What is PBC Linear Frelon® material?
Frelon liners are made of PTFE (Teflon) materials and fillers designed to provide low wear, low friction, high strength, and self-lubrication
Can GST systems handle high loads when compared to linear ball bearing systems?
The Frelon bearing liners can handle 4 to 20 times the loads of a traditional linear ball bearing.
How often do the Uniguide and Mini Rail systems need to be lubricated?
The Uniguide and Mini rail Systems use PBC Linear Frelon bearing material and are self-lubricating. No outside lubrication is necessary.
How will the GST systems perform in dirty environments or environments with Heavy Particulates ?
Since the GST systems have no external lubricants to trap dirt of product aggregates, they excel in harsh environments
Are GST Systems suitable for washdown applications?
Yes, GST systems are suitable for washdown applications. The absence of external lubricants and ceramic coated rail material make the GST product highly suitable for washdown applications. The GST system will use the washdown fluid as an additional lubricant to further extend the operating life of the bearing.
Will GST systems handle shock loads better than a ball bearing?
Yes – Frelon bearings can absorb shock loads and dampen vibration.
Can GST systems tolerate extreme temperatures?
Yes, PBC Linear GST systems can handle extreme temperature being able to operate in a range from -400F to +400F.
How does the GST product line work with an overhung load?
The GST uses a sliding plain bearing and will work best when the overhung load is kept with in the 2:1 ratio.
Is it difficult to assemble a GST carriage and rail system?
The Uniguide systems are easy to assemble as they are a simple 2 piece assembly. There is no need to align the bearing carriage on the rails as they will slide easily into place.
Can the GST products be used in short stroke applications?
Yes – since there are no moving parts or balls that require lubrication, the GST family will work exceptionally well in short stroke applications. Ball bearings tend to fail in short stroke applications as they require a longer stroke to lubricate themselves.
