Roller rail guides

Roller rail guides

A roller guide has rollers in the carriage's four raceways, but otherwise functions according to the same principle as a ball guide. The rollers allow it to handle higher load capacity as well as improved precision and rigidity. The advantages of rollers in the carriage include significantly improved energy efficiency.

Our roller guideways are available in sizes from 25–125 mm and up to 6000 mm in full length. It is also possible to butt-joint rails if longer guideways are needed. Roller guideways have been specially developed for machine tools, industrial robots, general mechanical engineering, and more.

Our roller guideways are characterized by having lubrication ports on all sides for maximum ease of maintenance. They also require minimal lubrication thanks to an innovative channel design.

The roller guideways are quiet-running thanks to an optimally designed roller return and guidance system. They also offer maximum rigidity under loads from all directions, due to two central mounting screw holes in the carriage.

With our roller guideways, you get unlimited interchangeability since all roller guideways can be combined with each other.

Roller Rails.

A roller rail and a roller carriage together make up a roller guideway. Roller rails are available in a variety of sizes and can be cut to the desired length. If roller rails longer than 4 meters are needed, a butt-joint can be made.

Roller Carriages.

Roller carriages, also called travel carriages, glide bearings, skate bearings, linear bearings, etc., are mounted on a roller rail and, together with components such as a ball screw, perform the linear movement. There are various types of roller carriages in terms of appearance, size, preload class, and tolerance class. Roller carriages are especially beneficial when handling very high loads, such as in press and stamping applications.

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.
