Progressive Components has introduced new gibs, center guides and wear strips to its Slide Component product line. Each side-action component features Progressive’s Z-Series black-nitride finish and particle-ring combination. The items are available as blanks, with pre-machined counterbores for screws, and they are designed to be cut to length for customization for each unique application.

For moldbuilders, off-the-shelf blanks can be ordered and modified in-house, or they can be delivered “Mold-Ready” from Progressive so that they’re cut-to-length with corner radii added to save shop labor and reduce lead times.

For the molder, the proprietary Z-Series treatment enables long-term operation and boosts durability, while providing new side-action options for greaseless applications.

Square gibs and center guides are available in six standard sizes, with wear strips available in eight standard, inch sizes, with a range of lengths from 6 to 13.5" long. CAD geometry is available from the company’s CADalog — a free parts library with downloads in multiple formats — including SolidWorks, NX, VISI, STEP, Parasolid, ACIS and IGES. Individual CAD files can be found at shop.procomps.com.
