Accuride, a world market leader in the design and production of sliding systems, including: for the furniture industry, industrial equipment, and many other applications, has expanded the range of guides for very heavy loads with a new item. As a long-term authorized distributor of Accuride products, we present a new range of guides designed for applications with very high load-bearing capacity.

We present to you DZ4180-080-035-U - a galvanized steel guide with full extension and load capacity up to 980kg!

Features:

• Load capacity up to 980 kg
• Feed 100%
• Maximum guide length: 2000 mm
• Profile and guide height: 80 mm
• Operating temperature range: -20°C ÷ +110°C.

How was it possible to maintain smooth movement of the guide while simultaneously loading it with a mass of up to 980 kg?

First, Accuride used a 10mm diameter stainless steel ball in the DZ4180-080-035-U guides, unlike other manufacturers that commonly use 8mm or smaller mild steel balls.

Secondly, an intermediate element in the form of an I-beam was used, increasing the load capacity of the guide to 980 kg. The stability of the structure is ensured by threaded mounting holes, and at the same time they facilitate the installation of guides in a given application, using the type of screws preferred by the customer.

So where can these guides be used?

The DZ4180-080-035-U guide was designed for use in mobile and stationary applications, ranging from industrial warehousing to automation and robotics. It is perfect for supporting and servicing components such as refrigeration units, filters or engines of trains or electric cars, as it allows unrestricted access to their rear parts for maintenance or cleaning.

They are perfect for unloading heavy loads in military and mining vehicles. They will help in the precise positioning of heavy elements picked up and moved by robots in smart factories.

What about unusual applications?

The 4180-080-035-U series of guides can be adapted to individual customer needs, thanks to a wide extension range and guide lengths up to 2000 mm. In addition to the standard material version of galvanized steel, it is possible to make guides from stainless steel. And an experienced team of engineers-advisors, in cooperation directly with the customer, will adapt the product to his needs.
