Belt Units : Ball Guided

Belt driven, ball guided positioning slides by Thomson are designed for smooth travel in dynamic applications requiring high speed, high acceleration. These families present a long life performance in the midst of acceleration rates up to 40 m/s2.

MF (TF)

Movopart® MG (Rapidtrak® TG) rodless actuator slides ball guided versions are designed to provide good accuracy at high speed and acceleration capacities with low friction for precise positioning. Belt drive and saddle (double saddle optional) rides along the top of the actuator to carry the load.

WMZ

POWERLine® WMZ positioning slides combine the high dynamics of a toothed belt drive with a patented screw support technology. In addition, its patented plastic coverstrip system allows operation in dirty environments keeping the internal system components fully protected while reducing friction to a minimum.Learn more about WMZ (POWERLine) >

MLSM

FORCELine MLSM80Z positioning slide is designed with the extremely fast SPEEDLine® guidance system.With its successful patented plastic cover band, these units can be installed in just about any direction. The surface of the unit's power bridge is designed with T-slots on similar spacing allowing easy X-Y assembly of gantry or Cartesian systems.Learn more about MLSM (FORCELine) >

MS46E

MicroStage® MS46 is a compact, light weight linear slide table pre-aligned and pre-assembled for immediate installation and application use. This belt driven guide's design is based off Thomson's Super Ball Bushing® technology and is ideal for automation in cramped areas.Learn more about MS46E (MicroStage) >

WH

SPEEDLine® WH40 positioning slide is a miniaturized linear drive unit designed for extremely small and compact dimensional applications. Built with a low coefficient of friction, these slides make it easy to fit smaller motors. Rubber wipers protect the mechanism from dirt, increasing service life.
