Linear Guideways

Continuing the decades-long tradition of high-quality, innovative and precise linear motion products, VXO linear guideways are available in a variety of sizes and styles with features that can be matched to your exact application requirements. VXO offers a variety of linear guide rail series, each with different sizes, load capacity, precision and more other option. The coefficient of friction on a linear guideway is only 1/50 compared to a traditional slide and they are able to take loads in all directions. With these features, a linear guideway can achieve high precision and greatly enhanced moving accuracy. We offer multiple linear guideway series, each featuring different options for sizes, loading capabilities, accuracies, and more.

 

Types of Linear Guideways

VXO linear guideway allows a type of linear motion that utilizes rolling elements such as balls or rollers. By using re-circulating rolling elements between the rail and the block, the load platform can easily move linearly with high precision along the slide rail. Compared to a traditional slide, the coefficient of friction for a linear guideway is only 1/50. With these features, linear guideways can greatly enhance moving accuracy, especially, when accompanied with precise ball screws.

 

How Do You Select Linear Guideways?

When choosing a recirculating linear guide, there are several criteria that need to be specified, including size, preload and accuracy. And although the term “accuracy” is often used in a generic sense, when referring to recirculating ball or roller guides, it designates five characteristics:

 

Advantages Of Linear Guideways

Smooth and stable operation

 

Compact, lightweight and low price

 

High load capacity due to R-shaped groove

 

Four-point contact to carry load and moment in all directions

 

440 Series Stainless

 

Extra wide type available

 

Applications Of Linear Guideways

How to choose between the main types of linear technologies, and how to design automation systems that deliver optimal performance using design requirements, rather than cost, as the primary consideration in selecting linear components.
