LINEAR TRACK GUIDANCE
- RAILS
The track guidance rail is a combination of an anodised aluminium extrusion together with a linear bearing shaft. This arrangement provides a high precision system that is light yet robust. The shaft can be either steel or stainless steel (for a corrosion resistant system).
The spacing of the bolts should not exceed dimension t and if the carriage is over 70% loaded, this spacing should be reduced to t/2.
Select your carriage - open or closed
The data below is for the rails. Please follow these links if you want details of the open carriages or closed carriages. The bearings and spigots are included in the carriages but they can also be bought separately.
More information on setting up the system.
Dimensions are in millimetres, loads are in Newtons and moments are measured in Nm.

All dimensions are in mm.
... in the part number represents the length in mm.
Standard lengths are available up to 6000mm but longer lengths can be manufactured on request.
For tracks with stainless steel shafts, the part number becomes R..- or R..B- (through bolt type).
Cover Strips
The wall thickness of the strip is 1mm. It simply snaps into place and fits both designs of rail.
If the Guideway is mounted using the T slots and the cover strip is fitted, the strip can be used as a channel for cables, airlines etc.
The part number is Axx-... where xx is the size of the rail and ... is the length.
