The series includes a choice of linear ball and composite bearing models in 5 bore sizes from 20mm to 50mm.

The RCS series includes several standard features that are not found on competing, built-to-order slides.
These include: ISO style repairable cylinders with integral air cushions and dowel pin locating holes on the tooling plate and slide body. On composite bearing models, oversized guide shafts are also standard. Guide rods on the RCS Series are made of precision ground, hardened steel and share the industries highest rating for load capacity. "In addition to offering a broad selection of off-the-shelf slides, we wanted to assure that the new RCS Series exceeded performance expectations. To do this, each model variation was tested and validated for max load at over 200 million linear inches of travel" stated Gary Rosengren, Director of Engineering, Tol-O-Matic Inc.
