Product catalog summary
Overview: Nippon Bearing's Gonio Way RVF type is a low-friction, non-recirculating curved motion bearing designed for high precision applications such as optical equipment and measuring devices. It features a flat installation surface for easy processing and reduced machining costs.
Specifications: The RVF type utilizes precision cross-rollers and curved V-grooves for an accurate center of rotation. It offers low frictional resistance, minute motion accuracy, and low noise due to its non-recirculating design.
Installation: The installation procedure involves setting curved tracking bases, aligning reference edges, and securing the table with adjustment screws. Proper torque application is crucial for maintaining accuracy and preventing cage slippage.
Accuracy: The accuracy of the RVF type is determined by mutual dimensional errors measured along the overall length. High accuracy of the installation surface is essential for optimal performance.
Life Calculation: The travel life of the NB miniature slide table can be calculated using specific equations involving stroke length, number of strokes per minute, and load coefficients.
2-Axes and Custom Specifications: For two-axis installations, adjustments are required to maintain identical rotation centers. Custom specifications are available upon request.
Precautions for Use: Proper lubrication, dust prevention, and careful handling are necessary to maintain the accuracy and longevity of the Gonio Way. The product should be used within allowable load values to ensure smooth and accurate motion.
Lubrication and Maintenance: The Gonio Way is pre-lubricated with lithium soap grease and requires periodic reapplication. Low dust generation grease is also available for specific environments.

Catalog excerpts

NB - Gonio way -1

The NB Gonio Way RVF type consists of curved tracking bases with precisely ground V-grooves and flat installation surfaces, as well as a curved roller cage in which cross rollers are fitted. Precision rollers are employed as the rolling elements. Since the rolling elements do not recirculate, the frictional resistance will not vary significantly, providing curved movement with extremely low frictional resistance. > The flat installation surfaces of the RVF type do not require complicated machining of tables and beds when installing the product. As a result, machining costs can be reduced greatly. The precision grinding work and curved roller cage allow for extremely low frictional resistance. The negligible difference between starting and dynamic frictions allows the RVF type to follow minute movements accurately, realizing curved movement of high accuracy. > The curved V-grooves, which are finished with a precise grinding process, provide an accurate center of rotation. Furthermore, the products are composed to provide identical rotation centers when products of each size are installed to two axes. (Refer to Table H-17.) > Since NB Gonio Way employs a non-recirculating design, noise will not be generated at the circulating area. In addition, the curved roller cage realizes quiet operation without contact noise between the rolling elements. > Figure H-35 Structure of RVF Type Gonio Way Installation surfaceA-curved tracking baseEnd piece Installation surfaceCurved roller cage Installation surfaceB-curved tracking base H-58 >

NB gonio ways are lubricated using lithium soap grease prior to shipment, so they can be used immediately. Periodic application of a similar type grease is recommended depending on the operating conditions. NB also provides low dust generation grease for the linear system. Please refer to page Eng-20 for further details. End pieces are attached to each end of the NB gonio way to prevent removal of the curved roller cage. Do not use as a mechanical stopper. > PRODUCTS Dropping a NB gonio way may result in scratches or dents on the raceway surface, preventing smooth motion and affecting accuracy....
