A linear guide rail, also known as a linear slide rail, is a track that guides components along a straight line. It consists of a fixed rail and a moving carriage, with linear bearings that reduce friction and ensure smooth motion. The size and configuration of the rail depends on the load it needs to carry and its specific application, which commonly includes doors, machine guarding and seating.
Linear guides are categorised based on their underlying motion mechanism. Here's a brief overview of the two main types: ** Guides with Plain Motion**
Plain bearings are the simplest type of linear guides, with their straightforward construction and easy installation process. There are several types, including boxway and dovetail, both of which can carry high loads.
Rolling linear guides incorporate balls or rollers between two bearing surfaces. They can be recirculating or non-recirculating. Recirculating designs have ongoing motion along the rail and so can continue to roll for an infinite distance, while non-recirculating designs are limited by the length of the bearing.
Linear rails come in various forms to suit different applications and load requirements, such as:
Linear guide rails are essential components in a wide range of industrial applications, including:
To choose the right linear guide rails, consider factors such as load capacity, accuracy requirements and travel distance. Since linear bearings and rails come in various types, you'll also need to select the appropriate rail profile and bearing mechanism to suit your operating environment and specific application needs.
At RS Hong Kong, we understand the importance of reliable linear motion components for your projects. That's why we offer a wide selection of dependable linear guide rails to meet diverse application requirements.**
