HANNOVER, GERMANY - April 11, 2007 - Pacific Bearing Company released five products at the Hannover Messe Trade Fair in Hannover, Germany, including Redi-Rail Commercial Rail, Mini-Rail T-Guides, Mini-Rail Roller Carriages, Low Profile Mini-Slide and Dolphin Flex Guide. Redi-Rail Commercial Rail linear guides are available in three materials: steel, stainless steel, or polymer rollers, for applications with specific requirements. They are an ideal replacement, low-cost solution virtually anywhere compact, corrosion-resistant linear motion is required. Applications include automation, material handling, office equipment, and semiconductor equipment. The stainless steel series is ideal for harsh environments such as chemical, underwater, and wash-down. More importantly, it is FDA compliant -- required for medical applications and food and beverage equipment. Mini-Rail T-Guides feature the company's Simplicity self-lubricated polymer inserts and their LaZer Straight™ Rail providing an interchangeable, low friction, light weight, low profile linear solution. Fast delivery and low cost make this product a significant alternative. Mini-Rail Roller Carriages are an economical alternative to conventional light load solutions. They are pre-lubricated, factory adjusted, and rails can be butt-jointed for unlimited travel. They are ideal for automation, medical equipment, and packaging automation - any application where there is compact, low friction movement. Mini-Rail Low Profile Mini-Slides are interchangeable with other manufacturers, available in four sizes, have operating temperatures of -35C to 65C, and are resistant to corrosion, lubricants, fuels, dyes and weak acids. Materials include an HDPE carriage that has a UL 94 HB flammability rating, molded-in stainless steel thread inserts, and anodized aluminum rails. The Dolphin Flex Linear Guide is an adaptation of Pacific Bearing's high-end, application specific Dolphin® Guides. It employs the LaZer Straight Rail, precision die cast carriage, modular construction, and industry standard interchange. The SimGlide™ E Polymer inserts make it an ideal solution for low cost automation, positioning tables, gauges, packaging equipment, and anywhere compact flexible linear movement is required. This year celebrates Pacific Bearing Company's 25th year as a leading worldwide supplier of cutting-edge motion solutions that include Simplicity self-lubricating linear bearings, slides and shafting, Dolphin Guides two-piece self-lubricating linear slides and guides, Redi-Rail rolling element linear guides, Mini-Rail self-lubricating miniature linear guides, and the Hevi-Rail combination linear bearing systems.
