- Low Cost/ Low Maintenance
Round, hardened & precision ground shafting combined with recirculating, self-aligning linear pillow blocks provided a very reliable and predictable system with minimal user maintenance. All parts are replaceable at little cost unlike more complex systems that require major reconditioning at the factory.
- Complete System
SMI's stages are complete and ready to insall. Includes Pillow Blocks, Shafting and all necessary end supports.
- Low Friction
Coefficient of friction at .003 typical. Seals are included in all systems pillow blocks. If friction is a major concern, seals can be removed (Seals add approximately 28 grams of drag/seal). All pillow blocks are pre-loaded at the factory for a line-to-air fit (0 pre-load, 0 loose). Pre-load can be added if required.
