Linear guides can be divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They are used to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the frictional properties, linear motion guides can be classified into various types such as sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, and fluid friction guides. Linear guides, also known as line rails, sliders, linear guides, or linear sliders, are used in applications requiring linear reciprocating motion and can withstand a certain amount of torque, enabling high-precision linear motion under high loads. They are referred to as linear guides in mainland China and linear guides or linear sliders in Taiwan.
1. Storage of Linear Guides
When storing linear guides, apply rust-proof oil and seal them in specified sleeves, place them horizontally, and avoid environments with extreme temperatures and high humidity. Do not exceed an operating temperature of 80°C or an instantaneous temperature of 100°C.
1) Be cautious of the slider and rail potentially falling due to tilting or their own weight.
2) Be mindful of tapping or dropping the rail, as there may be functional losses even if no visible damage is apparent.
3) Do not disassemble the slider yourself, as this may introduce foreign objects or adversely affect assembly accuracy.
4) Store linear guides in a room at room temperature.
5) Apply some rust-proof oil on the guide.
6) To prevent grease evaporation, wrap the outer layer with a thin film.
7) Do not stack them underneath; place them on a suitable object.
2. Lubrication of Linear Guides
1) Clean off the rust-proof oil before applying lubricating oil (grease) for use.
2) Do not mix lubricating oils (greases) of different properties.
3) The method of applying lubricating oil may vary depending on the device used.
The function of linear guides is to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the frictional properties, linear motion guides can be classified into various types such as sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, and fluid friction guides. Linear bearings are mainly used in automated machinery, such as German-imported machine tools, bending machines, laser welding machines, etc., where linear bearings and linear shafts are used together. Linear guides are primarily used in machinery structures with high precision requirements, where the moving and fixed elements of the linear guide do not require an intermediate medium but use rolling steel balls.
