This page explains how Linear Guides is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
Precision mechanical components that provide smooth, low-friction linear motion along a fixed path.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Linear Guides
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rail Width | 15–65 mm | Determines load capacity and rigidity |
| Carriage Length | 50–200 mm | Affects moment load capacity |
| Dynamic Load Rating | 5–120 kN | For L=100 km lifeISO 14728-1 |
| Static Load Rating | 10–250 kN | Maximum load without permanent deformationISO 14728-2 |
| Accuracy Grade | C0–C5 | C0 highest precision, C5 standardISO 14728-1 |
| Running Parallelism | ±0.003–±0.02 mm | Per 1000 mm travelISO 14728-1 |
| Maximum Travel Speed | 60–300 m/min | Limited by seal friction and lubrication |

Manufacturer profiles associated with Linear Guides.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Accuracy grades range from C0 (highest precision) to C5 (standard), as per ISO 14728-1. The grade affects running parallelism and positioning accuracy. Always confirm the required grade for your application with the manufacturer.
Selection depends on load capacity, required accuracy, travel speed, and environmental conditions. Reference parameters such as rail width, carriage length, dynamic/static load ratings, and accuracy grade are provided as ranges. Consult the manufacturer for model-specific values.
Regular lubrication is necessary, using grease or oil as specified. Seals should be checked for wear, especially in dusty environments. Operating temperature above 80°C requires special lubrication. Follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance intervals.
Yes, maximum travel speeds range from 60 to 300 m/min, but are limited by seal friction and lubrication. For high-speed applications, oil lubrication may be preferred. Verify speed capabilities with the manufacturer.
