Precision linear guides now available from stock

The Schneeberger Minirail series is a family of robust, two-row miniature guideways made from stainless steel, ideal for compact environments.

The Schneeberger Minirail series is a family of robust, two-row miniature guideways made from stainless steel, ideal for compact environments.

An advanced ball-retainer design simplifies installation and maintenance, reducing total cost of implementation and increasing application versatility.

Typical applications can be found in the microelectronics, semiconductor, metrology, automation, medical/pharmaceutical, life sciences and other industries.

Available in four standard sizes: 7, 9, 12, and 15, Schneeberger also offers four additional sizes of: 14, 18, 24, and 42 in its Wide Minirail version.

Two accuracy grades, two preload categories and rail lengths up to 980mm are available.

Schneeberger Minirails are capable of speeds of 5m/s and accelerations of 300m/s2.

Typical operating temperatures are -40 to +80C.

Short-term temperatures up to 120C are permissible.

Unlike many conventional miniature guides, the Minirail carriage can safely be removed from its guide without balls falling out and is also interchangeable.

This makes handling and installation fast and easy.

The large number of load-bearing balls provide the carriages with high permissible load values and torque.

Each carriage includes wipers on each end to prevent contamination and help retain lubricant inside the carriage.

Schneeberger offers its own relubrication set as well.

Two lubrication ports are located at each end of the carriage for easy lubrication.

The Monorail BM offers outstanding running characteristics such as: low pulsation, low friction values and high travelling speeds.

Consisting of a few optimally designed components, the Monorail BM achieves high rigidity due to the trapezoid-shaped rail cross section and also has excellent resistance to moment loads.

Due to the selected ball arrangement, this guideway has a high load bearing capacity equal in any direction.

The robust construction of the Monorail BM is evident by the fact that the balls are securely held in the tracks of the carriage at all times.

Therefore an assembly rail for installing or removing the carriage is not required.

Simultaneously, the maintenance effort required is significantly reduced because parts subject to wear can now be replaced without having to dismantle the guideway.

The complete sealing of the carriages guarantees high reliability in conjunction with a long service life.

Available in sizes 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 45, the Monorail BM comes in three preload categories, four accuracy grades and has single rail lengths of up to 6000mm.

Maximum speeds of 5m/s and accelerations of 100m/s2 can be achieved.

Typical operating temperatures are -40 to +80C.

Short-term temperatures up to 120C are allowed Customers can now order all sizes and travel lengths from the full line of both product series with next day delivery for Minirail and two-day delivery for Monorail BM.
