Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PBC LINEAR from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between PBC LINEAR Redi-Rail guide rails and Mini-Rail slide carriages?
Redi-Rail guide rails are linear guide rail systems designed for higher load capacities and longer travel lengths, typically used in applications like gantry systems and heavy-duty automation. They are available in sizes such as 18 and nominal rail sizes, with overall lengths up to 72 inches. Mini-Rail slide carriages, on the other hand, are compact, lightweight carriages for smaller rail widths (e.g., 12 mm) and are suited for applications with limited space or lower load requirements, such as pick-and-place units. Both use aluminum construction, but Mini-Rail carriages are designed for lower-profile installations.
Are PBC LINEAR sleeve bearings with Frelon™ Gold liner suitable for washdown environments?
PBC LINEAR sleeve bearings with Frelon™ Gold liner are self-lubricating and offer good corrosion resistance due to the aluminum shell material. However, they are not specifically rated for washdown or high-moisture environments unless additional sealing is provided. For wet or washdown applications, consider using bearings with stainless steel shells or those with IP-rated enclosures. The Frelon™ Gold liner itself is chemically resistant to many solvents, but the aluminum housing may corrode if exposed to harsh cleaning agents or continuous moisture.
Can PBC LINEAR precision lead screw assemblies be customized for specific stroke lengths?
PBC LINEAR precision lead screw assemblies, such as the LSR1605T series, are available in standard lengths, but customization for specific stroke lengths may be possible through special order. The assemblies include anti-backlash nuts and integrated motors with IP40 ratings. For non-standard lengths, consult the manufacturer's engineering department or check with 3G Electric for availability. Standard options include lengths like 400 mm, as seen in the LSR1605T-0400-RCF-232-NNN-N model.
What materials are used in PBC LINEAR pre-drilled linear shafts?
PBC LINEAR pre-drilled linear shafts are available in materials such as aluminum alloy with ceramic coating (e.g., CCPDL32 series) or steel with unfinished surfaces (e.g., LSRM25PD series). The ceramic coating provides enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection, while steel shafts offer higher strength for heavy-load applications. Shaft diameters range from 2 inches to 25 mm, and lengths up to 1,200 mm are available. Pre-drilled holes facilitate easy mounting and alignment.
How do I select the correct rebuild kit for PBC LINEAR pillow blocks?
PBC LINEAR pillow block rebuild kits, such as the FUBK08, are designed for specific shaft diameters and model series (e.g., DPB and TWN models). The FUBK08 kit fits 1/2-inch shaft diameters and includes a top roller axle. To select the correct kit, identify the shaft diameter and the model number of your existing pillow block. Kits are available for standard sizes, and 3G Electric can assist with cross-referencing part numbers.
