Parker 4501 Ball Bearing Slide Table 40 Lb 1 Inch Travel

Product Description

The PARKER 4501 is a single-axis ball bearing slide table designed for precision linear positioning in light industrial and automation applications. Rated at 40 pounds load capacity with 1 inch of travel, it provides smooth, repeatable motion through a recirculating ball bearing carriage. The table measures 2.62 inches long by 2.62 inches wide by 1 inch high and mounts via 12 mounting holes sized at 10-32 thread. It is installed by mechanical technicians, automation integrators, and machine builders who require a compact, rigid linear stage in confined spaces.

This slide table suits single-axis linear motion setups in light manufacturing, laboratory automation, and precision machine tool applications. Its compact footprint makes it appropriate for integration into multi-axis gantry assemblies or standalone positioning fixtures. The 10-32 mounting hole pattern with center-to-center spacing of 1 inch gives installers flexibility in fixturing and base plate design. It is well-suited for applications where consistent low-friction motion and repeatable positioning are required under moderate loads.

Key Features

• 40-pound load capacity for light to moderate duty positioning tasks
• 1 inch of linear travel with smooth ball bearing carriage action
• Single-axis configuration simplifies integration into existing assemblies
• 12 mounting holes at 10-32 thread with 1-inch center-to-center spacing
• Compact 2.62 x 2.62 x 1 inch envelope fits space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style linear positioning component suitable for single-axis slide table applications requiring a 10-32 mount hole pattern and 1 inch of travel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or automation integrators using standard hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and clean before fastening to avoid binding or misalignment in the slide carriage. Torque all 10-32 fasteners evenly to prevent frame distortion. Do not exceed the rated 40-pound load capacity, as overloading will reduce bearing life and positioning accuracy.
