DuraBond Linear Slide

Automated Industrial Motion first developed our unique square gib, coated linear slide technology for the spring coiling industry where equipment can be subjected to extreme environments. In most coiling applications very short, high speed repetitive tool moves are required to produce high volume precision springs. Common linear slide technologies such as bronze dovetail slides and roller bearing slides were not ideal for the harsh operating conditions. Bronze dovetail slides wore out quickly and did not provide sufficient rigidity to achieve demanding tolerances. In the case of roller bearings, small tool moves did not facilitate adequate bearing recirculation causing linear slides to fail prematurely.

With this success our team was eager to develop product offerings for other manufacturing applications and our commercially available line of metal DuraBond linear slides was born. Today, standard linear slide widths from 2” to 12” and base lengths from 4” to 32” are available in a variety of combinations. All models can be downloaded directly to your product design in 2D configurations and 3D models. Primary design advantages include low profile, high rigidity, maintenance free, long lasting linear slide performance. Our Rulon coated bearing surfaces are the principle design feature making the metal slides maintenance free with no lubrication. Bearing and mounting surfaces are precision machined and ground using the latest CAD/CAM manufacturing technologies.

Automated Industrial Motion is a privately owned leader in the design and manufacture of linear slides, spring coiling and wire forming machinery and automation solutions for industry. Our new 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in beautiful Western, Michigan. Our talented staff of engineers, designers and toolmakers is committed to providing the highest quality products, on time at a reasonable cost.
