Large mounting surface

Ideally suited to engineers looking to mount a large object or work piece, this animation showcases how the GV3 carriage plate provides a large mounting surface and is very well suited to carrying physically bigger objects. It is interesting to visually see the physical size of the GV3 carriage plate alongside a ball rail and block. When a large fixture is fitted to the ballrail block, it looks oversized and overhangs, whereas the same size fixture then transferred onto the GV3 carriage plate fits well and looks right.

The animation also highlights that the ballrail system requires an additional rail set in parallel, 3 additional blocks and a bespoke top plate to create an equivalent mounting surface to the GV3. Machining is required to prepare the mounting surfaces, as well as the additional cost of the extra components. Under these circumstances, 4 x GV3 bearings are equivalent to 4 x ballrail blocks. Larger GV3 carriages are also available on request for even great flexibility.
