Telescopic Slideway Profiles
U shaped sections for cursors and slideways with or without ball bearing housings
What Telescopic Slideway Profiles Is and Who It Is For
Telescopic slideways use U shaped profiles and cursor sections, supplied with or without the housing for ball bearings, in carbon steels and CrMo alloys. Depending on the end use these profiles are tempered and adjusted by the customer, or used in the condition in which they are supplied.
Key Benefits
- Bearing housing formed into the section instead of machined in later
- U sections nest without hand fitting when drawn from the same die
- CrMo grades available where the slideway carries real load
- Supplied ready to temper in your own furnace or ready to fit

How It Compares
Compared with a folded strip slideway, a drawn U profile keeps its clearance along the whole length and does not rely on secondary straightening.
Use Guide
- Send both sections of the pair with the nesting clearance stated
- Say whether you will temper the sections yourself
- Confirm whether the bearing housing is needed
