LoPro®
Overview
LoPro is an actuated linear motion system based upon proven DualVee guide wheel technology for smooth and quiet motion over long lengths. Actuation options include AT series belt, ANSI roller chain, lead screw, and ball screw. LoPro is also available in a non-actuated version. LoPro provides a tough, cost effective, low friction, low profile modular solution, built to withstand a wide range of operating environments. Complete systems include your preference of wiper or basic wheel plates, and may be mounted or un-mounted. Support beams are available in aluminum or steel to meet application demands and to provide ease of installation.
A wide variety of gantry brackets are available to form complete LoPro gantry systems.

Belt Driven Actuator Options 
LoPro belt drives are ideal for long lengths and high speeds. Belt drives feature AT style reinforced polyurethane belting. Belt drive systems may be mounted to either steel or aluminum support beams, and come with your choice of wiper wheel plate or basic wheel plate. Corrosion resistant versions are available, as are multiple wheel plates.
Chain Driven Actuator Options 
Chain drives are available with standard and corrosion resistant ANSI roller chain. The chain driven LoPro is ideal for vertical hoisting and large load actuation over long lengths. Aluminum and steel support beams may be used to mount the chain drive. Other options include basic and wiper wheel plates, with or without multiple wheel plates.
Lead Screw Actuator Options 
LoPro lead screws feature either BY or NTBY nut types to meet your backlash needs. Metric and inch leads are also available in lead accuracies to 0.0006 in/in (mm/mm). Lead screw systems may be selected with steel or aluminum support beams and with preference of basic or wiper wheel plates.
Ball Screw Actuator Options
Metric ball screw driven LoPro ball screw actuator systems are accurate to 0.004 in/ft (0.1 mm /300mm). Ball screws are available in standard and corrosion resistant forms to meet environmental constraints. Basic or wiper wheel plates may be selected, as well as steel or aluminum support beams.
Un-Driven LoPro Systems
LoPro is also available as a complete non-actuated system, ready for immediate installation. As with all driven systems, un-driven LoPro systems are available with your choice of basic or wiper wheel plates, and steel or aluminum support beams.
Wheel Plate Options 
There are two choices for wheel plate assemblies - wiper wheel plates and basic wheel plates. Wiper wheel plates are available with your choice of DualVee guide wheels and provide the lowest height solution. Basic wheel plates are the more economical choice and come with Integral DualVee wheels and your choice of either lubricators or wheel covers. Both the wiper wheel plate and the basic wheel plate are intended to run on track plate assemblies.
Support Beam Options 
Support beams are available in extruded aluminum or steel beam. The extruded aluminum beam comes with T slots for quick and easy mounting of brackets and other aluminum framing members. Steel support beams are made to ASTM A500 Grade A standards and provide a high modulus, making them a rigid mounting option.
Motor Mount Options 
Our new line of motor mounts is designed to fit any manufacturer's motor or gearbox. Each motor mount is supplied as a kit, complete with shaft coupling and mounting hardware. Standard or custom mounting solutions can be provided within five days.
Track Plate Assemblies 
Track plate assemblies combine your choice of single edge DualVee track with an easy to mount aluminum base. The aluminum base is made from high precision anodized aluminum alloy. Track plate assemblies are easily butt-jointed to provide infinite lengths.
Gantry Brackets
A wide variety of gantry brackets are available to form complete LoPro gantry systems. The gantry bracket allows numerous gantry configurations to be built by offering flexibility in the types of LoPro systems that can be assembled together and in the relative positions and orientations of the stages to each other in the assembly. Procedures for creating the most common stage configurations for gantry systems can be found in the LoPro Gantry System Assembly Manual.
Custom Options
From completely custom systems to adding mounting holes, our application engineers are ready to assist you with any customization needs.
