Linear Guide Short Block-Low Profile EG Type (ROHS Compliant)

  The Linear Guide, also known as a guide rail, linear rail, or linear slide rail, is used for linear reciprocating motion applications. It has a higher rated load and linear motion accuracy than linear bearings within the same component volume. It can also bear a certain torque load, achieving high-precision linear motion under heavy load conditions.
  Linear Guides are used to support and guide moving parts, performing reciprocating linear motion in a specified direction. They are mainly used in machinery structures that require high precision. Instead of an intermediary medium, rolling steel balls are used between the moving and fixed components of the Linear Guide.

Feature 1: Standard Seal for the rail to prevent dirt accumulation in the mounting holes during equipment use.
Feature 2: The rail and sliding block are connected by rolling balls, minimizing wobble, making them suitable for precision-demanding equipment.
Feature 3: Point-to-surface contact results in minimal frictional resistance, achiving fine movement and precise positioning.
Feature 4: Since the balls have their own rolling grooves, the force on the rolling surface is distributed, allowing for a higher load capacity.
Feature 5: Linear Guides are less likely generate frictional heat during operation and are resistant to thermal deformation, making them suitable for high-speed motion.

■About Usage
① MISUMI Linear Guides are equipped with retainers, so steel balls are not easily dislodged when removing the sliding block. However, if the block is removed from the rail at high speed or inserted at an angle, balls may dislodge. Please disassemble and reassemble the block carefully.
②Avoid hitting the ball return cap plate, as this may disrupt ball circulation, resulting in poor sliding performance.
③For rust prevention, it is recommended to choose products with low-temperature black chrome plating or stainless steel SUS440C material.
*Currently this series do not have both low temperature block chorome plating and SUS440C models


■Maintenance (Lubricant Application)
①Lubricant forms an oil film on the surface of the balls and rail of the Linear Guides, effectively reducing friction and preventing sintering.
Decrease and aging of lubricant can significantly impact the lifespan of the Linear Guide, so please replenish lubricant as needed according to usage conditions.
MISUMI Linear Guides are pre-lubricated at the factory, so they can be used directly.
②Recommended Lubrication Interval:
