SK40 (40mm) SK Series Shaft Support for Extreme Load Applications

The SK40 Series shaft support, measuring 114mm in length, 36mm in width, and 96mm in height, and constructed from lightweight aluminium, provides robust and precise mounting for your 40mm linear shafts. Its compact yet inherently rigid design is an excellent choice for a variety of the most demanding industrial applications throughout the UK & Ireland and beyond, streamlining the assembly process for design engineers.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Compact Design: The optimised footprint of the SK40 support helps maintain a streamlined machine layout, even when integrating into the largest and most complex systems. This is particularly beneficial for heavy-duty industrial automation and large-scale production machinery where maximising operational space while ensuring structural integrity is critical.

• Inherently Rigid: This SK40 shaft support offers unparalleled support and unwavering stability for your 40mm linear shaft. It is ideal for applications demanding maximum precision and exceptionally high load capacities in large format CNC machines or for providing robust support in heavy-duty material handling equipment like robotic transfer systems, ensuring consistent and reliable performance under the most significant stresses.

• Lightweight Construction: Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the SK40 shaft support is remarkably lightweight despite its formidable strength. This contributes to a lower overall machine mass, which is advantageous for very large gantry systems requiring maximum payload capacity and for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) transporting heavy components, where reducing inertia and improving energy efficiency are crucial design considerations.

• Easy Mounting: The intuitive axial tightening bolt on the SK40 support ensures a quick and secure fit with minimal effort, saving valuable time during machine setup. This efficiency is important for rapid deployment of bespoke industrial solutions and for complex machinery where swift maintenance and component replacement are essential to minimise operational downtime.
