Guide Rail

Hand Brake

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.

Flanged carriages have 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.

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.

Standard Carriages and Guide Rails

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.

Hand Brake

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.

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.

Guide Rail Bellows

Also known as linear way covers, these bellows install on guide rails to protect the rails as carriages move across them. They have sealed seams to keep contaminants out. Air venting may be necessary in fast-cycling applications.

Mounting kits include hook-and-loop fasteners, mounting clips, mounting flanges, screws, and tape with adhesive on both sides to support different mounting options.
