Hardened way slide accessories

Limit switch–Side mounted: Heavy duty oil tight plug-in limit switches are offered in four commonly used arrangements and are available on all model slides. Other types of switch arrangements can be supplied depending on your control requirements. Switch mounting configurations are shown for models HWS and HWL slides.

SA1 - One neutral position switch for signal at each end of travel. Saddle lengths greater or equal to the travel plus 2 inches.

SA2 - Two standard switches for signal at each end of travel. Saddle lengths less than the travel plus 2 inches.

SA3 - One neutral position switch for signal at each end of travel and one standard switch to signal a portion of travel in feed (specify feed length). Saddle lengths greater or equal to the travel plus 2 inches.

SA4 - Three standard switches. Two used for signal at each end of travel and one used to signal a portion of travel in feed (specify feed length). Saddle lengths less than the travel plus 2 inches.

SA5 - Three standard switches. Two used for signal at each end of travel and one used for home position.
Limit switch–Side mounted multiple: Precision multiple limit switches are more compact in design and combine from two to six switches in one housing. They are most beneficial when space is limited or for numerous switching positions. Available on all model slides.
Limit switch–Stop rod: A heavy duty oil tight plug-in neutral position switch gives a signal at each end of the travel and does not require resetting when the travel limits are adjusted. Available on all stop rod model slides.
Lubrication system–Manual or automatic: Either system provides a convenient method of supplying a metered quantity of oil to the slide assembly with the inherent advantages of safety, cleanliness and savings both in time and lubricant. The manual system uses a pull handle pump lubricator, while the automatic system uses an electric pump that can be set to provide proper lubrication. Either lubrication system can be supplied with nylon tubing, steel tubing or an internal manifold in the saddle (please specify). The lubricator will be supplied unmounted with six feet of nylon tubing.
Way covers–Accordion: When way wipers are not adequate, coated fabric covers are recommended in applications where there are chips, dirt or dust that might harm the way surface or drive mechanism in the base cavity. These covers are not available on end stop models or cylinder end of stop rod models.
Way covers–Telescoping: Collapsible metal covers with durable wipers and guides protect the ways and drive mechanism from contaminants such as chips and dirt. These covers also prevent accidental damage from tools or work pieces. The covers are fixed to the saddle and base support bracket. They are available on all model slides except drive end on models A1 and E1. Consult factory for specific dimensions.
Cavity cover–Fixed: A metal cover mounted between the ways and fixed to the base, with a durable wiper mounted to the saddle protects the drive mechanism against chips, dirt, dust or accidental damage from tools or work pieces. These covers are generally used for short travel slides, and their use depends on the saddle length and travel. Available on all slides. Consult factory if applicable to your particular slide configuration.
Way covers–Fixed: A metal cover with two side plates fixed to the saddle provides protection to the ways and base cavity from contaminants such as chips, dirt or accidental damage from tools or work pieces. These covers are generally used for short travel slides. Available on all slides except drive end on models A1, E1, P4 and P5.
A durable wiper mounted to the saddle (opposite the drive end) wipes away chips, dirt and other contaminants from the base cavity. Base or end plate holes may be necessary for chip removal. Cavity wipers are available on all model slides with drives that do not extend beyond the front end of the saddle.
