1. Load Capacity & Rigidity
Dynamic/Static Load Analysis:
Vertical load determines rail cross-section (e.g., 15mm for light load to 76mm for heavy load).
Lateral force compensation requires ≥2 sliders spaced ≥30mm apart.
Preload Selection:
Medium preload (Z0) for general use, high preload (Z1) for heavy-duty applications.
2. Precision Grades
Grade | Positioning Error (μm/m) | Typical Applications |
---|---|---|
Standard (C) | ±50 | Packaging machines, conveyors |
Precision (P) | ±15 | CNC machines, semiconductor equipment |
Ultra-Precision (SP) | ±5 | Lithography, metrology systems |
3. Environmental Adaptability
Protection Measures:
Scraper plates for dusty environments; stainless steel for humidity >80%.
Lubrication Solutions:
Graphite-embedded bearings (e.g., 0.1-0.2 friction coefficient) for maintenance-free operation.
4. Installation & Maintenance
Surface Requirements:
Mounting roughness ≤Ra3.2, flatness ≤0.02mm/100mm.
Anti-Derailment Design:
Mechanical stops at both ends, with safety travel ≥slider length.
Note: For SCS30 compatibility, verify interface tolerances and lubrication compatibility. Finite element analysis is recommended for extreme load validation.
