GF-N LS profile with S slot: rail for linear slide and slot for panels
The LS profile with an additional S slot: the linear slide runs on the rail and you fix parts and panels in the slot. It is taller and stiffer than the LS, with a moment of inertia of 6.6 × 10⁴ mm⁴ on the strong axis. The in-line anti-return device also mounts on the profile, for mechanisms that must move in one direction only.
Why choose it
Slide and slot together
The linear slide runs on the rail, the S slot stays free for parts and panels.
Panels on the profile
You fix panels and guards directly on the profile, without extra brackets.
Stiffer
6.6 × 10⁴ mm⁴ on the strong axis: more than five times the standard tube.
In-line anti-return
The 300 N in-line anti-return device mounts on the profile, for one-way movements.
Choose it if…
- On the moving part you need to fix panels or parts.
- You need a linear slide profile stiffer than the LS.
- The mechanism must move in one direction only, with anti-return.
Choose another solution if…
- You do not need to fix anything on the profile, the slide is enough: GF-N LS profile →
- You need a rail for carriages on linear rollers: GF-N linear guide profile →
- You want a T-nut slot on a Ø 28 tube: GF-N profile with C10 slot →

Application example
The LS with S slot is used where the moving part carries panels or accessories:
- Sliding doors and panels on guards and workstations
- Sliding tables with accessories fixed on the profile
- Karakuri mechanisms with in-line anti-return
What you complete it with
In-line anti-return
Lets the part move forward and prevents it going back, capacity 300 N.

We choose the linear slide and slot fixings with you based on load and stroke.
How you use it
Slide, slot and anti-return:
Fit the slide
The linear slide runs on the rail along the full length of the profile; each slide carries 50 N.
Fix parts and panels
In the S slot you fix panels, brackets and parts, even with the slide already fitted.
Block the return
With the in-line anti-return device the part moves forward and does not come back: typical of karakuri mechanisms.
Tell us the stroke, load and what has to be fixed on the profile: we will propose slide, fixings and components.
The LeanProducts service
From drawing to finished structure, with a single point of contact:
Design and load calculation
We start from your sketch or dimensions: we choose profiles and connectors and check spans, joints and loads.
Cut to length
We cut the profiles in our workshop to the lengths in the design, ready to assemble.
Kit or assembled structure
You receive the kit with the cut parts and the list of components, or the structure already assembled.
Spare parts and modifications
When the process changes we supply components and new cuts to modify or extend the structure.
Send us a sketch, a photo or the overall dimensions: we will reply with codes, quantities and cut lengths.
