Progressive Components announces the expansion of its line of SRT slide retainers with the slide lock-style slide retainer. Slide retainers ensure proper movement of molds as well as prevent any interference with the ejection of the molded part.
Compatible with previous standards, the slide lock-style slide retainer’s roller design will not wear the bottom of slides, providing greaseless performance in medical and cosmetic applications.
Holding 25 to 50 lbs each and featuring color-coded springs to indicate force rating, Progressive’s slide lock-style slide retainers are offered in three sizes:
- SRTLK-25A with a green spring to hold 25 lbs.
- SRTLK-25B with a longer, blue spring to hold 25 lbs.
- SRTLK-50A with a red spring to hold 50 lbs.
Use optional cleats for retention on the slide or machine the V-groove for roller retention at the bottom of the slide.
