Ball Bearing Carriages and Guide Rails
Operating with less friction than sleeve and roller bearing carriages, ball bearing carriages provide accurate movement and positioning in high-speed, high-load applications. However, they don’t hold up to dusty and wet environments as well as sleeve bearing carriages. Mount in any orientation without affecting load capacity. End seals keep lubricant in and dirt out. Add optional guide rail bellows to protect the rails from contaminants as carriages move across them.
Standard carriages are narrower than flanged carriages, making them better for confined spaces.
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. Carriage and guide rail systems for 5 mm-12 mm wide rails include mounting hole plugs with the guide rails.
Note: Each carriage can only be used with its corresponding guide rail. Load capacity is diminished when carriages are mounted upside down or on a vertical surface.

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.

Corrosion-Resistant Maintenance-Free Ball Bearing Carriages and Guide Rails
Made of stainless steel, these carriages and guide rails are more corrosion resistant than steel carriages and guide rails. An internal reservoir continuously supplies grease for maintenance-free operation, making them great for hard-to-reach places. Ball bearings provide accurate movement and positioning at high speeds under heavy loads. Mount in any orientation without affecting load capacity. End seals keep lubricant in and dirt out.

High-Cycle Ball Bearing Carriages and Guide Rails
A plastic cage surrounds the ball bearings and keeps them from colliding, so these carriages run for many cycles without needing maintenance. They also run quietly, since the bearings aren’t colliding. End seals keep dust from entering, 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.

Roller Bearing Carriages and Guide Rails
With a larger contact area than ball bearing carriages, roller bearing carriages provide better positioning accuracy and support heavier loads. Mount in any orientation without affecting load capacity.
