MINIRAIL – Perfection to the last detail for the latest requirements of the technology:• High accelerations of up to 300m/s

Direct Lubrication The Ball Entry Zone - A Decisive Point Two lubrication bores in each front plates allow the direct lubrication of the ball recir- culation system. The initial lubrication is applied at Schneeberger.

The precise fi ne grinding of the ball entry position on the running track is crucial to the operational quietness and service life, especially in the case of carriages with pre- load. Here we have indeed produced our best work!

Optimized Material Selection The ball recirculation devices are made out of a plastic material, which is capable of being subjected to high loads. The smooth running track surfaces are per- fectly capable of accommodating the enor- mous centrifugal forces of the balls. High acceleration valuescall for new solutions In the case of gearwheel or ball screw drives, the maximum speed was limited by the design of the linear guideway. In newer designs, the guideway is subjected to very high stresses as a result of the use of linear motors - the acceleration values have highly increased. Schneeberger’s recircula- tion element (shown here) has been deve- loped to withstand high stresses from demanding applications.
