Linear guide type is the first choice in many industrial applications because they are durable and they can withstand a wide range of loads. Another main advantage of this system is that there is only a little friction between blocks and rails. It enables high accuracy in the blocks. Equal loading in four directions and sufficient preload provide high rigidity to the linear guide. When you are choosing a linearführungthere are different things that you should look for. It helps you to avoid some systems and choose the right one.
You should always troubleshoot a system before start using it. Regularly machinery such as corrosion of the rail or wear can occur within the linear guide. If you use the system without the proper care then it does not helps your application. The damages occur on the system because of the poor care system, a lot of misalignment, or poor lubrication. You could find an easy way to troubleshoot the problems. Clean and care for the blocks and ensure the system is installed as per the manual guidance.
Consider the cost:Usually, the price of the system is dependent upon the size and material of the guides. When your application requires a higher load capacity, then you need to choose a block with a higher load capacity. The price of the linearführung depends on the wider of the block or longer the rails that you choose.
Required maintenance:Next, you have to check the required maintenance for the particular blocks. Some of the blocks come equipped with a lubrication mechanism. So, you do not need much maintenance for these blocks. You could easily maintain the block by refilling the grease lubrication when required. Regular cleaning helps to maintain your system from unwanted debris. Hence, by considering these factors you could maintain and increase the lifetime of the linear rails.
