RGS04

RGS04 Motorized Linear Rail
The Motorized RGS04 linear rail offers exceptional linear speed, accurate positioning, and long life in a compact, value-priced assembly. The Motorized RGS04 is available with either size 11 or size 17 hybrid stepper motors developing forces up to 67 N (15 lbs.). Size 17 stepper motors are also available with the integrated IDEA Drive. Rails can also be customized in stroke length, one or dual carriage and coatings. Contact an Applications Engineer for any technical support needed.

  • Lubrication +


    Kerk RGS Linear Guides have Kerkote® TFE on all critical surfaces.

    All moving surfaces include Kerkite® engineered polymers running on Kerkote® TFE coating, providing a strong, stable platform for a variety of linear motion applications.

    Kerkote TFE is a soft coating, a long-term dry lubricant that is optimized for softer plastics like acetyls and nylons, with or without mechanical reinforcement. Lubrication to the nut / lead screw interface occurs by the nut picking up Kerkote TFE particles from the coating as well as from the migration of the internal lubricant within the plastic nut. The lubricant, although solid, also has some “spreading” ability as in fluid lubricants. Kerkote TFE coated screws provide the maximum level of self-lubrication and should not be additionally lubricated or used in environments where oils or other lubricant contamination is possible.
