Description
Engineered Aluminum Rail Series
Knight Global Engineered Aluminum Rail
Series: HAD3000 / HAD3500 / LRD9500
The Knight Global HAD3000 engineered rail uses a chambered rail design, extruded from lightweight high-strength aluminium alloy. The low rail weight shortens installation time and reduces the load imposed on the roof structure. The HAD3000 can also double as a compressed air or non-corrosive fluid distribution system, acting as a manifold that delivers a higher CFM than conventional black pipe.
The HAD3500 range suits light duty applications: welding guns, work benches, work stations, festooning and lighting. Combined with nylon trolley wheels, the rail delivers the lowest rolling resistance in the industry.
The LRD9500 Engineered Linear Rail is designed for post-mounted or floor-mounted applications that need low-friction horizontal travel. It carries both direct and offset loads, and is a lower-maintenance alternative to traditional hard rail and bearing blocks – commonly specified with a pneumatic arm mounted on the carriage.
The RAD4700 and RAD6500 Engineered Round Rail series handle low-friction vertical and horizontal linear motion, and are rated for direct loading, offset loading and high torque applications. Round rail is a more ergonomic design than conventional linear motion products.
