SK8 (8mm) SK Series Shaft Support for Precise Linear Motion

The SK8 Series shaft support, measuring 42mm in length, 14mm in width, and 32.8mm in height, is constructed from lightweight aluminium and provides robust and precise mounting for your 8mm linear shafts. Its compact yet rigid design is an excellent choice for a variety of applications throughout the UK & Ireland and beyond, streamlining the assembly process for design engineers.

SK 8 Key Features & Benefits:

• Compact Design: The small size of the SK8 support helps keep machine designs compact. This is particularly beneficial for 3D printers and smaller-scale automation systems where space is at a premium, ensuring your setup remains efficient and tidy.

• Inherently Rigid: This SK8 shaft support offers strong support and stability for your 8mm linear shaft. It is ideal for applications requiring precise positioning in delicate instruments or for maintaining accuracy in compact CNC machine builds.

• Lightweight Construction: Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the SK8 shaft support is remarkably lightweight. This contributes to a lower overall machine mass, which is advantageous for high-speed print heads and light-duty robotics where reduced inertia is desired.

• Easy Mounting: The intuitive axial tightening bolt on the SK8 support ensures a quick and secure fit with minimal effort, saving time during machine setup. This efficiency is important for prototyping environments and rapid assembly in small batch production.
