Danaher Motion Offers Miniature Linear Guide
WOOD DALE, IL – Danaher Motion introduces a full
range of miniature linear guides—Thomson MicroGuides—to meet the high
accuracy, quality, and longevity requirements demanded by the
semiconductor, medical, laboratory, and testing industries.
Each MicroGuide is constructed of 440 stainless steel to help
resist corrosion. Providing whisper quiet movement and unlimited stroke
capabilities, the MicroGuide delivers high precision accuracy with
dimensional tolerances within +/-0.010mm. Its accuracy is achieved by
utilizing a gothic arch ball groove geometry which enables single rail
operation and smooth operation.
“The sub-miniature MicroGuide combines high accuracy and long
life into a one small package,” states Patrick Rocco, Product Manager of
Profile Rail for the Rails & Components Group. “In addition, it’s
engineered to industry standards as a “drop-in” replacement and will
utilize the same hole pattern as an existing guide. This makes it an
ideal product for both end users and OEMs.”
The MicroGuide is available in 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 12mm and 15mm
sizes. The 5mm guide is cleanroom and vacuum compatible. Custom lengths
and configurations can also be accommodated for specific application
needs.
The Thomson MicroGuides are currently in stock and ready for
immediate delivery. They are an ideal choice for front end semiconductor
processing equipment, back end semiconductor packaging and handling
equipment, medical diagnostic and imaging equipment, laboratory
automation equipment, and testing and inspection equipment.
