Introducing the
HepcoMotion® Precision Shaft
Correct Shaft selection is vital if maximum performance is
to be achieved from your linear system. Hepco Precision
Shaft has been developed to provide excellent
performance when used with Pacific liner technology,
allowing optimal transfer of the Frelon material
to the Shaft. Successful transfer in turn will
provide a zero maintenance benefit as
well as an extended life for users of
Pacific linear/rotary bearings.

This precision hardened and ground

Shaft is also the obvious choice for
use with conventional recirculating
linear bearing technology, offering
excellent wear resistance.

Metric Shaft Support Rails
d

Shaft support rails will prevent shaft deflection under M

load and provide a high level of rigidity in order to
achieve optimum performance from your open type
145˚
Pacific Bearing, or any other open recirculating
linear bearing.
N
Support Rails are of low overall height making them
particularly suitable for use with Hepco Pacific Pillow O2
Blocks. The standard support rail is manufactured H
U2
from aluminium alloy and comes in 600mm lengths
only, these are then cut/butted together to fit to the
overall length of the one piece shaft. t V

Shaft & Support Rail Fully Assembled Simply prefix the shaft reference with AU
Example – AU NIM 20 X L2000 T2

Drilled Shaft Only Simply state the shaft reference and add T1 or T2 depending
upon shaft hole centres required
Example – NIM 20 X L2000 T2

Support Rails Only Aluminium Support Rails supplied in 600mm lengths only.
Simply state whether T1 or T2 drilling is required
Example – Support Rail for 20mm Shaft T2
Hole Centre – SR20 – T2
