Stainless steel linear motion range for food manufacturing applications
HepcoMotion has expanded its corrosion-resistant SL2 linear motion range, bringing all the benefits of the GV3 linear guide system for use in food manufacturing applications. The SL2 range is available with more sizes and configurations that ever before, in what HepcoMotion says is the industry's largest range of stainless steel linear motion components.

The SL2 range now features a larger and more comprehensive selection of bearings and slides, incorporating most types and sizes from the GV3 range in corrosion-resistant SL2.
Stainless steel single edge slides, flat track and rollers, and rack and pinions are now included in the SL2 range. The single edge slides are available with or without a precision rack machined into the back face. This type of slide allows two slides to be mounted apart, for large platform carriages and carriages with high moment load capacities, with increased stiffness and stability.
The SL2 range now also includes corrosion-resistant end stops, removable carriages, and carriage locking devices.
A new product catalogue supports the expanded range, featuring improved navigation, updated application examples, and new product introductions. An SL2 technical guide has also been created as a customer reference tool. Designed to be used alongside the updated catalogue, this guide consolidates all necessary information and resources into one place, making it easier for customers to design corrosion-resistant systems effectively.
The expanded catalogue and technical guide now feature a variety of special bearing solutions, such as vacuum bearings, extreme temperature bearings and floating bearings, providing customers with a broader range of options.
