LFS 12 Rails and Carriages Offer Low Cost Solutions for Door Enclosure and Transfer System Applications

February 17, 2009

Techno, Inc. Linear Motion Products released a line of low profile linear rails and carriages called the LFS 12 Series. Offered in two configurations, the LFS 12 Series are a low-cost solution to simple automation applications like door enclosures and transfer systems.

"The LFS 12 Linear Rails and Carriages offer flexibility in applications which demand low cost yet accurate rails," says Joe Griffin, Linear Motion Products Manager. "These rails mount directly to the table, keeping their profile very low. Two different mounting configurations make for a versatile installation process. The first configuration can be bolted from the bottom via tapped holes, and the second has drilled and counter-bored holes for top mounting."

Each LFS 12 Linear Rail and Carriage has mating v-groove rollers which can be supplied individually or as a complete carriage assembly. Rail lengths are 3 meters, but custom lengths can be ordered for OEM applications, and they are all 12 mm in diameter. Technical details about the new LFS 12 Series Rails and Carriages are at: Http://www.techno-isel.com/lmc/ticnew/LFS12_Series.htm.
