Specifications:
The document outlines specifications for linear rolling bearings, focusing on radial load capacity, static and dynamic load ratings, and preload classes. Dynamic load ratings are 30% higher than DIN standards, verified through tests. Static load rating is defined by the load causing permanent deformation at the most loaded contact point.

Procedures:

Norms and Standards:
References DIN 636 Parts 1 and 2 for load ratings and deformation standards. Discusses accuracy classes for profile rail guides, available in five classes with specific tolerances.

Recommendations:
Recommends selecting the appropriate preload class based on application requirements, suggesting higher preload for high shock loads and vibrations. Advises on combining accuracy classes for different applications.

Data and Tables:
Includes tables detailing load ratings and moments for various carriage designs, emphasizing precision manufacturing for interchangeability of components.
Contact Seals: Describes single-lip seals made from heavy-duty material for protection against liquids and contaminants, attachable to carriage end faces.
Two-piece Front Seal: Includes a scraper plate, support plate, and two-piece front seal, available in various sizes.
Seal Kit: Comprising a scraper plate, support plate, and two-piece front seal, available in different sizes.
Bellows: Made from polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating, available in different types for various sizes.
Lubrication Adapter: Designed for high carriages, made of plastic with O-rings for mounting, with specific dimensions for different sizes.
Cover Strip: Simplifies mounting, available in standard and initial mounting versions, with specific order designations.
Expanding Mandrel: Used to create a slide on the cover strip, available for different sizes.
Cover Strip Retaining Clamps: Made of aluminum with corrosion-resistant steel screws, prevent unintentional removal of the strip and dirt incursion.
Mounting Instructions and Maintenance: Provides general instructions for mounting profile rail guides, emphasizing care during transport and assembly. Details guidelines for rail and carriage assembly, including stop edges, screw sizes, and tightening torques.
Pinning: Additional fixing by pinning or stop edges is recommended if permissible lateral force values are exceeded, with dimensions for pin holes and instructions provided.
Loading of Screw Connections: Outlines the importance of recalculating screw connections if lift-off loads or moments exceed specified values, with technical data for different carriage types and sizes.
Height Deviation and Parallelism: Discusses permissible height deviation and parallelism values for mounted rails and carriages, with specific calculations and guidelines for different carriage types.

Just as with rotary bearings, the raceways of profile rail guides can be arranged in an X- or O-arrangement. The load carrying capacity of these two arrangements are essentially the same. Therefore, there are no basic differences in behavior in the vast majority of load situations, except when they are subjected to moment loads around the X-axis. The LLR profile rail guides from Ewellix feature an O-arrangement, based on the contact angle of the rolling elements (⮑ fig. 1). The advantage of this arrangement is that especially in one-axis systems, the moment-related rigidity is higher than comparable...

2.1.1  General information The general technical data applies to all rail guides (all carriages and rails). Special technical data is listed separately for the individual designs. Preload classes In view of the different user require- ments, the ball rail guides can be supplied in four different preload classes. Only in the case of preloaded systems. In the case of nonpreloaded systems: amax = 50 m/s2 So as not to reduce the service life, the preload should not amount to more than 1/3 of the bearing load F. Temperature resistance In general, the stiffness of the carriage increases according to...

Friction The friction coefficient µ of the ball rail guide is approx. 0,002 to 0,003 (not including the friction of the seal). As a result of the design with 4 ball rows a 2-point contact exists for all load directions. This reduces fric- tion to a minimum (⮑ fig. 1). Fig. 1 2.1.2  Load rating Definition of the basic dynamic load rating C The radial load, constant in magnitude and direction, which a linear rolling bearing can in theory accommodate for a basic rating life represented by a travelled distance of 105 m (to DIN 636 Part 1). The basic dynamic load ratings in the tables are generally...
