Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the RUE..-E and RUE..-E-KT-L series of linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies, designed for heavy-duty applications requiring high load capacity, rigidity, and precision, such as in machine tools.
Series RUE..-E
This series emphasizes high load capacity and rigidity with a full complement system, featuring innovations like reduced joints in the rolling element recirculation system and improved contamination protection. The lubrication system supports both oil and grease without differentiation, and the series is compatible with existing guideways.
Series RUE..-E-KT-L
This series uses a rolling element chain for quieter operation, maintaining similar load ratings and rigidity due to a longer saddle plate despite fewer load-bearing elements.
Features
The assemblies include a carriage, guideway, and sealing elements, supporting loads from all directions except the direction of motion. They are preloaded for high rigidity and suitable for high accelerations, speeds, and operating temperatures.
Carriage and Guideways
Designed for both grease and oil lubrication, the carriage features hardened steel components and precision ground raceways. Guideways are precision ground and available in various configurations.
Interchangeability and Corrosion Resistance
Carriages and guideways are matched for preload but can be used in different combinations after consultation. Corrosion-resistant options are available with Corrotect® plating.
Sealing and Preload
The systems feature comprehensive sealing to protect against contamination, with a standard preload class V3 for optimized rigidity and minimized displacement resistance.
Friction and Accuracy
The systems have a low coefficient of friction and are available in various accuracy classes, with specified tolerances for height, distance, and parallelism.
Demands on Adjacent Construction
Running accuracy depends on the straightness and rigidity of mounting surfaces, with geometrical and positional accuracy crucial for optimal performance.
Conclusion
The document provides detailed specifications and guidelines for the installation and operation of the RUE..-E and RUE..-E-KT-L series, emphasizing their suitability for demanding industrial applications.
Specifications
The assemblies include a carriage with rolling element chains and a guideway, preloaded to support loads from all directions except the direction of motion. They handle accelerations up to 100 m/s2 and speeds up to 180 m/min, with operating temperatures from -10°C to +100°C.
Components
The carriage (RWU..-E-KT-L) features hardened steel with precision ground raceways and elastic wipers. The guideways (TSX..-E) are also made of hardened steel with precision ground surfaces and various mounting options.
Ordering Information
Examples of ordering designations specify size, carriage type, number of carriages, accuracy class, and guideway length.
Installation and Maintenance
The assemblies come with lubrication nipples and oil connectors, requiring specific handling for lubrication and installation. Closing plugs and dummy guideways protect components during assembly and maintenance.
Load Capacities
Detailed tables provide load ratings and moment ratings for various configurations, indicating the maximum loads and moments the assemblies can withstand.
Applications
Suitable for applications requiring long stroke lengths, high loads, and high rigidity, such as in industrial machinery and automation systems.
Load Ratings
Basic load ratings and moment ratings are provided for different unit designations, indicating the load-carrying capacity of each assembly.
Installation Guidelines
Instructions for positioning lubrication holes and using fixing screws are included, with references to the INA Catalogue “605” for additional information.

Linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies (MAI 92)-1

The full complement linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies RUE..-D are the heavy duty designs in the range of INA linear recirculating guidance systems. It is with good reason that they are used wherever linear guidance systems must support extremely heavy loads, where particularly high rigidity is required and where very precise travel is also necessary. It is quite clear: machine tools are their domain. They are at home here and this is where they have proved extremely successful in many applications. In order to make this series of guidance systems even more attractive to the user, it has been completely revised. The result: the new series RUE..-E and RUE..-E-KT-L. RUE..-E guidance systems run on the same guideways as the established RUE..-D series. Changing to the higher performance E versions does not therefore require duplicate stockholding. This simplifies logistical processing and saves on storage costs. > Series RUE..-E The focus here is the same as before: very high load carrying capacity and rigidity. This series was therefore designed as a full complement system. Due to further development of the innovative injection moulding concept, the number of joints between parts in the rolling element recirculation system has been further reduced and the systems intrinsic protection against contamination has been improved (increased functional reliability, reduced displacement force pulsation).With the new lubricant duct design, it is no longer necessary to differentiate between oil and grease lubrication. Each guidance system is now supplied with a lubrication nipple and oil connector. There is thus no longer any need to indicate whether grease or oil lubrication is to be used. The relubrication options have also been substantially expanded. Lubrication is carried out from the side, from the end or from above via the end piece. For lubrication from the side, the end piece has theaded holes for lubrication connectors. If lubrication is to be carried out from the end face, the screw plug is simply replaced by a lubrication connector. The lubrication point can thus be quickly defined on site.If large quantities of contamination are present in operation, additional sealing of carriages is often required. As in the case of RUE..-D, the end seal can be replaced without removing the carriage from the guideway. Optimum protection against contamination is completed by upper and twin lower sealing strips. This saves on set-up time and ensures reliable operation under demanding conditions. Series RUE..-E-KT-L This series corresponds to the RUE..-E-L design. However, the rolling elements are not arranged on the full complement principle, but are guided instead by a rolling element chain. Solutions with a rolling element chain run with less noise than full complement guidance systems. Due to the rolling element chain, there are fewer load-bearing rolling elements in the load zone. Since the longer saddle plate variant is used in the chain version, however, the basic load ratings and rigidity values are similar to those of the full complement standard version.Guidance systems with an integral rolling element chain are available in the series RUE..-E-KT-L and RUE..-E-KT-HL. > 173 759

Preload Linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies RUE..-E are available in preload class V3 (see Table1).Optimum rigidity of the elements is achieved with the smallest possible deviation in the preload force. Linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies are therefore supplied as preassembled units; the elements are sorted and matched to each other. Influence of preload on the linear guidance system Increasing the preload increases the rigidity.However, preload also influences the displacement resistance and operating life of linear guidance systems.
