The UniSlide Model Numbering System

Model Letter		Specifies
M		Specifies a motor mounting plate and motor coupling.
B	MB End View	Specifies cross section type. B is the standard motor driven style. A is the low profile design.
25		Specifies the UniSlide Assemblies Series. The Series is defined by the base width and is measured in tenths of inches. The example unit is Series MB2500. See Parameters by Series, for the available choices.
12		Specifies the nominal length of the dovetail base (L). This is the base length available for slider travel and excludes the length that the internal limit switch assembly J occupies. Standard base lengths increase in 3" increments.
C		Designates the lead screw pitch and accuracy grade. In this example, C = 40 revolutions/in., in the Standard Grade.
J		Indicates Internal Limit Switch J is present. Consists of two adjustable limit switches, control rod with two collars and cover atop an additional 3" of dovetail base as shown. Outboard style limit switches may be ordered in place of, or in addition to, internal limit switches. See page 25.
S2.5		Defines the slider length (S), for either standard sliders or one of the optional lengths. Travel (T) + slider length (S) = required nominal length of dovetail base (L). For this example, S = 2.5" and L = 12" which yields a travel of 9.5". See the price list for the travel of UniSlide Assemblies with standard length sliders.

All other options or details of a UniSlide Assembly should be described verbally in the Description portion of the order. This includes the make and model number of the motor if it will be mounted separately.

Length summary

The length of the standard slider is always equal to the base width.
Travel length is the nominal base length minus the slider length.
Total length is the sum of the nominal base length plus 3" occupied by the Limit Switch Assembly, J, if present, plus the motor length, plus the length of the end bearing block plus the length of the lead screw shaft extension.
