compact rail

SILENT OPERATION LEVELWith today’s restrictive regulations for admissible working noise levels, it’s become more andmore important to keep a machine’s operation noise level as low as possible.The COMPACT RAIL system offers very low operation noise level, even when working with highloads and high speed. This is the opposite of recirculating ball sliders that become much noisieras the speed and load increases.Below figure indicates a typical comparison of operation noise level.QUICK AND EASY ASSEMBLYINGThe cost of assembly-time is often neglected during the designing stage as many engineersassume that the time for assembly is a fixed factor, equal for all linear bearings.The COMPACT RAIL system has been studied to facilitate in mounting and to offer high costsavings on assembly-time. In addition, substantial cost savings is also gained due to lowrequirement of the accuracy of the mounting surface finish.The main time saving characteristics are offered by the self-aligning rail combinations T/U andK/U, the self-aligning rails with C’sunk fixing holes, and the small number of fixing screws due tothe large pitch of the rails.OPTIMUM PRELOAD SETTINGFor applications where the stiffness or low friction is very critical, the COMPACT RAIL systemoffers the unique possibility of allowing the preload on standard sliders to be set according to theexact needs of the application.All sliders are interchangeable, by just simply resetting the preload.Cat. 41-41bEA7
