Description
Aluminium Radial Rails are a cost effective but high quality benchmark in light to medium duty linear motion. Manufactured via the same process as our Radial Telescopic Slides, these have a milled raceway which precisely supports the sealed rollers, ensuring full radial contact and eliminating brinelling.
The rails come in three profile sizes – 32, 52 and 80mm and are stocked in lengths up to 5.5 metres (5,500mm).Rails are supplied undrilled as standard, with centrelines clearly marked. We can supply rail cut and drilled to customer own requirements upon request. Rail lengths up to 2.7m (2,700mm) can be purchased online. Lengths over 1,200mm will require specialist shipping, so please contact the sales office for batch quantity pricing.
The carriers come in 3 and 5 bearing lengths for increased stability. Steel bearings are fitted for strength, with Delrin bearings for noise and weight reduction. The carriers are supplied pre-loaded and fitted to each rail. Bearings are customer adjustable to increase or decrease factory settings. Carriers can be detached from the rail without loss of bearings.
Rails and carriers are purchased separately and any quantity can be fitted per rail. If required, rails can be continuously joined. Loads stated are PER CARRIER on the direct axis and will be increased accordingly to how many are fitted and how they are mounted. The load data is reduced by 50% if the rail & carriers are mounted flat, also the rail must be totally supported to achieve maximum loading.
The R80 Rail fitted with carrier has a height of 80mm and a width of 33.50mm. The R80 5 bearing carrier has an individual load capacity of 700N. This is increased by adding additional carriers.
R80 Rails & Carriers are ordered separately and arrive factory fitted. We have large stock holdings of this product and have a same day shipping policy.

thank you for the expedited despatch,. We use these rails for museum partitions where most of the work are one offs. we need a flexible system to hold the rail in inventory and cut as required. Taking this at the max length of 5500mm (216″) really helps us, as with the other two sizes they offer.the sliders are very smooth and quiet in operation. online order process and Shipping to Canada is easy.

like many other reviews, we ordered and received the rails on an over night service. Easy to fit and very quiet in operation. The carrier dismounts so we can drill the rails out to suit. End stops would be a good idea, but we made our own.

The heavy duty 80mm aluminium rail has a chamferred race in which the rollers move within. This provides a smooth movement with minimal pre-load, resulting in a stable structure. Carriers can be added at will.
we had to drill the rail and provide our own endstops which was no problem, considering the savings on the previous rails we were using

They have been specified in a 5 metre light structure for an airport. Working well so far.
Will need another few sets. Jon went out of his way to select the right product, which was a great help.
