No more 'cage-creep' in precision rail guides
SKF's new ACS precision rail guides offer consistent positioning of the cage, no need for cage resynchronisation and non-uniform preload, and the elimination of end-stops
Designed for economic linear bearing arrangements, with high precision, high load carrying capacity, and high stiffness, these arrangements require only a small amount of space and are suitable for many industrial applications.
Precision rail guides consist of two rails with intermediate rolling element assemblies.
As a rule two pairs of rails are preloaded against each other.
End pieces, with or without wipers, are used to prevent the rolling element assembly from leaving the loaded zone of the bearing.
The entire range offers a running accuracy 0.001-0.01 mm/m and operates at speeds of up to 0.01-1 m/s.
The range of modular, precision rail guides which SKF offers, includes the choice of cross roller, needle roller, ball bearing, large cross roller and PTFE slides.
As the range is designed around a standard rail width and height, there is a flexibility to interchange between types.
Rail guides are available in several designs and sizes, as well a variety of standard lengths.
Customised solutions are available on request. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
