Miniature Type <strong>Linear</strong> <strong>Way</strong><br />

U.S. PATENTED<br />

<strong>Linear</strong> <strong>Way</strong> L<br />

LWLLWLF<br />

<strong>Linear</strong> <strong>Way</strong> L is a miniature type linear motion rolling guide, incorporating two rows of steel balls<br />

arranged in four point contact with the raceways. Although it is small in size, it provides stable<br />

accuracy and rigidity owing to its simple design even in operations under fluctuating loads with<br />

changing direction and magnitude or complex loads. The standard products are made from stainless<br />

steel, and a wide range of variations in shapes and sizes are available for selections suitable for each<br />

application.<br />

Interchangeable<br />

The ball-retained type includes interchangeable<br />

specification products. The dimensions of slide units<br />

and track rails of this specification are individually<br />

controlled, so that the slide units and track rails can be<br />

combined, added or exchanged freely.<br />

Standard type and wide rail type<br />

Slide units and track rails are provided in two widths:<br />

standard type and wide rail type. The wide rail type is<br />

suitable for single row rail arrangement.<br />

Length of slide unit<br />

The slide unit of stainless steel, ball retained type is<br />

further classified into three types: short type, standard<br />

type and high rigidity long type. All of these slide units<br />

are equal in sectional dimensions but different in slide<br />

unit lengths, which can be selected suiting the<br />

requirements in each application.<br />

Stainless steel type and high carbon steel type<br />

The stainless steel type has excellent corrosion<br />

resistance and is most suitable for machines and<br />

equipment used in clean environments, for example,<br />

medical equipment, disk read devices, and semiconductor<br />

manufacturing equipment.<br />

The high carbon steel type permits additional working to<br />

track rails and is used for general purpose applications<br />

such as material transfer machines and handling<br />

equipment.<br />

Ball retained type<br />

The slide unit of ball retained type incorporates ball<br />

retaining bands, which prevent steel balls from dropping<br />

when the slide unit is separated from the track rail. So<br />

handling is easy.<br />

Tapped rail specification<br />

In addition to the standard specification track rail which<br />

is fixed by inserting bolts downward in the mounting<br />

holes, the tapped rail specification track rail that has<br />

tapped screw holes is available, so an optimum<br />

mounting direction can be selected, giving more<br />

freedom in machine design.<br />
