C-Beam Now Available

C-Beam is an exciting new addition to our V-Slot range of products. C-Beam fully incorporates the V-Slot on all sides, but has a C-Shape profile for added strength and function. There is many situations for which a C-Beam linear rail is advantageous, CNC machines, camera sliders and 3D printers are the obvious stand outs.

C-Beam linear rail is available in 250/500/1000mm standard lengths priced at £6.25/£12.50/£25.00. As expected, our excellent cutting service is also available, with the addition of a re-tapping service for the cut ends and compatibility with C-Beam end mounts..

Dedicated C-Beam end mounts for NEMA23 stepper motor driven, acme lead screw systems are available. As well as specifically designed gantry plates for C-Beam linear rail. As C-Beam and V-Slot work hand in hand, all V-Slot components and accessories are compatible.

C-Beam combined with its dedicated accessories, makes for a precise and compact linear actuator. To make this linear actuator build as easy for you as possible, we are also offering a linear actuator kit. This kit includes all the parts needed, plus an optional NEMA23 stepper motor, to build a lead screw driven linear actuator. Mark Carew at Openbuilds has made an excellent instruction video showing how to build this kit, this video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTzX6c8_8l4
