THK SHS linear guide with Caged Ball Technology
- Excellent service
- Customer-specific assembly
- Stock management
- Delivery rate 99,5%
The SHS series of linear ball guides from THK features an innovative Caged Ball Technology. This cage prevents point contact between individual balls and ensures an even load distribution. The result: quiet and smooth motion, reduced wear, and significantly longer service life. Lubrication performance is also enhanced, as the lubricant remains better distributed between the balls, extending maintenance intervals and improving operational reliability.
The rail incorporates four precisely ground raceways that ensure high accuracy and stability. With four rows of balls positioned at a 45-degree contact angle, the SHS series offers uniform load capacity in all directions. This makes the guide particularly suitable for applications requiring precision, reliability, and durability – such as CNC machinery, measurement systems, and automation modules.
By choosing the SHS series, you opt for proven quality and advanced technology that directly contributes to higher machine performance and lower maintenance costs.
