Key Performance Parameters
- Contact Structure: Two‑row, four‑point contact (45°) steel balls, supports radial, reverse‑radial, lateral loads in all directions
- Preload: Factory‑set standard preload
- Operating Temperature: -10°C to +100°C (continuous operation up to 100°C)
- Maximum Speed: ≤ 30 m/min
- Material: All steel parts = Stainless steel (SUJ2/SUS440C) for high corrosion resistance
- Sealing: No built‑in dust seals; external protective cover recommended for non‑clean environments
- Lubrication: No pre‑packed grease; apply lithium‑soap base grease directly to raceways before use
- Accuracy: High precision, simultaneous grinding of two‑row raceways for minimal error
Key Official Features
- Compact & Integrated Design: U‑shaped precision‑formed stainless steel integrates rail and mounting surface, lightweight and space‑saving for miniature precision equipment.
- High Rigidity & Multi‑Directional Load Capacity: Four‑point contact ball arrangement delivers stable rigidity and load performance under fluctuating/combined loads.
- Smooth & Quiet Motion: Precision‑ground raceways + ball retainer eliminate ball collision, ensure low‑friction, stick‑slip‑free, quiet linear movement with high micro‑feed positioning accuracy.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Full stainless‑steel construction, ideal for cleanroom, semiconductor, medical and anti‑rust‑required applications.
- High Safety: Non‑combustible/self‑extinguishing resin components, suitable for OA/household equipment requiring flame resistance.
Typical Applications
Semiconductor manufacturing/inspection equipment, precision measuring instruments, medical devices, cleanroom automation, optical equipment, miniature positioning stages, and high‑precision limited‑stroke linear motion systems.
