The PHD Series SFM Multi-Position Rodless Gantry Rail Pneumatic Slides are designed for applications requiring adjustable stopping positions along the slide's travel. The slides operate within a pressure range of 36 psi to 116 psi and can accommodate travel lengths from 50 mm to 3400 mm, depending on the model. They feature a modular design that allows for easy integration with other PHD products and provide options for mid-stop actuators and adjustable end stops, enhancing versatility in positioning. The slides are factory lubricated for life and are field repairable, ensuring long-term reliability. They are constructed to withstand operating temperatures from 41¬8F to 140¬8F and offer a repeatability of ¬±0.0016 inches. The maximum dynamic load capacity varies by size, with the SFM527 supporting up to 946 lbs and the SFM540 up to 1971 lbs. Additionally, the slides include provisions for shock absorbers to manage kinetic energy at the end of travel, contributing to smoother operation. Engineers considering this product should evaluate its specifications against their application requirements, particularly in terms of load capacity, travel length, and the need for adjustable stops.
PHD’s Series SFM Multiple Position Slide offers a modular multi-position stop system that includes optional mid-position actuators and adjustable end stops to support diverse applications. Multiple intermediate stopping positions are available, limited only by the length of the slide. The New Series SFM Multiple Position Slide will allow switches to be mounted at any point along the slide’s travel and offers optional travel adjustment for precise positioning. Series SFM standards include, a stainless steel band and saddle seal to protect the precision bearing system from dirt and contaminants, as well as port positions and mounting. An optional cap mounted shock absorber to absorb end-of-travel kinetic energy and saddle mounted shock absorbers provide smooth deceleration.
Advantages:
Modular multi-position stop system, saddle mounted shock absorbers, dual carriage precision rail bearing, multiple adjustable intermediate stops, low deflection and high moment capacity
