Abstract
A fluid actuated linear slide for producing linear movement has a rigid body with a pair of spaced apart parallel bores for slidably receiving a pair of guide rods and a mounting plate fixed to one end of the guide rods. A fluid actuated cylinder is carried by the body between and parallel to the guide rods and has a casing and a rod slidably received in and extending from one end. The rod is connected with the mounting plate for reciprocating the plate and the guide rods with respect to the body. The linear slide is constructed in such a manner that two or more of the slides can be attached in series for producing movement in one or more paths.
