Profil Rail Systems normal and miniature
Profile rail guides in store of Smalltec are available as miniature guides from 3 mm and standard series up to 45 mm. Profile slides offer high load capacity and very high rigidity across all accuracy classes. The carriages are available in various preload classes, from clearance to high preload, so that, depending on the application, the highest positioning accuracies and stiffnesses up to low starting torque / displacement resistance can be implemented. Profile rail guides are also suitable for absorbing high loads and load torques. Smalltec also offers the profile rail guides as a lightweight system in a rust-resistant design.
Basic information on profiled rail guides:
Profile rail guides are a type of linear technology used to enable linear motion between two points with high precision and accuracy. This technology consists of a rail and a carriage, which together form a rigid guidance system. The rail is made of profiled steel or aluminum, and the carriage contains ball or roller bearings that slide along the rail.
Profile rail guides have a wide range of applications and are used in many different industries. A typical application is in the machine tool industry, where they are used for the precise movement of workpieces and tools. In this area, they are often used in combination with ball screw drives to enable accurate positioning and fast movement.
Another application of profile rail guides is in the automotive industry, where they are used to control components in vehicle assembly. They are also used in the aerospace industry to control flaps, doors, and other aircraft components.
In medical technology, profile rail guides are used to enable precise and safe movement of instruments in surgical applications.
Profile rail guides are also used in the packaging industry, for example, to control packaging machines or to move filling machines.
In measurement technology, profile rail guides are used to enable precise movement of sensors and precision measuring devices.
In electrical engineering, profile rail guides are used in the production of motors and generators to enable precise movement of components.
In the food industry, profile rail guides are used, for example, to move machines for food processing or for dosing food.
Profile rail guides are also important in heavy industry, where they are used to control large machines and equipment.
In summary, the application of profile rail guides is very broad and covers many different industries. Their precise guidance enables accurate movement of machine components and instruments, resulting in increased efficiency, productivity, and quality in manufacturing.
