High Positioning Accuracy
When a load is driven by a linear guide, the friction that exists between the load and the bench is the friction produced by the balls or rollers. The friction coefficient is only 1/50 of the friction coefficient of traditional guidance systems, and the difference between the friction coefficients of dynamic and static loads is very small. Therefore, there would be no slippage of the load while the load is in motion
.
Long Life with High-Precision Movement
With a traditional linear carriage, precision errors are caused by the countercurrent flow generated by the lubricant film. On the other hand, insufficient lubrication causes wear and tear on such surfaces. All of this makes them increasingly vague. In contrast, rolling elements such as balls and rollers have little wear and tear and guarantee high travel accuracy with a long lifespan and smooth movement
.
It's Possible to Achieve High Speed with Low Power
This is possible because linear guides have a low coefficient of friction, and therefore need little power to move a load. This results in significant energy savings, especially in the mobile parts of the application.
Same Load Capacity in All Directions
With this special design, linear guides can withstand loads in a vertical or horizontal direction. Conventional linear trolleys only withstand small loads and in the direction parallel to the contact surface. Traditional systems are inadequate to withstand loads in different directions
.
Easy Assembly
Assembling the linear guides is really easy. By grinding the bench, following the recommended procedure for its installation and adjusting the screws with the indicated tightening torque, a highly precise linear movement can be achieved
.
Easy Lubrication
In traditional guidance systems, insufficient lubrication causes wear on contact surfaces. It is difficult, in these systems, to provide sufficient lubrication to the contact surfaces because it is not easy to find an appropriate lubrication point. With linear ball or roller recirculation guides, grease is very easily supplied through the lubricator that is incorporated in the skate
.
Interchangeability
Compared to traditional V-shaped trolley systems, linear guides can be changed very easily. If you need a very high accuracy class.
