    New Product: Pneumatic Mini Slide

    April 10, 2008
    The DGSL ultraprecise pneumatic mini slide features an integrated bearing system with 0.01-mm accuracy and linearity and parallelism in the 0.01-mm range.

    Designed for positioning or as an easy pick-and-place system, the slide is available in eight sizes from 4 to 20-mm diameter and strokes to 200 mm. An end-position interlock and an optional clamping unit keep loads from lowering onto workpiece carriers in an air-supply failure and provides protection in emergency stops.

    Three different end-stop systems (shock-absorber, cushioned metal stops or polymer stops) are available.
