Linear Guideways are essential components in mechanical positioning systems that minimize friction in linear motion. Rolling linear slides feature steel balls that continuously roll between the slider and the rail, allowing the load platform to move smoothly and precisely along the rail. This design reduces the friction coefficient to just 1/50 of traditional sliding guides, enabling positioning accuracy in the micrometer range with ease. ?

High Positioning Accuracy and Excellent Reproducibility
The smooth rolling motion of Linear Guide features a very low friction coefficient, with minimal difference between static and dynamic friction. This prevents slipping even during micro-feeding, ensuring optimal resolution and reproducibility, which allows for positioning accuracy in the micrometer range. ?
Low Friction Resistance for Long-Term Accuracy
?
The rolling friction resistance of linear rails can be reduced to 1/20 to 1/40 of that of sliding guides. The simple lubrication structure allows for easy maintenance and effective lubrication, minimizing wear on the friction contact surfaces. This ensures long-term retention of positional accuracy.

High Load Capacity in Four Directions
The optimized geometric design can simultaneously handle radial, anti-radial, and lateral loads while maintaining travel precision. By applying preload and increasing the number of sliders, both rigidity and load capacity can be enhanced.

Suitable for High-Speed Applications
Its low frictional resistance reduces the need for drive power, resulting in significant energy savings. Low wear during operation also minimizes temperature rise, meeting the requirements of compact and high-speed machines.

Easy Assembly and Interchangeability
Installing linear slide requires only a milled or ground mounting surface and follows specific assembly steps to replicate machining precision. This reduces the time and cost associated with traditional machining. Additionally, their interchangeable feature allows sliders to be easily mounted on compatible rails, maintaining the same smoothness and precision, making assembly and maintenance straightforward.
