Original Press Release:

Full 100% Extension Telescoping Rails Available from LM76 features Smooth Sliding!

E. Longmeadow, MA – LM76 has added a new series of 100% Extension Rails to their extensive product line of linear motion components and complete linear motion systems. The exclusive distributor of SAIBO Linear Motion Systems in the US, LM76, is now offering the SAIBO TDB28 and TDB 43 series of Telescoping Extension Rails. Stroke lengths (extension) are 100% of the length of the assembly. The TDB28 series of Telescoping Extension Rails consists of 14 rails with stroke lengths from 148 mm (5.827 in) to 1202 mm (47.323 in.) and supporting loads from 472 N (106 lbs) to 1018 N (229 lbs) when two rails are mounted in parallel and the load is uniformly distributed between the rails.  The TDB43 series of Telescoping Extension Rails consists of 23 rails with stroke lengths from 246 mm (9.685 in) to 2026 mm (79.764 in.) and supporting loads from 1212 N (272 lbs) to 2414 N (543 lbs) when two rails are mounted in parallel and the load is uniformly distributed between the rails. 

The TDB28 and TDP43 Telescoping Extension Rails are created using a "C" shaped external rail and an internal slider. Two rows of steel ball bearings (one on the top and bottom of the slider) travel in ball cages on hardened "V" shaped ways with four points of contact. Assembled with a zero clearance, these compact, precision, smooth sliding rails are designed for applications such as: Delicate parts transfer, assembly, testing, laser machining and drilling wafer handling, rail and rack systems for components in autonomous vehicles, aircraft, trains, ships, and trucks.

These industry standard 100% Fulll Extension Rails are ideal for use in new and existing applications. Both the TDB28 and TDB43 100% Full Extension Rails have a maximum working speed of 0.8 m/sec. (xxx in/sec ) and have an operating temperature range of -20OC (-20OF) to 120OC (-20OF).
