Slide Beams<br />
The Hepco Slide Beam consists of a Flat Slide mounted onto a precision, anodised aluminium extrusion to provide a rigid<br />
self-supporting beam which can form an integral part of a machine structure (refer slide deflection calculations). There are<br />
two basic sizes of beam, each available with a number of different Slide widths to cater for customer’s space and moment<br />
load requirements. The smaller size Beam is available as a lightweight version, this reduces inertia where the Slide Beam<br />
is to be used dynamically. All Slide Beams can be supplied in lengths of up to 8 metres in one piece* 1,3 and are compatible<br />
with all Hepco Bearings, Carriages and Lubrication Devices. Slides can be specified in any of the three grades of precision<br />
available depending upon the requirements for cost, accuracy and performance (see System Selector).<br />
Customers contemplating driving by means of a belt, steel band, cable or chain, will benefit from the large hollow centre<br />
which can be used for routing the return. If drive by timing belt is required, please consider the Hepco Belt Driven<br />
Carriage which has been specifically designed for such application. This will require the counterbored screw fixing option<br />

Notes:<br />
1. Beams longer than 4020 mm (6000 mm for P3 grade) will be supplied with two or more lengths of matched Slide each mounted and doweled to form a<br />
precision joint. Additional fixing screws will normally be provided adjacent to each join. Slide Beams with shorter slides fixed in any position, can be supplied<br />
upon request.<br />
2. For optimum price and delivery time, Slide Beam lengths should be specified which maintain the C and D dimensions in the table above. In all cases unless<br />
otherwise specified by the customer, C and D dimensions will be supplied equal.<br />
3. For requirements in excess of 8 m, Slide Beams can be supplied matched ready for joining. Please contact Hepco for details.<br />
4. In the table, the available choices of Carriage to use with each Slide Beam are quoted. However, it is possible to use a customer made carriage incorporating<br />
other sizes of Bearings (please see details of "mix and match" possibilities).<br />
5. The Heavy Duty T nut is recommended for the Lightweight Beam and where greater security of fixing is required. T nut section is also available in undrilled<br />
lengths up to 3000 mm. Please specify part number TN8S followed by the required length in mm.<br />
6. The T slot cover is made from black UPVC and is available in lengths up to 8000 mm. Please specify part number TC8 followed by the required length in mm.<br />
