  • Haydon Kerk BGS Linear Rail System +

    The BGS Linear Rail system combines many technologies into a single integrated linear motion platform. The system provides excellent load capability and is engineered for both normal loads and moment loads. High roll, pitch, and yaw moment load capability allows the linear rail to maintain tight accuracy and repeatability even with significant cantilevered loading. Depending on the rail series, maximum stroke length available is 760 mm (30 in) and static load rating up to 1000 N (225 lbf). Dynamic load capability is a function of the frame size, motor rating, and required motion profile.
