Advantages of linear guides
Precision and repeatability
Linear guides offer exceptional precision and repeatability in motion. By minimizing errors and deviations, you can ensure the highest possible quality in your products and processes.
Low friction
With linear guides, friction between moving parts is significantly reduced. This leads to lower energy consumption, extended component lifespan, and less wear.
Load capacity
Advanced linear guides provide impressive load-carrying capacity, making them suitable for handling various loads in demanding applications across multiple industries.
Types of linear guides
There are several types of linear guides, each designed for specific purposes and application needs:
Linear ball bushings and shafts
Using ball bushings och stålaxlar är en beprövad teknik som passar i allmänna maskiner, specialmaskiner, jiggar och specialapplikationer. Bosch Rexroths linjära kulbussningar och axlar kan sättas ihop till över 1 000 olika varianter för att möta användares krav och tillämpningar.
Ball rail guides
Ball rail guides are a type of rail guide that use recirculating balls to support motion along the rails. Known for their superior load capacity and smooth movement, they are ideal for precision-heavy applications.
Roller rail guides
Roller rail guidesare an advanced variant that use rollers instead of balls to reduce friction and enable smoother motion. These guides are especially suitable where low friction, high load capacity, and excellent precision are critical.
Miniature rail guides
Miniature rail guides are designed for small-scale applications where space is limited. Despite their compact size, they deliver strong performance and are perfect for delicate or compact systems.
Applications of linear guides
Linear guides are widely used across various industries and sectors. Some common examples include:
Machining equipment: Used to ensure accuracy during milling, turning, and other machining processes, helping maintain consistent quality in manufactured components.
Machine tools: Essential for smooth motion and high precision in a variety of machine tool applications.
Measuring equipment: Vital in measurement technology, where they help reduce vibrations and interference, leading to reliable and accurate results.
Medical technology: Linear guides are central in medical devices, enabling smooth movement in surgical robots, diagnostic equipment, and other medical systems.
Microelectronics: In microelectronics production, precision is key. Linear guides enable highly accurate positioning and motion, crucial for ensuring component functionality.
