Profile Rail Linear Motion Guides

Profile Rail Linear Motion Guides

Our Profile Rail Linear Motion Guides encompass an extensive range of linear bearings, catering to applications from precision miniature ball-based designs to robust heavy-duty roller-based versions. Engineered for excellence, these guides deliver whisper-quiet linear motion and unparalleled rigidity, making them ideal for even the most demanding applications.

Key Features

• Customizable for Harsh Environments: Enhance your application’s suitability with our standard options tailored for extreme conditions, including:
  • Clean Room: Specialized options for contamination-free environments.
  • Vacuum: Designed to perform in low-pressure settings.
  • High-Temperature: Capable of withstanding extreme heat without compromising performance.
  • Dust or Contamination: Sealed and protected to prevent ingress of dust and debris.
  • Weld Splatter: Resistant to weld splatter, ensuring longevity in manufacturing settings.
• Versatile Designs: From compact miniature ball guides to durable heavy-duty rollers, we offer a solution for every need.
• Low-Noise Operation: Ensures quiet and smooth movement, ideal for environments where noise reduction is crucial.
• High Rigidity: Provides exceptional stability and support, ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads.
• Direct Drop-In Replacements: Many of our general-purpose profile rail versions are designed to seamlessly replace competitive alternatives, simplifying upgrades and replacements.

Advanced Engineering

• Precision and Error-Absorbing Design: Our Linear Motion Guides use smooth-circulating rolling elements that support high load capacities with equal load distribution in four directions, offering high rigidity and excellent precision after assembly. The auto-adjusting capability enhances error absorption, improving overall accuracy.
• Enhanced Stability and Rigidity: By employing rolling elements like balls or rollers, our guides allow for preloading that increases rigidity and stability. This makes them ideal for applications requiring precise, stable movement over extended periods.
• Low Friction and High-Speed Performance: The guides maintain low frictional force and minimal wear, enabling long-term precision, low noise, and high-speed operation. The minimal difference between static and kinetic friction, along with reduced speed-induced friction fluctuations, ensures precise and smooth positioning.
• Simple Lubrication and Maintenance: Maintenance is straightforward with options for grease or oil lubrication, ensuring the guides remain in optimal condition with minimal effort.
• Compact Design: Solutions such as the S Series guides provide a slim, low profile solution for compact machinery. Miniature M Series and MB Series are small yet highly rigid and reliable guides, helping to reduce the total profile of equipment and machinery.

Built to Tackle Harsh & Extreme Applications

A Range of Designs to Meet Your Challenges

• H Series (as well as H…S and HB Series) use ball bearings in four row circular-arc raceway grooves of the rail and block.
• S Series (and S…S Series) use ball bearings in four row circular-arc raceway grooves of the rail and block, but with a slim, more compact profile than the H Series.
• M Series (and MB Series) use ball bearings in gothic-arch raceway grooves of the miniature rail and block. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction and miniature size are ideal for medical equipment, scientific and laboratory settings, and cleanrooms.
• HB Series and MB Series use wide rail designs and more ball bearings over the standard H and M Series blocks. This provides increased rigidity and sufficient moment capacity to run a single-axis system in narrow spaces.
• R Series uses cylindrical rollers in raceway grooves; the wider contact area compared to balls provides higher load capacity, rigidity, and overall life.
• All series share the following characteristics:
  • Internal bearing elements positioned at a 45° contact angle to reduce friction resistance, ensuring smooth motion and long life
  • 4-direction equal load type: can bear equal vertical, tensile, and horizontal loads
  • Preloaded bearing elements enhance rigidity and minimize deformation under external loads

Our Profile Rail Linear Motion Guides are not just components; they are solutions designed to optimize performance, reliability, and efficiency across a wide range of industrial applications.
