In the vast and boundless universe, the International Space Station is like an outpost for human space exploration, carrying numerous important scientific research tasks and missions. Within the complex equipment system of the space station, high-performance linear guides quietly play a pivotal role and are indispensable for the normal operation of some key equipment.

Linear Guideways enable precise operation

1. The robotic arm of the International Space Station can perform fine operations in space and assist astronauts in tasks such as equipment installation, maintenance, and extravehicular experiments. Each joint and extension part of the robotic arm relies on a Linear Guide to achieve precise movement and positioning. With the stable guidance of a linear guideway, the robotic arm can accurately grasp target objects, with the error controlled within a very small range. This is crucial for operations in the zero-gravity and complex space environment. For example, when replacing faulty equipment outside the space station, it helps the robotic arm to accurately dock and remove damaged parts, complete the installation of new equipment, and maintain the normal operation of the space station's functions.

2. High-accuracy linear rails also play a very important role in the experimental module moving device. The experimental module needs to move and adjust its position inside the space station according to different experimental requirements, and high-rigidity linear guide rails provide it with a smooth and precise moving path. For example, in materials science experiments, linear motion guides ensure that the experimental module accurately docks beside specific observation equipment to obtain accurate experimental data.

Extreme conditions in the space environment pose great challenges to linear guides
?
The intense cosmic ray radiation in the space environment can affect the molecular structure of materials, thus changing their properties. This can cause phenomena such as embrittlement and spalling on the surface of accuracy linear guide sets, thereby affecting their normal operation. At the same time, in a high-vacuum state, the heat generated during the operation of precise linear guides is difficult to dissipate, which easily leads to local overheating and affects their accuracy and service life. In addition, during the operation of the space station around the Earth, it will experience drastic temperature changes, with a temperature difference of up to several hundred degrees. This thermal expansion and contraction effect can cause the materials of linear guides to deform, seriously threatening their dimensional accuracy and stability.
