BiSlide® Way Covers
Way Covers protect the slider and dovetail base from dust, dirt and grit that could hamper the efficient operation of the slide, thereby extending the life of the slide.
The covers consist of a flexible bellows and adapter plates. Available on most BiSlide® assemblies up to a length of 60 inches. XY configurations are possible with no extra modifications
Please reach out to an Application Engineer about the use and limitations of Way Covers.
Please note: the covers reduce the amount of contamination that reaches the slide, but do not eliminate it entirely.
