Guide rails

Plastic-coated sliding guides

• friction value 0.06 - 0.1 at an area pressure of 0.5 N/mm
• speed up to 15 m/min
• at high transverse forces or transverse accelerations, vibrations and impacts
• for high-frequency, extremely short strokes
• V-rail of tool steel, hardened and ground
• M-rail coated with sliding lining, not hardened

Cross-roller guide rails

• low friction coefficient (M = 0.003)
• speed of up to 50 m/min
• type R (roller guide) is used in large load and highest precision requirements
• type K (ball guide) is less dirt sensitive and suitable for easy movements and lower load requirements

Needle roller guide rails

• low friction coefficient (M = 0.003)
• speed up to 50 m/min
• highest precision and stiffness
• nearly wear-free due to the "roller friction"
• for very high loads
• sealing required for protection against dirt effects
