Utility Slide ATG

To meet the needs of the logistics and railway industries, the Utility Slide ATG combines the benefits of conventionalslide rails with the technology THK cultivated with the LM Guide in order to improve the permissible load and extend the service life.

The Model ATG distinguishes itself from conventional slide rails by heat treating the outer and inner members to increase surface hardness and strength. The result is a high load capacity, high durability, and improved permissible load and service life compared to conventional products.

The circular arc grooves make the Model ATG excel at adjusting to slight inaccuracies in the mounting surface during installation.

Since the Model ATG features circular arc grooves, it experiences less differential slippage than conventional (Gothic arch groove) products, which helps keep balls from becoming misaligned and causing the product to lock at the stroke end. This helps improve the stability of machine operations.

• 1. The permissible loads are the values for one set of two slide rails. They are calculated from the permissible surface pressure based on a load centered between the inner members.
• 2. When assembled, the balls are adjusted to aim for zero clearance and to keep the sliding resistance at or below the upper limit.
• 3. Contact THK if the product will be used in an environment outside of the specified temperature range.
