Designed for use on horizontal surfaces, the contact angle of the ball bearings on the rail allows these carriages to last longer than other carriages. The ball bearings operate with less friction than sleeve and roller bearing carriages to provide accurate movement and positioning at high speeds under heavy loads. However, they’re worse than sleeve bearings in dusty and wet environments. A plastic cage separates the ball bearings to minimize noise, reduce heat buildup, and eliminate ball collisions. End seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.

Flanged carriages have mounting holes on the flanges rather than the carriage body, so you can fasten loads from both the top and bottom.

For made-to-order guide rails, please specify the length of the rail (in 1 mm increments). The mounting holes will be centered along the rail.

Add a hand brake to lock carriages in position. To install, fasten the brake to the same mounting surface as your carriage.

Mounting hole plugs protect mounting fasteners from corrosion.

Run many cycles in tight spaces before replacing or re-greasing carriages. These low-profile carriages have a plastic cage surrounding the ball bearings to keep them from colliding with each other. This reduces the noise, heat, friction, and dust they produce, so carriages can travel back and forth along the rail many times. The cage also traps grease around the balls and makes sure they roll in the same direction. Ball bearings provide accurate movement and positioning at high speeds under heavy loads. Made of stainless steel, all of these carriages and guide rails are corrosion resistant. Each carriage has end seals to keep lubricant in and dirt out.

With a plastic cage that surrounds the ball bearings to prevent them from colliding, these extra-wide carriages run quietly for many cycles without needing maintenance. All of these carriages have a wide base and low-profile design to stabilize moment (twisting) and off-center loads better than other carriages. They’re good for use in areas where multiple carriages or rails won't fit. End seals keep dust out, and the cage traps lubricant around the bearings, reducing friction and heat buildup. Ball bearings provide accurate movement and positioning at high speeds under heavy loads. Mount in any orientation without affecting load capacity.

Standard carriages are narrower than flanged carriages, making them better for confined spaces.

Flanged have four threaded mounting holes on the flanges rather than the carriage body, so you can fasten loads from both the top and bottom. When fastening from the bottom, use the mounting hole as a through-hole.
