The Precision Alliance (TPA)

These bearings are usually found in application such as: wind turbines, heavy load transporters, solar trackers, harbor cranes, hydraulic equipment, crane steering mechanisms, automation systems, heavy load manipulators, yaw and pitch control tables.

We design, develop, and manufacture custom curved linear rail guide systems for medical, industrial, and mobile vehicle applications. Below is an example of a system that we designed for a food packaging machine. It provides a means to transport pouches in a controlled manner along an oval track to various fill and seal stations. The track radius 225mm (8.8 inches) with 1200mm (47.2 inches)long straight sections. Up to 40 moving blocks can be utilized to move product along the rail.

The MR Series Miniature Linear Guides provide precision, low friction guidance of payloads for machine and instrument applications. These bearings have 2 rows of recirculating balls engaged via 4 point contact to a precision ground rail which provides load capacity in all directions. Industry standard 3 to 15 sizes and 2 to 15 sizes in wide format rails Load capacities to 12kN (2800lbs) Rail lengths up to 1000mm available Options for seals, scrapers, and maintenance free lubrication system Stainless Steel construction for corrosion resistance

The SBI ... H Series High Temperature Linear Guides provide high load capacity and precision guidance like the SBI Series but are modified for high temperature environments. The Aluminum end caps enable all metal construction. Suitable for temperatures up to 180 °C (356 °F). Industry standard sizes 15 to 65 Load capacities from 4.5kN to 320kN (1000lbs to 72000lbs) Rail lengths to 4000mm with splicing available for longer lengths Special surface treatment options are available such as Raydent, TDC, and TDNC

Sanitation is a number one priority in food safe production environments. Even the smallest amount of rust or corrosion on equipment can result in regulatory fines or downtime. Preventing rust and corrosion in extreme environments, which are often humid and subject to high pressure hot water cleaning with strong chemical agents is challenging. We design, develop, and manufacture industrial telescopic slides for these environments. Below is an example of a washdown unit made of corrosion resistant stainless steel materia

Roller Bearing Linear Guides provide high capacity with the least amount of deflection under load while offering low friction guidance of payloads for machine applications. With 4 rows of recirculating rollers engaged in a precision ground rail, these bearings provide load capacity in all directions. Industry standard sizes 25 to 55 High load carrying capacity Very little deflection under load resulting in high stiffness and rigidity Rail lengths to 4000mm with splicing available for longer lengths
