DuraBond can build custom linear slides designed for specific applications where standard linear slides may not be commercially available. Most available linear slides provide linear motion based on bearings, whether they are ball bearings, dovetail bearings or linear roller bearings. Linear stages, machine slides and other advanced slides use linear motion bearings to provide movement along both X and Y multiple axis. However, only Durabond can enhance your custom manual positioning slide using our unique Rulon coated bearing surface feature, making your metal slides maintenance free, requiring no lubrication.

This "no lube" feature is ideal for harsh and dirty environments where our custom linear slides/linear motion bearings thrive such as in machine tool, special machine, powertrain, fixturing, workholding and general manufacturing use, rather than for optics or motorized use. Don't settle for a standard slide when a custom one is needed for the optimum in performance and durability.

Durabond Slide offers:

• Linear slides engineered and designed around standard models
• Our manual positioning slides are easily configured to your application
• Linear slide widths from 2” to 12”
• Base lengths from 4” to 32”
• Actuation includes Acme screw, hand feed, servo, pneumatic, and hydraulic
• Accessories include locks, stops, way covers
• Customer specified keyways and bolt patterns built to match existing patterns that you currently have.
• X-Y-Z Axis Configurations available

DuraBond linear slides are offered standard in six widths ranging from 2” to 12” and base lengths from 4” to 32” in a variety of combinations. DuraBond heavy duty plane bearing slides feature unique low profile, square gib, Rulon coated construction to provide high precision and rigidity with superior vibration dampening characteristics. These low profile machine slides allow the same functionality and arrangement options as high profile slides and can be used in applications where height limitations make normal profile slides impossible. These machine slides will provide years of exceptional performance with heavy loads and excel in harsh environments, a DuraBond specialty. DuraBond linear slides are made for use in applications including machine tool, special machinery, power train, fixturing, workholding and general manufacturing.

We also offer custom linear machine slides for all your machining needs.

Advantages of DuraBond Replacement Slides

• Low Maintenance
• Rulon bearing surfaces are resistant to contamination and require no lubrication thus eliminating the need to adjust, grind and refit slides
• High Rigidity
• Square gib slide slide design provides the highest rigidity and load carrying capacity available.
• Spring Quality
• Historically, process capability on diameter and free length improve by more than 50%.
• Reduced Setup Time
• High rigidity eliminates the need to adjust end cams after pitching the spring body
• High Performance
• Historically, process capability improves by more than 50%
• Long Life
• Our Rulon coating technology used for our slide bearing surfaces has been used in the field for over 15 years with great success.
• Warranty
• Replacement and manual linear slides are guaranteed for two years from the date of purchase. If the linear slide fails to meet expectations we’ll repair it, replace it or refund your original investment.
