June 2, 2012 - Isotech introduced a line of lightweight, non-magnetic linear ball slides designed for motion applications that are sensitive to magnetic influence. Non-magnetic ball slide construction consists of silicon nitride ceramic ball bearings, titanium shafts, aluminum carriage and base, and brass fasteners. The end result is a non-magnetic, lightweight, and low maintenance ball slide. Factory preload minimizes side play and provides low friction, while a self-cleaning ball bearing design offers long life and requires no lubrication. Both of these features contribute to simplify maintenance and provide a long service life (100 million inches at one half the unit's rated load is estimated) for each ball slide unit.
