Product catalog summary
Guide Units Overview
The document provides a comprehensive overview of STEINEL's guide units, which are utilized in toolmaking, fixture manufacturing, and machine engineering. It describes three types of sliding guides (bronzed steel, solid lubricant, and solid lubricant rings) and two types of roller guides (roller and ball guides).
Quality Criteria
STEINEL guides are renowned for their exceptional lifetimes and high loading capacity, attributed to high part precision, excellent surface quality, optimal material selection, tailored heat treatment processes, and perfect matching.
Types of Guidance
The document details the suitability of different guide types for various applications, including high stroke speed, large stroke, accuracy, high lateral forces, and environments without lubrication.
Interchangeability
All guide bushes comply with DIN 9831 / ISO 9448 standards, facilitating easy interchangeability between different guidance types during a tool's lifecycle.
Customised Guide Units
STEINEL offers customized guide units for complex applications, providing measurement protocols upon request.
Guide Pillars
The document describes various versions of guide pillars for sliding and roller guides, including their diameters, lengths, and specific properties such as installation requirements and surface finishes.
Roller Guides
STEINEL roller guides consist of a guide pillar, a roller or ball guide, and a guide bush. They are designed for longevity, fast stroke movements, high lateral forces, and low maintenance. Accessories like cage holders and limiting sleeves enhance functionality.
Ball Guides
Ball guides are available in aluminium, brass, and plastic, each offering unique benefits such as lower mass, high wear resistance, and low friction, suitable for longitudinal and rotational motions.
Dynamic Loading Capacity
The document includes graphs illustrating the dynamic loading capacity for roller and ball cages, showcasing their performance under various conditions.

Guide units Roller guides (roller and ball guides) Roller line Roller point STEINEL roller guides (roller and ball guides) consist of a guide pillar, a roller or ball guide and a guide bush, which are paired together free of clearance. The cage travel is only half as long as the stroke of the guide. Quality criteria of STEINEL roller guides long life time – Profile rollers and balls are helically arranged in the cage, and are free-wheeling mounted. fast stroke movements – Speeds of up to 30 m/min. can be achieved as a result of the low friction of the rollers or balls. high lateral forces possible...

Dynamic loading capacity C in accordance with DIN ISO 14728-1 for roller cages with diameters of 19 to 80 mm Application Aluminium roller cages ■ can be used in any installation position for longitudinal movements ■ rotational motion not possible ■ low mass and consequently lower inertia, particularly in the movement turning points ■ long life time - The contact radii of the saddle shape are manufactured in such a way that critical loads on the edge area will be avoided. The bending as a result of the load in the middle surface to the external track leads to a compression which can be neglected....

Guide units Sliding guides Sliding guides, bronzed steel Sliding guides with solid lubricant and solid lubricant rings Steel sleeve Bronze layer The hardened steel sleeve takes on lateral forces and prevents the guide bush becoming deformed due to the strong force application. The galvanic bronze layer spread across the running surface is hard, extremely wear-resistant and honed to the highest surface quality. In addition to good dry-running properties, it also has excellent thermal conductivity in order to quickly dissipate the resulting friction heat. The internal lubrication system, within...

Guide units Guide pillar installation instructions Installation instructions for smooth pillars Installation of the guide pillar Disassembly of the guide pillar Carefully clean the boreholes in the top and bottom parts and apply oil to them (no grease). Slide the pillars in the top part. Place plane-parallel ground bars between the upper and bottom part. Drive the pillars approx. 3 mm deep into the bottom part. Push in the pillars using a hydraulic press or manual spindle press (the pillar has the fit ISO h3, the borehole has the fit ISO R6, therefore a press fit is guaranteed). Pillars = bending...

Guide units Installation instructions: sliding and roller guides The bushes must not be pressed. Pressing may result in deformation of the internal diameter. For security, smooth bushes must be stuck in the mounting bore (with Loctite 603, part number SZ9742). Adhesive surfaces must be completely free of grease. Please observe the instructions of the adhesive manufacturer. For flange bushes and guide bushings with shoulders, the shoulder and flange surfaces that are rectangular ground to the guide bore are pressed firmly to the plate with holding clamps or screws. Guides are to be furnished with...
