controls Precision Slide Table Systems with sealed linear bearings are pre-engineered to carry heavier loads at higher speeds under severe, continuous duty operations. Whether configured with LEE Controls patented Roller Bearing Pillow Blocks or Precision Plus Linear Ball Bearings, the company claims longer system life with lower friction than typical recirculating ball bearing slide tables - and no periodic maintenance is required! "Most applications utilize the full slide table system," says Jim Ashworth, the company's Vice President. "The LEE Controls Precision Slide Table System is pre-assembled with matched bearings and shafts and pre-aligned. Factory tested, the system is ready for immediate installation and motor mounting on receipt," he adds. Full slide models include a pre-loaded ball screw nut and a precision rolled ball screw. Other ball screw pitches are also available. End supported or fully supported models are available with or without ball screw. "LEE Controls Precision Slide Table Systems meet the needs of a host of industries: packaging equipment, wood working, printed circuit board, medical diagnostic equipment, for example," explains Ashworth. "Think of slide table systems positioning CAT scan patients; their application in lumber mills for cutting machines and moving materials." For superior performance, Ashworth recommends LEE Controls free-rolling and self-aligning Roller Bearing Pillow Blocks riding on the companys precision case hardened and ground 60 Plus/® linear shafting. The all aluminum pillow block body has a black oxide finish on the exposed surfaces of the rollers to resist corrosion.
