DURA-SLIDE AIR Pneumatic Linear Positioning Device provides a practical, low-cost approach to automatic work positioning. The built-in air cylinder simplifies slide operation and eliminates the need for complex, expensive activating mechanisms. The unit is extremely compact requiring only minimal space for installation. DURA-SLIDE AIR is field proven with up to 160 million inches accumulated travel with negligible wear.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION

Rod bores are parallel to the mounting surface within .002" per foot. The four slide bearings are oil impregnated bronze bushings, which eliminate the need for relubrication. Bronze bushings are utilized rather than linear ball bearings because bushings distribute the load over a larger surface area. This results in less wear on the slide rods. Both rods are pinned to the end blocks to assure positive location. Nylon bumper pads, located at each end of the stroke, contribute to a low noise level minimizing the clatter inherent in fast acting slide devices.

The center main body houses the air cylinder and is offset from the end blocks in two planes. This offset feature allows the end blocks to be mounted on the same plane surface without risers.

MOUNTING STYLES

DURA-SLIDE AIR units can be mounted in any plane provided both end blocks are set on machined surfaces to prevent distortion. Either the main body or the end blocks function as the fixed supports. Multiple mounting holes in all the sections provide mounting versatility. For example: two center body sections can be joined at right angles to construct a cross-yoke or an inexpensive pick-and-place unit. Using slides with different stroke dimensions add to cross-yoke applications.

FEATURES

DURA-SLIDE AIR carries tapped holes in the center main body and end blocks. Different strokes are also available.
