Technical details and manufacturing context for Linear Guideways
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rail Width | 15–65 mm | Standard sizes: 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 45, 55, 65 |
| Carriage Length | 50–250 mm | Depends on rail width and load capacity |
| Dynamic Load Rating | 5–200 kN | Higher values for larger sizesISO 14728-1 |
| Static Load Rating | 10–400 kN | Higher values for larger sizesISO 14728-2 |
| Accuracy Grade | C1–C5 | C1 highest precision, C5 standardISO 14728-1 |
| Repeatability | ±0.001–±0.005 mm | Tighter for higher accuracy grades |
| Maximum Speed | 2–5 m/s | Limited by lubrication and sealing |
| Operating Temperature | -20–80 °C | Continuous operation; higher with special seals |
| Preload Class | Z0–Z3 | Z0 no preload, Z3 high preload for rigidity |
| Rail Length | 100–4000 mm | Custom lengths available up to 6000 mm |
| Weight | 1–20 kg/m | Per meter of rail, varies with size |
| Lubrication | Grease or oil | Grease for most applications, oil for high speed |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| speed: | Up to 5 m/s (depending on size and lubrication) |
| accuracy: | ±0.005 mm/m to ±0.02 mm/m (depending on precision grade) |
| pressure: | N/A (mechanical component, not fluid pressure) |
| temperature: | -20°C to +80°C (standard), up to +120°C with special seals/lubricants |
| load capacity: | Dynamic load rating: 1-100 kN depending on size, static load rating: 2-200 kN |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.
Quoted from the published standard.
1 company lists this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
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.
Standard rail widths are 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 45, 55, and 65 mm. The appropriate width depends on the load and application requirements.
Accuracy grades range from C1 (highest precision) to C5 (standard). The grade affects repeatability and positional accuracy; C1 offers tighter tolerances.
The operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C for continuous operation. Higher temperatures may be possible with special seals, but verify with the manufacturer.
Grease is suitable for most applications, while oil is recommended for high-speed operations. Proper lubrication reduces friction and wear, extending service life.
