Linear guides
Compass DHM projects also presents linear guides with recirculating balls in the linear movement section.
The linear guides consist of hardened and ground steel rails and recirculating ball bearings. They allow to have a very precise linear motion with low friction coefficients. The pads have an integrated greasing system that facilitates lubrication.
The balls are held in the slider even when it is extracted from the guide, but care must always be taken during the extraction and assembly phase.
The main advantages of linear guides are:
- High positioning accuracy
- Long life and high precision of movement
- Possibility of obtaining movement with a low driving force at high speed
- Constant load capacity in all directions
- Simple installation and maintenance
Linear guides are perfect for industrial applications where loads need to be supported both vertically and horizontally. Moreover, thanks to the 4 contact points they are equipped with, they guarantee precision and silent movement.
Examples of fields of application:
- Industrial machines
- Robotics
- 3d printing
Guides of various width and length are available, the carriages (or sliders) can be standard or lowered, with or without flange.
