 		 LM76, Problem Solved!

When Interplex Metals needed linear bearings for their Metal Plating Tower, they called LM76 for a recommendation. Given the details, LM76's Mike Quinn recommended the SG 35Speed Demon Linear Bearing System. Because the line was down, LM76 cut the rails and had the product shipped the
same day.
 
The supported mast weighs 150 pounds.
Linear speed is slow and the mast has
to adjust per the tension of the reels
( stamped metal frames ). Friction has
to be very low and stiction has to be
non-existent. Engineering liked the idea that SG blocks have adjustable pre-load capability so they could adjust the tension "perfectly." There are four bearing pads, 2 per side. Because
the cross arm which carries the UHMW rollers cannot move side-to-side,Mike recommended a 5 roller block. (Blocks come in 3,4 &5 roller sizes)

Interplex loves their SG and production
is rolling...once again.
