Linear motion friction guides As a global leader in the design and manufacture of sliding systems, Accuride® presents a range of plain bearing friction guides for automation and handling systems. Using only the highest quality materials Accuride has developed three friction guides to be used on a hard anodised aluminium track. Three guide options: non-adjust, manual adjust and auto adjust

Why use friction guides? Friction guides are competitively priced compared to high precision ball guides, yet are still suitable for most automation requirements. Obviously, friction movement means no ball bearings so no lubrication maintenance is required. They can be used in harsh environments and in and around many types of liquids. The height, width and hole pitches all refer to the same ISO standard so they can be used as an interchangeable alternative to recirculating linear guides (guide and track together). The products are ultra-low weight and yet have a high static load bearing and...

Both the manual and automatic adjustable guides can be adjusted in the Z and Y directions. Manual adjust: use an Allen key to create the perfect clearance or preload for your application. Packaging protects the products during transit and storage, and is colour coded for easy identification.

Load (N) The graph shows Accuride's travel rating (km) per load (N) for a single guide in a clean environment. Data was taken under a constant speed of 1m/s and at an ambient temperature of 20°C. Travel rating may vary when altering these variables. Accuride has tested to maximum of 2m/s and higher speeds are achievable. Please ensure loads are applied correctly and within the limits specified. All fixing holes should be used. Off centre loading will apply additional wear. Environment, temperature and speed can affect performance. Please test products to your specific requirements. Visitwww.accuride-europe.com...
