Different Types of Linear Slides
1. Full Extension Linear Slides:
- In full extension linear slides, the moving component has the ability to travel the entire length of the slide.
- This type of linear slide provides maximum reach and access to the user, allowing the moving part to extend fully from the stationary part.
- Full extension slides are commonly used in applications where complete access to the extended position is necessary, such as in drawers, keyboard trays, or other pull-out mechanisms.
2. Partial Extension Linear Slides:
- Partial extension linear slides allow the moving component to travel only a portion of the slide's length.
- The range of motion is limited, and the moving part does not extend fully from the stationary part.
-These slides are suitable for applications where only a partial extension is needed or where space constraints limit the extent of movement.
3. No Extension Linear Slides:
- No extension linear slides, also known as fixed or non-telescopic slides, do not have the capability for extension.
- The moving component is fixed in its position and cannot slide out from the stationary part.
- This type is often used in applications where a rigid structure is required, and there is no need for the linear motion capability.
Applications of Linear Slides
- Automation Systems Efficiency: These slides provide controlled linear motion for automation systems, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
- Laboratory Equipment Precision: Linear slides are integral in laboratory equipment, enabling precise positioning and controlled movement for accurate experiments and analyses.
- Industrial Assembly Line Performance: In industrial assembly lines, linear slides contribute to the seamless and accurate assembly of components, ensuring product quality and consistency.
