Kerk’s RGSW and RGSWX slides offer thicker and wider bases than the original, more compact RGS slides. Both the RGSW and RGSWX series include direct sensor mounting systems and the RGSWX slides with direct motor mounting can accept NEMA-frame motors without any modifications or additional fabrication. Requiring no maintenance or lubrication, the anti-backlash slides can be manufactured in lengths up to 2.5m. Longer lengths are possible on a custom basis. The Kerk RGSW and RGSWX enhance Kerk’s product range and provide a more complete solution for customers requiring integrated product features. Additional carriages can be mounted on the rail for additional support required by larger loads or unusual mounting configurations.
