Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate tool guidance system in modern machinery, focusing on tungsten carbide tools. It compares rolling guides and sliding guides, noting their respective benefits and drawbacks.
Rolling Guides vs. Sliding Guides
Rolling guides provide high accuracy and minimal backlash but may experience guide displacement. Sliding guides offer greater rigidity and can be manufactured with narrow tolerances but struggle with maintaining lubrication in short stroke movements.
FIBRO Guide Element Program
The FIBRO guide element program assists design engineers in selecting standardized components for guiding tools, addressing challenges associated with both rolling and sliding guides.
Contents Overview
The document details various guide elements, classifications, selection matrices, and example applications, including ball cages, guide bushes, and guide pillars, with specifications and standards like DIN, ISO, and AFNOR.
Oilless Guide Elements
Oilless guide elements made of bronze with solid lubricants offer long-term lubrication without oil.
Conclusion
The document highlights the evolving nature of technology and reserves the right to make changes based on new findings.
Specifications
Detailed specifications for guide elements such as sliding blocks, prismatic guides, and centering units are provided, including material composition and compatibility with industry standards.
Procedures and Installation Guidelines
Installation guidelines emphasize proper lubrication and maintenance for optimal performance, with examples of mounting configurations.
Material and Coating Descriptions
Materials like sintered ferrites, bronze coatings, and copper alloys are chosen for their wear resistance and lubrication capabilities.
Performance and Load Capacity
A selection aid helps users choose the appropriate guide type based on load capacity, impact resistance, stroke speed, and maintenance requirements.
Pairing Classification
The document explains pairing classification for optimal guide element performance, with recommendations based on die clearance and material properties.
Recommendations
Recommendations for pairing selection emphasize careful consideration of piece part characteristics and tooling conditions.
Selection Matrix
A selection matrix for guide pillars and bushes indicates suitability with symbols, emphasizing the need for prior examination due to varying clearance or pretension values.
Deflection and Bending Equation
The document discusses the deflection of pillars and the importance of fixing guide pillars in the center to increase load-bearing capacity.
Mounting Instructions
Instructions include lubricating screw connections and providing tightening torque values.
Guide Elements and Accessories
Specifications for guide elements like ball cages, guide bushes, and guide pillars are detailed, including material, hardness, and execution.
Guide Pillar Specifications
Specifications for guide pillars include material, surface hardness, and execution, with mounting examples and ordering codes.
Application Examples
Application examples illustrate the use of guide elements in various configurations, providing dimensional requirements and tolerances.
Guide Pillars Overview
Guide pillars ensure precise alignment and smooth operation in industrial applications, with detailed specifications and ordering information provided.
Guide Bushes Overview
Specifications for guide bushes include material, standard, and key features, with ordering codes and recommendations for installation.
Ball Cages Overview
Ball cages are described with material specifications and ordering codes, emphasizing high bearing life and assembly aids.
Assembly Guidelines and Dimensional Requirements
Assembly guidelines and dimensional requirements for guide bushes are outlined, with emphasis on tolerance ranges and proper installation.
Oilless Guide Elements
Oilless guide elements offer low maintenance and self-lubricating properties, with performance and maintenance advantages discussed.
Sliding Pads Overview
Specifications for sliding pads include material, dimensions, and fixing instructions, with recommendations for installation.
Component Types
Components like angled guide gibs, T-guide bars, sliding blocks, and prismatic guides are detailed with specifications and ordering information.
Dynamic Load Figures
Dynamic load indices for various materials and configurations are provided, with guidelines for assembly and recommendations for maintaining component integrity.

Guide Elements-2

GUIDE ELEMENTS Faster work machines, more complex tools and the increasing use of tungsten carbide make the issue of the ideal tool guidance system more important than ever in terms of the basic considerations for the designer. Today, sliding guides of any kind can be manufactured with the narrowest tolerances in cylindricity and circularity. When properly paired with selected play, they give the tool greater rigidity than the rolling guide. A basic distinction is made between rolling guides and sliding guides. The rolling guide has a very high accuracy and operates almost backlash-free under...
