Deflection of Self-Supporting Slides<br />

When <strong>GV3</strong> Slide Beams and Spacer Slides are used as self-supporting beams (see application examples on pages 10,12 & 14),<br />

the Slides will deflect under load and their own weight. Care should be taken when designing an installation to take account of<br />

this deflection, by choosing a Slide or Slide Beam which will give both adequate life and satisfactory stiffness for the duty.<br />

The deflection of a Slide or Slide Beam across a span (as shown<br />

opposite), will be a maximum at the centre of the span when the load<br />

passes over this point. This maximum deflection is given by equation (1):<br />

The deflection of a Slide or Slide Beam acting as a cantilever will be<br />

a maximum at the free end when the load is at the outermost extremity<br />

of its stroke. This maximum deflection is given by equation (2)* 1 :<br />

In the equations (1) and (2) above, L, k and d are the dimensions shown in the relevant diagrams (in mm) and F is the load<br />

applied in Newtons. The term EI is the product of the Slide or Slide Beam material’s Young’s modulus and the section moment<br />

of inertia, which is a constant relating to the stiffness of the Slide section in the orientation of the application.<br />

The term Q is the mass of the Slide in kg/mm and g is the acceleration due to gravity (=9.81m/s 2 ).<br />

The values of EI and Q for the various sections are given in the table below:<br />

Vertical Bending<br />

* Notes:<br />

1. The calculation for the deflection of a cantilevered slide assumes that the slide is held absolutely rigidly at one end. This is often difficult to achieve in practice,<br />

and it is usual to allow for additional deflection due to the compliance of the support. Hepco will supply such data on flange clamps on request.<br />

2. The deflections calculated are for static loads. In some situations dynamic loading may increase the amount of bend.<br />

3. For maximum stiffness, the slide or slide beam section should be arranged such that the bending mode with the higher value for EI resists bending. Care<br />

should be taken in such applications to ensure that offset loads do not cause excessive bending in the weaker perpendicular plane.<br />
