Double edge ring slides & curved segments are manufactured from high quality bearing steel, zone hardened on the V edges and precision ground all over with datum register faces provided both internally and externally for ease of location. Gear drive options are available with teeth machined into either the internal or external register face. The number of teeth on the standard external option is divisible by 4 and 12 in order to provide maximum choice of pinion size for exact ratio requirements. Customers may also choose the tapped hole option ‘N’ which enables the ring slide to be bolted from below.
Double edge track system curved segments are cut from stock rings or segments. They are matched in essential respects with their corresponding track system straight slides and ground square on the ends to a specified dimension relative to their true shape. A clearance keyway and tapped hole facility is incorporated each end. An additional fixing hole is provided adjacent to the keyway each end to give extra support at the join position for all segments. Segments to any number of degrees can be supplied to cater for all track system configurations.
1. Standard ring segments will be slightly less than 90° and 180° because of the cutting allowance. Full 90° and 180°segments can be supplied to customer’s special order.
2. Socket head cap screws DIN912 will protrude 1mm above the surface of the R12 section slide rings. Customers requiring screws to be flush should use low head type DIN7984, available upon request.
