Precision Hardened Steel Telescopic Slides are robust and precise products designed for industrial applications. They feature four-point bearing contact with zero clearance, cold-drawn steel (CF53) beams, induction-hardened raceways to 58+4 HRC, and 20µm black zinc corrosion protection. These slides utilize GCr15 60+4 HRC bearings and are capable of operating at temperatures up to 170°C and speeds up to 0.8m/s.PrecisionHardenedSteelTelescopicSlidesarerobustandpreciseproductsdesignedforindustrialapplications.Theyfeaturefour-pointbearingcontactwithzeroclearance,cold-drawnsteel(CF53)beams,induction-hardenedracewaysto58+4HRC,and20µmblackzinccorrosionprotection.TheseslidesutilizeGCr1560+4HRCbearingsandarecapableofoperatingattemperaturesupto170°Candspeedsupto0.8m/s.
