High-performance parts are trending, so OME Technology promotes research, development, and design of “micro linear guides.” Cage designs and ductile packing systems are miniaturized to provide high precision, low noise, and long lifetime.ġ. When the linear slide moves, the oil inside lubricates and thus prolongs life. The BGX circulation system reserves space for retaining oil. The seal design in BGX linear guides is included in both the top and bottom seals avoiding the incursion of the foreign objects. The seal design is the key to linear slide quality. Even the incursion of the smallest objects into the slide can cause skipping and bumping which leads to permanent damage.

The accuracy of linear guides relies on the circulation of the steel ball between the slide and the rail. The incursion of foreign objects is typically the major reason behind shortened life in rail systems. In particular, the auto-adjust capability allows quick accurate linear motions by eliminating the deviation of the mounting planes and the assembly errors. Compared with the 2-groove Gothic design, the 4-groove construction is of better rigidity, accuracy, and life. This balances the load from all directions. The 4 rows of steel balls form a 45-degree contact with the grooves at 4 positions. Choose from size 12 (miniature), size 15, size 20 and size 25. Staf linear bearings are non-caged with a broad range of rail lengths. Shop for Staf linear guides, also known as linear bearings. Authorized System Integrator for Fanuc America, Inc.
