ACORN strengthens the supply chain on THK AP-C surface treated rails & carriages
Forward-thinking supplier, Acorn Industrial Services Ltd, is helping customers by becoming the first UK supplier of THK Linear products to stock their AP-C surface-treated rails and carriages, strengthening the supply chain by making them available to customers within just a few days of order.
Many linear motion guide applications require corrosion protection, including industrial washdown processes, machines in humid or salty environments, medical equipment, chemical processes, semiconductor manufacturing, and food and pharmaceutical packaging.
Given the requirement for corrosion resistance, many manufacturers and designers look to stainless steel products. But is that the optimum solution?
THK, the world's leading manufacturer of linear motion systems, offers a range of corrosion-resistant special surface treatments. Their industrial black chrome plating AP-C treatment not only provides superior corrosion protection compared to martensitic stainless steel, but also offers enhanced durability, longer service life, and reduced maintenance requirements for demanding applications.
THK rails and carriages with AP-C surface treatment are now held in stock at ACORN®, a leading authorised THK Supply Partner. Rails are cut to suit customers' requirements, and carriages are fitted to create linear-motion guide assemblies.
This means that THK AP-C surface-treated products can be delivered in a few days rather than weeks or months.
