Linear Guideway Introduction

Linear guide way can be divided into: Roller linear guide way, Cylindrical linear guide way, Ball linear guide way, is used to support and guide the moving parts, according to the given direction to do reciprocating linear movement. According to the nature of friction, linear motion guide way can be divided into Sliding friction guide way, Rolling friction guide way, Elastic friction guide way, Fluid friction guide way and other types.

Definition

Linear guide way, also known as linear rail, slide rail, linear guide rail, linear slide rail, used for linear reciprocating movement occasions, and can bear a certain torque, can achieve high precision linear movement under high load. 

Classification

Linear guide way is divided into Square ball linear guide way , Double spindle roller linear guide way, Single spindle linear guide way.

Function

Linear guide way movement is used to support and guide the moving parts, follow with the given direction of the reciprocating linear movement. According to the nature of friction, linear motion guide can be divided into Sliding friction guide, Rolling friction guide, Elastic friction guide, Fluid friction guide and other types.

Linear bearings are mainly used in automatic machinery, such as machine tools imported from Germany, bending machines, laser welding machines and so on. Of course, linear bearings and linear shafts are matched. For example, linear guide is mainly used in mechanical structures with high accuracy requirements. There is no intermediate medium between moving elements and fixed elements of linear guide, but rolling steel balls are used.

Application

Linear guide way is mainly used in automatic machinery more, like machine tools imported from Germany, bending machine, laser welding machine and so on, certainly, linear guide and linear bearing are matched and work together.

Linear guide way is mainly used in the mechanical equipment with high accuracy requirements. There is no intermediate medium between the moving element and the fixed element of linear guide way, but the rolling steel ball is used. Because the rolling steel ball is adapted to high-speed movement, small friction coefficient and high sensitivity, it can meet the working requirements of moving parts, such as tool rest and drag plate of machine tools. If the force acting on the steel ball is too large, the steel ball with stands the pre-loading time is too long, resulting in the increase of the movement resistance of the bracket.
