LSR-16-PD THO

Low shaft rails allow the design of more compact linear motion systems. The height from the base to the mean shaft center ranges from 9/16 in for supporting a 1/2 in Dia shaft to a maximum 3-1/2 in when supporting a 4 in Dia shaft, 40% lower than standard support rails. Low shaft rails are made of steel to maintain optimum shaft rigidity. Either continuous or intermittent support is possible when using Thomson® open-type linear ball bearings. Low shaft rails are furnished in standard 4 ft L. Where shorter lengths are required, rails can easily be cut. for supporting longer shafts, rails can be mounted end to end without limit. Low shaft rails are available without predrilled mounting holes (LSR) or with predrilled mounting holes (LSR-PD) to match Thomson® drilled and tapped shafts (PD). When using LSR-PD, the attachment bolts are underneath, so you must have access under your machine base plate. The LSRA assemblies highlighted below utilize attachment bolts from above. If one of the standard predrilled low shaft rails is not appropriate for your design needs, low shaft rails can be custom drilled by Thomson® to your specifications.
