Linear Guide Solutions

When we require solutions about linear movements, surely you know some products, but we may not take into account all the solutions we have at our disposal.

First of all we must know  the ball screws, which as we can deduce, it is a  linear actuator responsible for converting the circular or rotational movement, in linear movement, always with the minimum loss of friction. It is like a screw, which can be found in different sizes and diameters, and has multiple applications, either in presses, jaws, milling machines or hydraulic gates.

Another solution we find for linear movement  are linear guides, devices widely used in the industry, but of which there are surely many details that we do not know, or that we overlook.

First of all, we must know that we can find linear guides in very  short lengths, and in very large ones, of more than 2 meters, which shows us that they can cover a very large range of motion, depending on our specific needs.

The main characteristic  of the linear guides is that they will help us to achieve the translation between pieces, always with the minimum loss of friction, and in addition, they will also be able to withstand the forces acting in a direction perpendicular to their placement.

Another aspect that we must know is that we can find different linear guidance systems, depending on how it carries out the translation between pieces, distinguishing between three large groups.

First, we find  the linear contact guides, in which the contact of these guides and the other body is direct, although it is possible that between both there is some type of coating to further minimize the friction between them.

Secondly, we find  the linear guides with bearings, which are all those that use  rollers, also called balls, rollers or wheels, which are between the two solid bodies, being responsible for reducing friction between them.

Finally, we find the hydrostatic linear guides, in which between the two bodies instead of finding a solid component, we find some type of fluid under pressure, which can be for example air or oil. This fluid will prevent the two bodies from coming into contact, thereby reducing friction.

Different types of linear guides

As for the  linear guides, first of all we must mention the linear guides of rollers, whether flat, Gothic arch or type V. All of them are widely used to carry out all kinds of guides that require resistance, with a simple and economical installation and with simple maintenance.

We must also talk about ball recirculation guides, which have a very simple assembly, being one of the most popular solutions in the industry.

Another  widely used linear guide is the roller recirculation, among which we differentiate  the prismatic guide with skid and the cross roller guide. Both are widely used in those sectors where very heavy machinery is used.

The friction guides are the  next on the list, and we must emphasize that they are the oldest used in engineering, being very popular in mechanisms that present few movements.

We also find the linear guides of air bearings, which have a simple mechanism, offering excellent precision of movement.

Finally, we will talk about hydrostatic guides, widely popular in machine tool applications. These guides focus their operation on the fact that the space between the guide and the skid has been filled with an oil film, making friction but without physical contact between the parts.
