Introducing the <strong>GV3</strong><br />
linear guidance and<br />
transmission system<br />
The <strong>GV3</strong> linear guidance and transmission system has<br />
been designed to provide the customer with an unrivalled<br />
choice of sizes and options to cater for virtually every<br />
linear motion requirement.<br />
In devising <strong>GV3</strong>, Hepco have retained the best features<br />
of their highly successful Generation 2 and CM Slide<br />
Systems in a greatly expanded range. Many new<br />
components have been added including Single Edge<br />
Slides, Flat Tracks and drive options.<br />
Customers may now choose Slides from three grades<br />
of precision and combine them with either Twin Bearings,<br />
Double Row Bearings or low cost Slimline Bearings.<br />
This enables the ideal system to be specified for<br />
optimum performance within the budget available.<br />
The reliability of Hepco’s all steel slideway and<br />
V bearing concept has been proved conclusively over<br />
nearly fifty years. Improvements are continually being<br />
made to this fundamentally sound design resulting in<br />
a truly evolutionary system for the 21st century.<br />
By choosing <strong>GV3</strong>, customers can be assured of a quality<br />
and performance which surpasses all expectations.<br />
