We recognize and appreciate the confidence our customers have placed in our company and we work hard to earn it. Despite its modest price , the BLT63 will provide years of trouble-free service, especially if the simple maintenance is performed. All MTS BLTs use double ball bearings. The screws and bearings are dry lubricated with baked-on MoS 2 for low friction and long life.
All parts are field replaceable.
All translators are also available with long strokes, motor drives, linear encoders, tapped flanges and special heights. The linear bearings are self-lubricating, and the guide rods need only be kept clean and free from dirt, dust and debris. The jacking screw and bearing do, however, need periodic lubrication. As delivered, the screws and ball bearings are coated with baked-on molybdenum disulfide. This coating will degrade over time, due to moisture in the atmosphere.
