Guides/Rails

The Pacific Bearing Company manufactures guides and rails. Their Round Shaft Technology (RST) uses round shafting as the guide way, combined with linear plane or ball bearings for movement. Pacific Bearing Cam Roller Technology (CRT) uses linear straight rails and other different rails to provide high accuracy and speed guidance. Pacific Bearing Integral V Technology (IVT) uses T-slot structural aluminum framing integrated with V-races. Rails are available cut to 4m (13ft). Pacific Bearing Gliding Surface Technology (GST) is a rail and carriage with a self lubricating surface. Pacific Bearing Profile Rail Technology (PRT) offers a range of linear ball guides. Their LAT linear actuator technology can be used for for automated positioning, transfer and guidance. A Pacific Bearing catalog can be downloaded.
