The types of roller guides can be classified according to various classification criteria.
1. Classification based on rolling element type
Cylindrical guides in roller shape
The rolling element is composed of a cylindrical steel column, which forms a linear contact with the raceway of the guide rail and the slider, providing it with stable support and directional guidance.
It has the characteristics of high load capacity, excellent rigidity and stable accuracy.
Guide for rolling
The rolling element is a slender needle roller, whose length often exceeds its diameter, thus creating a more compact structure.
This method is particularly suitable for environments with limited space and high precision and strong load capacity.
2. Classification based on the characteristics of its structure
Single roller guide
Its structural design is simple and mainly consists of a guide rail, a slider and a roller.
Suitable for light load and medium precision use environment.
Guide system with multiple rollers
The slider is equipped with multiple rollers inside, which enhances its load-bearing and rigidity performance.
This is suitable for environments that require heavy loads, high precision and high-speed movement.
Preloaded roller guide rails
Use preloading technology to enhance the rigidity and accuracy of the guide rails.
This is suitable for occasions that need to withstand large overturning moments or vertical loads.
3. Classification according to application scenarios
Roller guide rail system for machine tools
This is specially built for machine tools, and it has a high degree of accuracy, rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
This technology has been widely used in CNC machine tools, machining centers and other high-precision machine tools.
Roller guide rail system for automated machinery
Linear motion components, such as robot arms and automated assembly lines, are suitable for use in automated equipment.
Provide stable and reliable support for linear motion.
