Acorn Industrial Services Ltd is helping customers achieve their manufacturing and production deadlines by providing an alternitive corrosion resistant linear system option to customers.
By becoming the first UK supplier of THK Linear Motion Products to stock the AP-C surface-treated rails and carriages ACORN is able to supply the rails and carriages in a matter of days from the time of order.
Many linear motion guide applications require corrosion protection, including industrial washdown processes, machines in humid or salty environments, medical equipment, chemical processes, semiconductor manufacturing, and food and pharmaceutical packaging.
Given the requirement for corrosion resistance, many manufacturers and designers look to stainless steel products. But is that the optimum solution? THK, the world's leading manufacturer of linear motion systems, offers a range of corrosion-resistant special surface treatments. Their industrial black chrome plating AP-C treatment not only provides superior corrosion protection compared to martensitic stainless steel, but also offers enhanced durability, longer service life, and reduced maintenance requirements for demanding applications.
THK rails and carriages with AP-C surface treatment are now held in stock at ACORN®, a leading authorised THK Supply Partner. Rails are cut to suit customers' requirements, and carriages are fitted to create linear-motion guide assemblies.
THK AP-C surface-treated products can be delivered in a few days rather than weeks or months.
Interested customers can contact ACORN's Linear & Automation Division for further information or buy AP-C surface-treated products online at www.acorn-ind.co.uk
