Transportation and Automation Projects Very challenging design requirements
Environmental requirements and testing• Outdoor applications with dirt, moisture and contaminates
Stringent testing and validation testing• Accelerated load/life testing• Corrosive environment testing
Standardized salt spray
#DWwebinar
Transportation and Automation Projects Innovative linear technology now available in North America
Wide range of sizes and load capacities Robust and durable designs in high quality materials
• Self-aligning capabilities
Amazing new coating technology to exceed corrosion resistance requirements
• Beyond 1,000+ hours of salt spray test• T RACE NOX, E-Coating and P-coating
#DWwebinar
Transportation and Automation Projects Successful utilization in Europe on transportation applications
Bus, Train, Truck, Automated Doors, Automotive Transportation, Factory Automation

Design Concept for Guide Wheel Rail
Long profile with mounting holes High quality bearing grade steels
• Hardened for durability
Processed and surface treated
Slider Moveable bearing block assembly
• Guide wheels, lubricators, seals
Machined to mount wheels • Threads to agach to “X”.
High quality steel with coatings
#DWwebinar
Design Concept for Ball Cage
Rail Base profile with mounting holes High quality bearing grade steels
• Hardened for durability
Processed and surface treated
Slider Moveable slider
• Profile with direct ball bearing contact
High quality bearing grade steels• Hardened for durability• Threads to agach to “X”
Processed and surface treated
#DWwebinar
Design Concept for Telescopic Slides
Combine multiple slider assemblies Various profiles and orientations
Add travel bumper stopsAdd rigid intermediate members
Improve strength Reduce deflection
#DWwebinar
Innovative Heat Treatment Process
T-NOX Process Deep nitride hardening of all surfaces
• High wear resistance
Thermochemical black oxidation Impregnation of protective mineral oil

Innovative Heat Treatment Process
T-NOX Process Increases the hardness at the surface and sufficient depth to support
the typical Hern’s stress at the point of contact between the rollers and the balls
Layer of Magnetite Fe3 O4:
850 HV (64.5HRc) 5 micron (0.0002”)
e sheet hardness
750 - 800 HV (60.5 – 62.5 HRc) 15 - 20 micron (0.0006” - 0.0008”)
Diffusion layer hardness
750 - 300 HV (60.5 – 30.9 HRc) 0.05 - 0.70 mm (0.002” – 0.028”)
HV = Vickers Hardness HRc = Rockewll C Hardness
#DWwebinar
Traditional Heat Treatment Process
Induction heat treating High temperature exposure, then quench Creates a surface oxide layer and heat distortion
• Requires surface polishing• Requires straightening operations
Surface finishing Zinc plating, Nickel plating or similar
• Soft and/or thin layers of protection
Adds costIncreased selling price
