Sliders are available with either 3 or 5 rollers. For the 3 roller version, the first and third roller are fixed concentric rollers that run on the same raceway. The second roller is eccentric and runs on the opposite raceway.
The eccentric feature is used to adjust the slider preload in the rail. For the 5 roller version, the two lateral and the central roller are fixed, and run on the same raceway.
The second and fourth roller are eccentric and run on the opposite raceway. The eccentric feature is used to adjust the slider preload in the rail. Because one raceway contacts more rollers than the other raceway, the sliders have a preferred loading direction.
The slider is marked with two small circular notches indicating the direction with the most rollers and direction of preferred loading. Care during assembly is required to ensure the maximum load capacity of the system is achieved.
THE GUIDING SLIDERS RV
By utilizing all guiding rollers, RV.,RVS. sliders are obtained. These sliders are completely constrained and will support loads and moments in all directions with the greatest capacity in the radial direction.
THE FLOATING SLIDERS RP
By utilizing all floating rollers RP.,RPS. sliders are obtained. These sliders are able to carry full radial load, while floating and rotating a bit, without affecting the preload or the smooth running quality, to eliminate eventual binding problems, typical for recirculating ball-bearing sliders.
