Technology of Linear guiderollers
• Quiet
– Linear guide rollers are very quiet as a result of the ball separation.
– Noise is magnified in recirculating guide systems when each ball
collides with the one next to it in the ball path.

• Smooth
– Linear guide rollers are based on the design of radial ball bearings.
– The load carrying balls travel in a circular path and are retained and
separated from one another.
– Current ball bushing and ball rail linear systems have a recirculation
path that requires the balls to make a quick change in direction.
– Vibration occurs when the balls collide entering and leaving the load
zone.
• Fast
– Recirculation guides are limited by the sharp turn the balls must make as they
enter and leave the load zone.
– Guide rollers are only limited by the rotary speed of the radial bearing.
– Maximum guide roller speeds are up to 2X faster than ball bushings or ball rails.

• Rugged
– The radial bearings on Linear guide rollers are offered with shields or rubber
seals.
– The seal is superior to the wipers common in reciruclating ball guides.
– Debris caught between the wheels and track is wiped away naturally.
– Ball bushings and ball rails use the shaft or tail as the inner race of the bearing
making them susceptible to contamination failure.
– 440C stainless steel rollers and track are also available for corrosive
environments.

• Economical
– Linear guide rollers are simple to design, install and maintain.
– In operation, the guide system is compliant and forgiving to mis-alignment and
machining inaccuracies.
– These features result in lower initial, installed and total cost.
