E. Longmeadow, MA –Motion Control – CERAMICSPEED Hybrid Radial Bearings are designed for environments of high humidity, have been approved in accordance with FDA 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulation covering medicine and food), and have an EC No. 1935/2004 authorization. Superior life and performance when compared to bearings made from just stainless steel, these Bearings feature very smooth ceramic balls that will not deform or spall under high loads, and synthetic material ball cages.

Motion Control Application – How Do You Move Articles of Antiquity?

“Very Carefully” With A High Load Rail System from LM76!

motion control - application

E. Longmeadow, MA – — Motion Control – Application -The Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) has to move articles of antiquity from one location to another. In this instance, they are moving a 5000 year old relief (hieroglyphics) weighing 8000 pounds to a new location in the Museum. Here is a frontal photo of the Relief from The Tomb of Senenuka.

We needed a bearing block that would be FDA compliant, washdown compliant and…be able to take a radioactive environment. We made a motion control unitized bearing and mounting block combination that met application requirements. You won’t find this an any catalog!

Motion Control – Application Story – LM76’s JET Rail Linear Bearings and Engineering Exceed the Challenge!

Motion Control – JetRail Linear Bearings Application

Motion Control – Because LM76 understands workplace environments, manufacturing processes, and offers a complete line of linear bearing systems, LM76 was able to solve a problem and eliminate downtime!

E. Longmeadow, MA –  Motion Control — When profile rail guides fail within a week bring production to a standstill LM76 was called on to supply a linear bearing system that would stand up under extreme conditions. This application story is not claiming that LM76 Jet Rail Systems are superior to profile rail guide systems. However, in this harsh environment the LM76 Jet Rail System proved to be the correct engineering option.

motion control -linear bearing application

 

This was a troublesome application. This system is completely submerged in radioactive water at a nuclear power plant. So no Teflon, no seals, no lubrication – nothing that will degrade in a radioactive environment. The majority of components are stainless steel – except for our ceramic coated/supported shafting and our special, designed for this particular application/never made before, ETX self-lubricating linear blocks. As you see, there is a circular saw which cuts metal-mesh filters which need to be replaced every few months. A big solution for a pressing application.
