Linear Guideways

Ball chain linear guideways are widely used throughout industry in machine building and come in widths of 15-55 mm and lengths of up to 4 m. They are very accurate and can handle high load capacities, providing smooth, consistent linear motion. The hardened steel ball bearing rails also offer a unique ball cage in the carriages. A historical issue for this type of system was that the balls would accidentally be lost from the carriage if someone removed it from the rail - unfortunately rendering it useless and a new carriage required. With our ball cage versions this issue is eliminated, saving you money and time.
