The R&I DURA-SLIDE II Air Slide AIR-20-5 is a pneumatic linear positioning device designed to offer a practical and cost-effective solution for automatic work positioning. Its built-in air cylinder simplifies slide operation, eliminating the need for complex and expensive activating mechanisms. The compact design requires minimal installation space, making it suitable for various applications. Quality Construction The AIR-20-5 maintains rod bores parallel to the mounting surface within 0.002 inches per foot, ensuring precise alignment. It features four oil-impregnated bronze bushings that eliminate the need for re-lubrication. These bushings distribute the load over a larger surface area, resulting in reduced wear on the slide rods. Both rods are securely pinned to the end blocks to ensure positive location. Nylon bumper pads at each end of the stroke contribute to a low noise level, minimizing the clatter inherent in fast-acting slide devices. The center main body houses the air cylinder and is offset from the end blocks in two planes, allowing the end blocks to be mounted on the same plane surface without risers. Mounting Styles The DURA-SLIDE AIR-20-5 can be mounted in any plane, provided both end blocks are set on machined surfaces to prevent distortion. Either the main body or the end blocks can function as the fixed supports. Multiple mounting holes in all sections provide versatility, enabling configurations such as cross-yoke or pick-and-place units by joining two center body sections at right angles. Using slides with different stroke dimensions adds to the adaptability for cross-yoke applications. Features Tapped holes in the center main body and end blocks for flexible mounting options. Available in various stroke lengths to suit specific application requirements. Specifications Rod Material: Case-hardened ground steel rods. Block Material: 2024 anodized aluminum (black).
