Curved guides, rings and segments provide accurate peripheral guidance in 360° or segmental motion, offering an effective alternative to slewing rings or turntables.
Perfect for rotary applications – Including cylinder or pipe inspections, scanning, or any application requiring precise, accurate peripheral guidance around a circular object.
An alternative to slewing rings – With less preparation, less installation time, and reduced maintenance, PRT2 is an excellent alternative to slewing rings.
Ease of driving – PRT2 has an integrated rack and pinion drive or timing belt, negating the need for additional drive components.
Efficient – Carriages with Hepco’s V bearings run smoother and need less driving forces than slewing bearings.
Any size – Ring size diameters available from 93mm to 1.8m as standard, larger and non-standard diameters can be custom-made to suit the needs of the application.
Made for any environment – Stainless steel curved guides are available as standard and can be complemented by vacuum or extreme temperature bearings. Benefitting from V guide technology, PRT2 operates well in harsh environments.
Movement through an arc can be achieved using curved segments – saving on two systems X and Y
Curved guides operate in any orientation
Zero play and definable preload thanks to adjustable eccentric bearings
V edges and integrated racks can be either internal, external or both
Bearings are lubricated for life internally and are available with metal shields for low friction running or with nitrile seals to inhibit the ingress of particles
