Ring discs

Product Description

Curved guides, rings and segments provide accurate peripheral guidance in 360° or segmental motion, offering an effective alternative to slewing rings or turntables.

Perfect for rotary applications – Including cylinder or pipe inspections, scanning, or any application requiring precise, accurate peripheral guidance around a circular object.
An alternative to slewing rings – With less preparation, less installation time, and reduced maintenance, PRT2 is an excellent alternative to slewing rings.
Ease of driving – PRT2 has an integrated rack and pinion drive or timing belt, negating the need for additional drive components.
Efficient – Carriages with Hepco’s V bearings run smoother and need less driving forces than slewing bearings.
Any size – Ring size diameters available from 93mm to 1.8m as standard, larger and non-standard diameters can be custom-made to suit the needs of the application.
Made for any environment – Stainless steel curved guides are available as standard and can be complemented by vacuum or extreme temperature bearings. Benefitting from V guide technology, PRT2 operates well in harsh environments.

Additional Information:

• Movement through an arc can be achieved using curved segments – saving on two systems X and Y
• Curved guides operate in any orientation
• Zero play and definable preload thanks to adjustable eccentric bearings
• V edges and integrated racks can be either internal, external or both
• Bearings are lubricated for life internally and are available with metal shields for low friction running or with nitrile seals to inhibit the ingress of particles
• Additional equipment such as tooling, routing cabling or other services can be housed inside the system, saving valuable floor space
• Special food lubricants and high temperature greases are available
• For any size requirement, Hepco’s large diameter ring guides, segments and track systems can be manufactured to any diameter with no upper limit
