Product catalog summary
Overview
The document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for the SBC Linear Rail System, focusing on its high rigidity, load capacity, and energy efficiency. It details structural features, maintenance benefits, and various models suitable for different machine designs.
Specifications
The Circular-Arc raceway structure provides high rigidity and load capacity, featuring a four-row circular arc groove and two-point contact for uniform load distribution. The DF structure reduces instrumental errors and enhances energy efficiency. Models such as SBI, SBG, SBS, SPG, and SPS are highlighted for specific applications.
Comparison with Other Systems
The document compares the Circular-Arc Groove with the Gothic-Arch Groove, highlighting the former's superior error absorption and smooth movement under high load conditions, while the latter is optimized for miniaturized machines.
Load and Life Calculations
The nominal life of the linear rail system is defined by the total travel distance before flaking occurs, with calculations based on load, dynamic load rating, and static load rating. Formulas for calculating static permissible moments and safety factors under various load conditions are provided.
Friction and Efficiency
The SBC linear rail systems have low static and dynamic coefficients of friction, minimizing driving force and temperature increase. Examples of frictional force calculations for different guide systems are included.
Selection Procedure
Guidelines for selecting the appropriate linear rail system consider machine structure, space, installation direction, stroke length, payload, velocity, and working environment.
Load Calculations
Detailed procedures for calculating applied loads, equivalent loads, and mean loads are provided, considering various axis conditions and load directions.
Rigidity and Preload
Preload affects rigidity, internal load, and clearance. The document outlines preload conditions and their impact on rigidity, with examples for different machine applications.
Accuracy
Accuracy is defined by running parallelism, height, and width differences between blocks and rails. Accuracy levels are categorized into N, H, and P types.
Design Considerations
Design guidelines include mounting methods, tolerance of mounting surfaces, and rail joint marking for long travel applications. Emphasis is placed on identifying reference surfaces and permissible tolerances to ensure smooth operation.
Rail Mounting Procedure
Steps include cleaning the mounting surface, applying spindle oil, positioning the rail and carriage plate, and tightening bolts with a torque wrench.
Block Mounting Procedure
Involves clamping the reference rail, positioning the table with bearings, and tightening bolts carefully.
Lubrication
Lubrication is crucial for performance, reducing friction and wear. Oil with high thermal stability or grease with high viscosity is recommended. Application methods and intervals vary based on conditions.
Safety Design
Dust and rust prevention, along with re-lubrication, are necessary for longevity. Surface treatments like black chrome and fluorocarbon chrome coatings are available for anti-rust purposes.
Dust Protection
RC caps prevent contaminants from entering bolt holes, with various seal options available based on conditions.
High Temperature Design
For temperatures above 80°C, high-temperature end-plates made of aluminum are recommended, with ST dustproof tape for rail face sealing.
High Dust-Proof and Self-Lubricant Container
DF seals provide dust protection, while MF containers offer self-lubrication for long maintenance intervals.
Types of Linear Rail Systems
Various types are available, including high-load, standard, miniature, and low noise types, each with specific features and applications.
Additional Notes
Grease fitting details and mounting restrictions for certain models are provided.

Linear Rail System Technical Data Technical Data Ball Screw Load Rating & Life Static Permissible Moment : Mo ( kN.m) Under normal conditions, the linear rail system can be damaged by metal fatigue as the result of repeated stress. The repeated stress causes flaking of the raceways and steel balls. The life of linear rail system is defined as the total travel distance that the linear rail system travels until flaking occurs. These load are maximum moments or torque loads that can be applied to the bearing without damaging the bearing or affecting subsequent dynamic life. Mro : Moment in rolling...

Linear Rail System Technical Data Technical Data The procedure of selecting linear rail system The static and dynamic coefficient of friction of the SBC linear rail systems are so small that they minimize the required driving force and temperature increase. Frictional force depends on load, preload, velocity and lubrication. In general, the light load with high speed is more affected by the lubricant, while the medium or heavy load are more affected by the load and are less sensitive to lubrication selection. *Coefficient of friction for linear rail system( ) : 0.002~0.004 - Machine structure...

Linear Rail System Technical Data Technical Data Ball Screw The block side to side movement by vibration is called clearance. When the load is applied to Linear Rail Systems, the balls, blocks and rails experience the elastic deformation within permissible range. The ratio of displacement is known as the rigidity. The rigidity increases as the preload increases. Clearance checking In case of four way equal load type, the preload is available until the load increases to some 2.8 times the preload applied. Where rigidity is required, vibration and impact are present. Example Machining center Engineered...
