Linear Guide Elements suit medical applications.
Press Release Summary:
Precision linear guide elements operate with zero clearance between components, aiding alignment between moving parts. Guide elements, consisting of guide pins, bushings, and ball cages, operate under preload or slight interference condition. Guide pillar diameters are available from 3-63 mm. They offer short stroke, backlash-free operation for precision linear motion capability required in injection molds, CT scanners, and fluid metering devices.

Agathon Linear Guide Elements Offer Precision Alignment for Medical Applications
Bethel, CT April 2, 2004...To better serve the medical equipment and device OEMs, AGATHON precision linear guide elements operate with zero clearance between components, (versus typical slide bushing or recirculating ball component assemblies), resulting in improved alignment between moving parts. When assembled, AGATHON guide elements consisting of guide pins, bushings and ball cages operate under a preload, or slight interference condition and offer short stroke, backlash free operation for precision linear motion capability required in injection molds, blister packaging dies, contact lens and precision optics machinery, CT scanners and fluid metering devices. Guide pillar diameters are available from 3-63 mm.
AGATHON, is a Swiss manufacturer of precision linear guide element components, consisting of guide pins, bushings and ball cages used extensively in progressive metal stamping dies for high speed, high volume or close tolerance stamping operations.
