CHALLENGE
A manufacturer of camera sliders received complaints from
their customers that they couldn’t record sound due to the noise being
generated from the bearing and slide engagement on previous camera slider.
APPLICATION
In this application, the customer needed a linear parallel guidance
system supporting a camera mount and camera. The system required a very rigid
but quiet design to reduce vibration, noise and be able to handle a max weight
of 190 lbs.
SOLUTION
Bishop-Wisecarver’s custom UtiliTrak carriage and a hardened
steel raceway with a precision ground running surface of Ra 0.8 micrometers was
used in order to ensure smooth quiet operation.
