New Heavy Duty Rail from Chambrelan - The ST50

ST50 - New Heavy Duty Linear Rail From Chambrelan

With a ruck of new product developments already been launched from Chambrelan (the heavy duty slide and linear rail motion manufacturer) this year alone, it's a surprise to see yet another addition to their stainless steel heavy range of linear rail motion systems.

New linear rail ST50 comes with two carriers, the GS52 and GS54 which have a load capacity of 180kg and 240kg on the major axis respectively.

The carriers themselves run on a row of circulating steel ball bearings, which spread the load over the rail, making operational usage smooth and steady regardless of the load being pulled.  The carriers are made of a compound of stainless steel and high strength industrial plant.

Chambrelan's unique 'circulating' carrier

100% Extension managed to catch up with Tony Macis, Chambrelan's UK manager, earlier this week to find out what his thoughts on the ST50 stainless steel linear rail.

"It's a fantastic piece of rail designed for strength and durability," confirmed Tony.  "With Chambrelan's commitment to develop it's high strength stainless steel slides and linear rails, we're going to see more products aimed at bridging the gap between the heavy duty end and the medium light end of our range.  The ST50 linear rail will be a perfect add on aimed at the pharmaceutical and food production industries where contamination is a big issue.  Where plant and equipment need to be cleaned using industrial chemicals or abrasive cleaning detergents, this stainless steel rail will really come into it's own, as well as being ideal for high temperature applications."

With more and more products being released from the heavy duty slide manufacturer, expect to see a drive toward the more rugged high strength end of the market as demand for quality and strength grows.

Chambrelan - Get 'em While They're Hot....

Burger vans and road side catering vehicles are some of the more every day applications and lack engineering sex appeal, but nevertheless it shows how independent people are using Chambrelan heavy duty slides across every day applications.

In this instance, Peter was having problems with his generator.  Since it was hard fixed to the vehicle wriggling it in and out by hand was time consuming and dangerous.  Originally he'd have to pull and wriggle the generator out by hand whenever there was a problem.  This is an easy enough job when there's two of you to do it, but Peter always found himself on his own when things went wrong and so he decided - in what we believe to be his infinite wisdom - to contact Chambrelan to see how their heavy duty slides could be used to help out.

Pete's van is a temple of culinary expertise and his customers come from far and wide to enjoy the best of british breakfasts, but the hot plates, refrigerators, ovens and tea makers all need power and when the source of that power goes wrong ease of access is of paramount importance.

Pete needed length and strength and subsequently with the help of the Chambrelan team he chose the RA5R - made from stainless steel section.  As one of Chambrelan's most tried and tested slides, this three beam nested slide has been designed to take incredible loads whilst delivering pay loads smoothly and securely.  Using a zinc plated finish this slide is incredibly durable and not only that, is easy to fit easy to maintain.

We caught up with Pete to find out how his experience was with Chambrelan - "I have to say," Peter confirmed, "i couldn't fault it.  Tony and the team were very helpful in identifying what i needed and i received the sides in a few days of ordering.  I'd definitely recommend Chambrelan to anyone who needs heavy duty slides or linear rail motion systems."  Peter Challis
