2DB (SuperSlide)
The 2DB positioning table (formerly known as SuperSlide 2DB) is a continuously supported system designed for rigid applications moving medium to heavy duty loads. With maximum travel lengths up to 2438 mm (96 in), these units can provide linear dynamic load forces up to 1557 N (350 lbf) with travel speeds as fast as 1059 mm/s (41.7 in/s). An integrated ball or lead screw assembly with standard NEMA motor mounting is supported in a dual LinearRace Rail package.Learn more about 2DB (SuperSlide) >
2EB (SuperSlide)
Thomson's SuperSlide 2EB positioning slides are continuously supported systems with integral screw assemblies using english standard units. Based on Thomson's Round Rail technology, these units work well in applications where medium to heavy load handling is required.Learn more about 2EB (SuperSlide) >
2HB (AccuSlide)
The AccuSlide 2HB is a high performance slide tablebased on Thomson's continuously supported, ProfileRail system using square rail technology. The units are designed to absorb extremely high load torques and offer superior performancelife in difficult applications.Learn more about 2HB (AccuSlide) >
2RB (SuperSlide)
Thomson's SuperSlide 2RB positioning slides are continuously and intermittently supported systems withintegral screw assemblies in both metric and english standard units. Based on Thomson's Round Rail technology, these units work well in applications where moderate stiffness and rigidity are requiredLearn more about 2RB (SuperSlide) >
MF (Movopart)
Thomson's Movopart MF rodless actuator slides comes in two versions: M (single nut) and MD (double nut). The ball guide versions of this product family are designed to provide high load capacity with low friction for precise positioning. The Cover Band Stretcher extends the life of the cover band, which protects screw and guide from contaminants, and eliminates the need to adjust the tension as it wears.Learn more about MF (Movopart) >
MLSM (FORCELine)
Thomson's FORCELine MLSM60D/80D positioning slides comes with a patented guide and screw support system. The guides are separated and positioned at a 45° angle to reduce the overall height. With its patented plastic cover band, these units can be installed in just about any direction.Learn more about MLSM (FORCELine) >
MS (MicroStage)
Thomson's MicroStage MS ultra compact linear slide tables are among the most compact, low cost, and lightweight ball guided systems on the market today. The guide's design is based off Thomson's Super Ball Bushing technology and is ideal for automation in cramped areas.Learn more about MS (MicroStage) >
TF (Rapidtrak)
Thomson's Rapidtrak Series of linear rodless actuator slides provide guided linear motion through a ball screw drive and a saddle that rides along the top of the actuator to carry the load. The Cover Band Stretcher extends the life of the cover band, which protects screw and guide from contaminants, and eliminates the need to adjust the tension as it wears. These units are designed withhigh thrust, high precision and stiffness and long stroke capabilities.Learn more about TF (Rapidtrak) >
WM (POWERLine)
Thomson's POWERLine WM positioning slide utilizes a patented screw support technology. In addition,its patented plastic coverstrip system allows operation in dirty environments keeping the internal system components fully protected while reducing friction to a minimum. The WM40 model of this family is specifically designed for miniaturized applications with extremely small dimensions.Learn more about WM (POWERLine) >
WV (POWERLine)
Thomson's POWERLine WV positioning slides utilize a patented screw support technology. In addition,its patented plastic coverstrip system allows operation in dirty environments while keeping the internal system components fully protected. The WV Series differs from WM Series in that external guides are required.Learn more about WV (POWERLine) >
