LINEAR SYSTEM ALLOWABLE LOAD LIFE Load and Moment Figure 1-1 Load and Moment A load is applied to the linear system as Figure 1-1 shows. Sometimes moment loads are applied to, for example, slide guides. Load and moment are defined as follows. Basic Static Load Rating (compliant with ISO14728-21) and Allowable Static Moment When excess load or impact load is applied to the linear system while it is stationary or moving slowly, a permanent deformation occurs on the rolling elements and the race way. If this deformation exceeds a certain limit, it causes vibration and noise during operation resulting...

LINEAR SYSTEM ・ 3 10 Lh 2・ L ・n1・60 …………………… 9 ℓS L h: life time hr ℓ : stroke length S m  cpm n1: number of cycles per minute In the linear system, the guide rail or shaft works as race way of the rolling elements. Therefore, the hardness of the rail or shaft is an important factor in determining the rated load. The rated load decreases as the hardness decrease below 58HRC. NB products hold appropriate hardness by advanced heat treatment technology. In case of using the rail or shaft of insufficient hardness, please take the hardness coefficient (Figure 1-2) into the life calculation equation....
