WDX Linear Slides
are ready for water, washdown and all weather applications. WDX
Polyethylene carriage and end blocks are:
Lightweight
Smooth
Quiet
FDA Approved for Food
Contact
Very Low Friction
Abrasion Resistant
Dimensionally Stable
Non-Magnetic
WDX is a very tough material, with the
highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made. It is
highly resistantto corrosive chemicals with exception of oxidizing
acids; has extremely low moisture absorption and a verylow coefficient
of friction; is self-lubricating; and is highly resistant to abrasion,
in some forms being
15 times moreresistant to abrasion than
carbon steel. Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than
that of nylon and acetal,and is comparable to that of
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon), but WDX has better
abrasionresistance than PTFE. It is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic
and FDA approved.
NOTE: Open Design Allows for Debris
Pass-Through During Washdown


To provide a positive mounting to the carriage
plate we have inserted 4) 1/4-20 300 Series Stainless Steel PEM Inserts.
WDX-CC
Slides feature FDA
Compliant/Washdown Ceramic Coated Aluminum Shafting for super low weight
construction.
WDX-SS
Slides feature 300 Series Stainless
Shafting
(316 for naval and ocean-going applications).
