Following the expansion of linear motion systems provider Rollon’s HGT heavy-duty range, industrial equipment supplier BMG has introduced the new Rollon HGT-MG telescopic rail with synchronisation magnets for smoother, more controlled, higher-capacity extension.

Through its partnership with Rollon, BMG can supply and support advanced linear motion systems to meet growing demand in Africa for precision in industrial automation, ensuring sustainable production.

The company notes that the design of the HGT-MG incorporates a refined ball-cage geometry and internally mounted synchronisation magnets to improve operational efficiency and extend service life.

The series is designed to reduce the force required to open the rail, aligning its elements during extension to provide controlled, repeatable movement under load.

Moreover, the HGT design uses a robust double T-shaped intermediate element paired with two corresponding sliders to withstand challenging operating conditions.

Further, the addition of synchronisation magnets in the HGT-MG series provides enhanced smoothness, controllability and durability, without altering the established mounting footprint of the HGT range.

“Rollon’s HGT heavy-duty telescopic rail range ensures simplified motion, while improving fatigue resistance. The synchronisation magnets align and synchronise the elements during extension, which reduces operating effort and ensures higher load capacity,” BMG linear way and ball screw product specialist Leon Koekemoer explains.

Additionally, he points out that this new design helps extend service life because the system experiences less mechanical impact during repetitive cycles.

The HGT series is used extensively in construction and machinery applications, as well as in automotive and rail-vehicle systems.

Moreover, all the rails and sliders in the series have been manufactured in steel and finished with zinc electroplating and thick-film passivation to meet both Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals and Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements.

A stainless-steel version is also available for environments requiring additional corrosion resistance.

Included in BMG’s Rollon range are linear guides, telescopic rails, actuators and multi- axis systems, as well as ball screws and rotational units, all engineered to function reliably in heavy-duty industrial operations.

These robust components withstand high loads, continuous use and exposure to harsh environments, making them suitable for sectors such as automotive assembly, electronics manufacturing, packaging and materials handling, Koekemoer concludes.
