Ball rail systems
A ball rail system is primarily used in general mechanics and tool manufacturing. Our ball rail systems are available in sizes ranging from 15 to 65 mm, with standard rail lengths up to 6000 mm. For applications requiring extended lengths, rails can be butt-jointed to achieve the desired size.
A typical ball rail system consists of one rail, one or two carriages, and optional accessories such as cover strips, scrapers, and more.
A ball rail system provides equally high load ratings in all four load directions. It features a low noise level and is up to 60% lighter compared to all-steel systems. Our ball rail systems are equipped with a special corrosion-resistant coating, making them suitable for demanding environments.
Thanks to universal compatibility, all our ball rail components are interchangeable.

Ball rails.
A ball rail and a carriage together form a complete ball rail system. Ball rails are available in various sizes and can be cut to custom lengths. For lengths exceeding 4 meters, butt-jointing is available.

Ball carriages.
Also referred to as carriages, linear bearings, slides, or linear bushings, ball carriages are mounted onto the ball rail and, when combined with a ballscrew, perform the linear motion. Available in a variety of designs, sizes, preload classes, and tolerance classes, they are ideal for general automation and can handle loads from all directions.

Product details.
Rail guides are a core component of advanced linear motion technology. They enable precision and control in machine motion systems. By integrating rail guides into your system, you achieve smooth linear movements, reduced friction, and high accuracy.
Rail guides offer outstanding accuracy and repeatability in motion. By minimizing deviations and errors, you can maintain the highest quality standards in your processes and end products.
Friction between moving parts is significantly reduced with rail guides. This leads to lower energy consumption, extended component life, and reduced wear.
Advanced rail guides provide exceptional load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for managing various types of loads in demanding industrial environments.
Each type of rail guide is designed to meet specific requirements and use cases:
This variant uses recirculating ball bearings to facilitate smooth movement along the rail. Known for their high load capacity and consistent motion, ball rail guides are a popular choice for many applications.
Roller rail guides use cylindrical rolling elements to reduce friction and enable ultra-smooth motion. They are ideal when low friction, high precision, and heavy load handling are essential.
Designed for compact or small-scale applications where space is limited, miniature rail guides offer high performance in a reduced footprint — perfect for precision equipment and microtechnology.
Rail guides are widely used across various industries and high-precision applications:
Machining equipment: Ensure accuracy in milling, turning, and other operations, contributing to high-quality components.
Machine tools: Enable smooth movement and precise control, critical for tool accuracy.
Measuring machines: Improve the reliability and accuracy of measurements by reducing vibrations and disturbances.
Medical technology: Provide reliable and precise motion in medical equipment such as surgical robots and diagnostic machines.
Microelectronics: Essential for exact positioning during the manufacturing of microelectronic components and circuits.
