Rollon has expanded its portfolio of linear motion components with a new telescopic rail designed to carry heavier loads and operate more smoothly, as the company continues to target demanding industrial applications.
The HGT-MG rail, unveiled on 17th November 2025, is an upgraded version of the existing HGT range. The Italy-based manufacturer said the product features a redesigned ball cage and a set of internal magnets that synchronise movement between the rail’s elements, reducing the force needed to extend it and improving overall durability.
Available in sizes 60 and 80, the rail uses magnets housed in the end blocks to align components during operation, helping to deliver quieter, more controlled motion. Rollon said the damped end stroke also cuts noise and mechanical stress, extending the service life of the system.
Andrea Tosi, Vice President Technology at Rollon, said the launch demonstrated the company’s focus on combining “heavy load capacity with optimised handling and smooth motion”, adding that the product responds to operational challenges faced in industrial environments.
The broader HGT line is built for heavy-duty applications in sectors such as construction equipment, machinery manufacturing, automotive systems, and rail vehicles. The fully extending rails incorporate a double T-shaped intermediate element and two sliders, and are supplied in zinc-electroplated steel compliant with REACH and RoHS requirements. Stainless-steel versions are also offered for harsher environments.
Rollon said the synchronised movement system introduced with the HGT-MG improves load stability and makes the rails easier to operate under high stress, while maintaining rigidity and low deflection in compact spaces. Alternative surface treatments are available for corrosive conditions.
Founded in 1975, Rollon is part of the US-listed Timken group’s Industrial Motion segment, following a series of acquisitions that expanded its product range to include actuators, ball screws, rotational units, and other linear components. The company’s systems are used across industrial automation, aerospace, medical equipment, and material-handling applications.
