The basic material for many Schock telescopic slide applications is sendzimir zinc-plated steel. Its cathodic edge protection provides the optimum balance between quality and cost-effectiveness. The zinc electroplated and bright or black chromated slides achieve a high-quality visual effect. At the same time, this surface provides improved corrosion protection. An alternative is epoxy-coated slides. The coating process developed by Schock preserves the slides, guaranteeing good running properties. For more complex requirements, Schock supplies ball-bearing slides in stainless steel. Optimum corrosion protection in wet conditions and extreme temperatures is guaranteed.

The system installation mode is another important characteristic: Schock offers a wide range of standard incrementations, lancings, brackets, tabs and bolts. For special requirements, our engineers can quickly develop a new, optimum solution.

:: High-end engineering for industry.

Precision at its highest level.

Schock develops tailored solutions for complex special requirements. The "Multiload-System" used in the Audi A6 is based on Schock telescopic slides. The platform has a capacity of 120 kg and can easily be modified to a bike carrier. Stringent tests under extreme conditions support the claim that all safety and longevity requirements are met.

:: Functional safety under extreme conditions.

Special developments stand up to high loading.

With the power electronic module for the auxiliaries of the ICT, a Schock full extension slide takes heavy loads. It functions powerfully and reliably, even under forces of more than 1000 N.

Loads caused by vibrations over extremely long time periods do not affect its performance. The telescopic slides are zinc electroplated and are therefore weather resistant.

:: Heat, cold, wet. 100,000 cycles – without maintenance.

In the domestic appliance industry, Schock meets special requirements.

Stainless steel slides for ovens function reliably, even at extremely high temperatures. In addition to production techniques, the correct choice of material and the use of suitable heat-resistant lubricants are also important.

In the case of refrigerators and freezers, the effects of humidity and low temperatures must be taken into consideration. Epoxy-coated telescopic slides offer safe, long-term corrosion protection. A coating process developed by Schock guarantees a constantly high surface quality and also maximum running efficiency on the ball bearings.

The additional effects of moisture have no consequence.

The laboratory and kitchen systems are based on modules which are able to cope with humidity and temperature fluctuations. Ball-bearing slides must continue to function reliably even with regular cleaning using steam jets. This is guaranteed by the Schock stainless-steel telescopic slides.

Reliable, maintenance-free functioning over many years is the aim of all customer-specific developments. Schock, with its versatile product range and innovative engineering, has achieved this in many industries and applications.

:: Professional requirements. Professional solutions.

Special requirements demand special developments.

Project partners profit from the extensive experience that Schock has gained from developing special solutions with exacting requirements. Schock engineers are experts in many sectors: storage and factory equipment, copiers and vending machines, dental and laboratory equipment, vehicle construction or aerospace engineering - Schock telescopic slides work reliably anywhere.

:: A new product from your target book.

Think of a task – we'll find the solution.

Successful projects support the fact that the earlier Schock engineers are involved in the concept, the more efficient the joint program will run. The best tailored solutions are found by working closely together.
For optimum results, the telescopic and linear motion technology must be perfectly matched to the definitive requirements of the application. Working closely with the customer, all functional characteristics to be considered are checked, i.e. load capacity, mounting possibilities, slide travel and the required number of cycles per unit. Economical assembly of the complete guide unit for further processing is also an important factor.

You profit from the company's quality assurance system.

The extremely low percentage of production faults, between 0-30 ppm is the result of a quality assurance system that Schock has developed in close co-operation with major industrial customers. The principles of the Total Quality Management System are implemented in production and also in all other divisions of the company. Being nominated a "Certified Supplier" by Xerox is true confirmation of success.

:: Advantages through superior technology.

Best running characteristics.

The roll-forming technique developed by Schock guarantees high-level precision in the production of slide profiles. The tolerances are more than 50% below those of comparable systems.

High durability.

The ball provides the system advantage: with each slide travel, it pushes any deposit from the track. In addition, lateral impacts are absorbed elastically which prevents deformation. This guarantees a long, maintenance-free service life.

Additional functions.

Schock industrial telescopic slides are equipped with special features, depending on the type of application.
Some typical examples are: stops, detents, positive locking, detachable inner slide.

System attachment.

Ball-bearing slides are complete modules which can be fitted quickly, often without using tools. A wide range of fixing components is available for optimum system installation.
