LINEAR GUIDES - MINIATURE PU SERIES / PE SERIES

Product catalog summary

Overview
The NSK Linear Guides Miniature PU Series/PE Series are designed for semiconductor manufacturing and medical equipment, offering high-load capacity, smooth motion, lightweight design, reduced noise, low dust generation, excellent dust resistance, high corrosion resistance, and long-term maintenance-free operation.

Key Features

Motion Performance: Enhanced recirculation components ensure smooth steel ball circulation.
Lightweight Design: Approximately 20% lighter due to the use of resin.
Noise Reduction: Resin components help reduce collision noise.
Dust Management: Features low dust generation and excellent dust resistance.
Corrosion Resistance: Constructed with high corrosion-resistant martensite stainless steel.
Ease of Handling: Safety design prevents steel balls from dropping out.
Maintenance-Free: Equipped with NSK K1™ Lubrication unit for long-term operation.
Fast Delivery: Interchangeable rails and ball slides allow for quick delivery.

Performance and Applications

Smooth Motion: Resin ball recirculation components enhance dynamic friction characteristics.
Low Dust Generation: Suitable for clean environments such as semiconductor and medical device manufacturing.
Applications: Ideal for precision positioning tables and advanced equipment.

Accuracy Standards

Available in various precision grades: Super precision (P4), High precision (P5), Precision (P6), and Normal (PN, PC).
Running parallelism tolerance and mounting dimensions are specified for each grade.

Preload and Rigidity

Three levels of preload: Slight preload (Z1), Fine clearance (Z0, ZT).
Preload and rigidity values are specified for different models.

Lubrication and Dust Resistance

Standard grease PS2 is recommended for low dust emission and high-speed applications.
NSK K1™ lubrication unit enhances dust resistance.

Dimensions and Assembly

Detailed dimensions for rail and ball slide assemblies are provided.
Standard models are available for interchangeable types.
