Marine Telescopic Slides & Linear Rails
Corrosion-resistant linear motion solutions for marine and offshore environments—engineered for reliability, smooth operation and long service life in harsh conditions.
FEDS supplies telescopic slides and linear rails for marine applications where resistance to humidity,
salt exposure and continuous use is essential. Our solutions are used in commercial vessels, workboats,
offshore equipment and onboard technical systems.
Where These Solutions Are Used
- Onboard technical cabinets and service compartments
- Navigation, control and communication equipment access
- Engine room drawers and maintenance modules
- Storage systems on commercial and service vessels
- Offshore platforms and marine service equipment
Recommended Motion Solutions
Telescopic Slides
Telescopic slides are ideal for marine applications requiring stable support,
controlled extension and reliable access to equipment.
Designed to withstand humidity and corrosive environments, they are commonly used in storage drawers,
service panels and maintenance compartments.
Linear Rails
Linear rails are used where precise guided motion and alignment are required,
such as control mechanisms, inspection systems and onboard automation.
They provide smooth and repeatable linear movement even in demanding marine conditions.
Key Selection Parameters
- Corrosion resistance: suitability for marine and saltwater environments
- Load capacity: static and dynamic loads
- Extension / travel: required access depth
- Duty cycle: frequency of operation and maintenance access
- Environment: humidity, temperature fluctuations and vibration
