MINIATURE LINEAR GUIDES SMOOTH & QUIET LINEAR MOTION

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Hepco's miniature linear guides, based on Pacific Bearing Company's Simplicity technology, offer smooth and quiet linear motion. These guides are self-lubricating, require no sealing, and are resistant to temperature extremes. They are available in sizes ranging from 7mm to 20mm and lengths up to 3000mm, made from lightweight aluminum alloys for durability and corrosion resistance. They are interchangeable with industry-standard sizes and require no maintenance.

Technical Data
The guides come in three configurations: Precision Series (MR) with hardcoat anodized rails and FrelonGold® liners for high performance, and Compensated Precision Series (MRC) with additional clearance for misalignment tolerance. The running clearance for MR is 0.025 - 0.051mm, and for MRC is 0.064 - 0.089mm.

Specifications
Maximum rail length is 3000mm. The guides are available in standard and cut-to-length options. CAD files are available for download from the Hepco website.

Static Load Data
The guides are designed to handle cantilevered loads without binding, provided the 2:1 ratio for load and drive forces is not exceeded. Performance ratings are based on the limiting PV, a combination of load and velocity.

Industries and Applications
These guides are suitable for industries such as semiconductor processing, clean rooms, printing, packaging, automotive assembly, and medical devices. They offer advantages like quiet operation, self-lubrication, vibration damping, and corrosion resistance.

Design Criteria
Rolling element profile rails are suitable for high-speed applications but not recommended for environments with high noise, contamination, or extreme temperatures. Hepco's self-lubricating technology is better suited for these conditions.

Alternative Products
Hepco offers complementary products like Simplicity bearings, flanged housings, sleeve bearings, and square bearings, each designed for specific applications and environments. Additional products include high load support rails and hardened crown track rollers for various linear motion needs.

MINIATURE LINEAR GUIDES SMOOTH & QUIET LINEAR MOTION-2

Product Overview Based on Pacific Bearing Company's proven Simplicity technology, miniature linear guides provide smooth and quiet linear motion. The self-lubricating design requires no sealing, emits no particulates, tolerates both high and low temperature extremes and has no rolling elements that can cause catastrophic failure. Precision Series miniature linear guides are available in five sizes: 7 9, 12, 15 and 20mm - in lengths up to 3000mm, , meaning no cumbersome butt joints. These guides are precision manufactured from lightweight aluminum alloys to ensure long life and corrosion resistance....

Static Load Data The numbers below are for rails in a static condition. Refer to the calculations below to establish dynamic parameters. Size *Max static load in Newtons. Performance Ratings for Linear Motion Plane bearings are rated by their limiting PV, which is a combination of load over a given surface area and the velocity. PV = The performance measurement of plane bearings PV = P x V where P = pressure (load) in kgf/cm2 V = velocity (speed) in m/min Note: All three parameters must be met by an application for the Cantilevered Loads Binding of the carriage will occur if the 2:1 ratio for...

Alternative Products Simplicity Bearings The high speed and load benefits of the Hepco-Pacific Frelon™ Gold liner are readily apparent but for the most extreme environments of wash-downs and corrosion the ‘J’-Liner is readily available. Designed to interchange with failing ball based systems Hepco-Pacific Simplicity bearings are available in standard or pillow block, open or closed formats. Flanged Housings Hepco-Pacific Flanged bearings are available either with single or double flanges. These bearings can be either face or end mounted eliminating the need for a precision pilot. With this simplified...
