This 230+ page guide details the features, specifications, dimensions and ordering information for the company’s complete family of linear units and accessories. Users will also benefit from illustrated application examples, selection guidelines and educational engineering reference material to assist in identifying the optimum linear motion system for the application. “Often the ideal design solution is not about finding the fastest, sturdiest, most accurate or even the least expensive option; rather it is the optimal balance of performance, life and cost,” says Rob Gallagher, Marketing Communications Manager for Thomson.
