As a world leader in compact linear motion systems, Ametek Haydon Kerk Pittman (HKP), a business unit of Ametek, is pleased to announce its new EGS04 low-profile precision rail.

The EGS “efficient guided system” is ideally suited for customers in lab automation and electronic assembly whose applications require high speed and highly efficient point-to-point motion. Its stage base combines RGS-style screw supports and a ball bearing profile rail for a lower carriage ride (less than 16 mm), higher speed capability and more efficient, stiffer load support than competitor products.

In addition, the EGS provides a less complex and up to 50% smaller alternative to more traditional belt-and-gearbox designs. It offers the advantage of an easily integrated “bolt-in” design, which eliminates many facets of a multi-component design, such as the need for additional engineering, managing multiple vendors, and integrating a precision assembly.

Other benefits of the EGS include:
