Item Linear Motion Systems
MBS can provide a range of solutions for
your linear motion needs. Below is a summary of some of the available
options. If you would like us to quote for an assembly, or would like to discuss
your requirements in more detail, please contact
us. If you would like more information about the component pieces, please
refer to the Item
e-catalogue
and look at the Dynamic Elements section.

KLE Linear Units
|
 |
|
Based on Item's Roller Guide technology, these belt-driven
Compact Linear Units
utilise AT type timing belts for increased accuracy and are internally guided,
so finger-traps have been eliminated. Available in 80x80mm or 60x60mm
cross-sections, they are particularly suited where long stroke-lengths are
required. |

Roller Guides
|
 |
|
Item Roller Guides are
designed with simplicity and time saving in mind. Comprising hardened ground
steel shafts inserted into a special clamping profile, which is itself mounted
to any Item extrusion.
Bearing assemblies are combined with extruded carriage plates, allowing the user
to make full use of the system grooves for attaching additional components. It
is possible to build the linear slide into any Item
framework. Any length can be accommodated and there are a range of sizes
available, making these guides ideal for most dynamic applications, particularly
where high speed is a requirement. They are also well protected against dust or
dirt ingress, and are very smooth running due to the use of double
deep-groove ball bearings inside the V-Rollers, and point contact between
V-Rollers and shafts. Corrosion-resistant and stainless-steel options are also
available.

C-rail Slide Systems
|
 |
|
Item
C-rail Slides are
particularly designed as compact units and are perfect for sliding and lifting
doors, and for moveable guards. Available in a range of sizes, there are
different bearing types to suit your application. System grooves are available
for attaching other components. |
| |
Linear Guides
|
 |
|
Available in different sizes, these high load bearing
linear guide rails are particularly
suitable where there are high moments involved. They incorporate unique Item
clamping mechanisms to ensure rapid assembly to Item
frameworks. |
| |
Ball Bush Guides
|
 |
|
Available as either complete guides with ball bushes concealed within the
profile, or as separate ball bush blocks, these economical Item
units are very useful where high precision is not required. Available in different
sizes, the position of the bushes can be adjusted to suit loading requirements. |
| |
Belt Drives
|
 |
|
Item have a range of
belt drive options. Perfect for high speed and long stroke lengths, there is a
selection for most load requirements. A range of motor
couplings and robust bevel gearboxes is also available. |
| |
Ballscrew Drives
|
 |
|
Where very accurate positioning is required, Item
ballscrew drives of different pitches are available. Built around a special
80x80 extrusion, the incorporated system grooves allow linear guides or roller
guides to be attached directly to the ballscrew. |
| |
Chain Drives
|
 |
|
Item chain drives are
suitable in dirty environments where a lower level of precision is required. The
chain is completely enclosed within the profile grooves, reducing the risk of
accidental contact. |
