Linear guides - indispensable for mechanical engineering

Linear guides – primarily composed of profiled rails and one or more carriages with recirculating balls – are indispensable in mechanical engineering for creating efficient, high-quality and durable machines. Linear guides support and conduct linear motion in a variety of machines. Precision, rigidity and durability are decisive features for applications that place high demands on, for example, positioning accuracy and repeatability – even at high speeds and heavy loads. Important factors that determine the choice of the type of linear guides in an application include load, speed, accuracy, environmental conditions and durability. This ensures that linear guides are indispensable for machine building.

Extensive linear program for linear guides

LM Systems is ‘qualified distributor’ of pioneer and world market leader THK. Among other things, the Japanese company has developed the (synthetic) ball chain. The ball chain encloses each individual ball in a cage. The ball chain prevents mutual contact between the balls. This results in low levels of noise, smooth running and high accuracy and lubrication intervals.

The extensive program for linear guides includes:

  • standard guides with or without ball chain;
  • compact and flange versions;
  • miniature guides;
  • precision guides;
  • guides with wide rails;
  • guides for high loads;
  • split guides;
  • arched linear guides.

For applications requiring high rigidity, LM Systems also offers roller guides from THK in its program.

Especially for lightweight applications, we have the program of aluminum linear guides from Dr. Tretter available.
