Miniature rails

Miniature rails

A miniature rail and a miniature carriage together form a complete miniature rail system. Rails are available in various sizes and can be cut to custom lengths. For applications requiring rails over 2 meters, butt-jointing is available.

Miniature rail guides are available in sizes from 7–20 mm and up to 2000 mm in full length. Our products offer exceptional performance in these sizes. The material is always stainless steel. Cover strips can be purchased for these rail guides, which prevent dirt from entering the holes in the guide rails.

With our miniature rail guides, you get unlimited interchangeability since all miniature rail guides can be combined with each other.

Miniature Rails.

A miniature rail and a miniature carriage together form a miniature rail guide. Miniature rails are available in various sizes and can be cut to the desired length. If rails longer than 2 meters are needed, a splice cut can be made.

Miniature Carriages.

Miniature carriages, also called sliders, plain bearings, skates, linear bearings, and more, are mounted on a miniature rail and, together with components such as a ball screw, perform the linear movement. There are several different types of miniature carriages in terms of appearance, size, preload class, and tolerance class. Miniature carriages are ideal for compact applications 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.
