The role of linear guide

2020-09-10

The role of PEK linear guide is to support and guide the moving parts. Linear guides, also known as slide rails, linear guides, and linear slides, are used in linear reciprocating motion applications. They have a higher rated load than linear bearings, and can bear a certain torque at the same time, and can achieve high-precision straight lines under high loads movement.

The function of the linear guide is to support and guide the moving parts to make reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the nature of friction, linear guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, and fluid friction guides.
Linear bearings are mainly used in automated machinery, such as machine tools imported from Germany, paper bowl machines, laser welding machines, etc. Of course, linear bearings and linear shafts are matched. Like linear guides, it is mainly used in mechanical structures that require relatively high precision. Sliders-change the movement from a curve to a straight line.
