A linear guideway is a precision mechanical component designed to provide smooth, accurate, and low-friction linear motion in industrial machinery and automation systems. It consists of a rail and a slider block with recirculating balls or rollers, enabling high load capacity, rigidity, and positioning accuracy. Linear guideways are essential in applications such as CNC machines, robotics, semiconductor equipment, and medical devices, where repeatable and reliable movement is critical.
Our linear guideways come in various sizes and configurations to meet diverse industrial needs. Below is a detailed table of standard specifications:
Model Series | Rail Width (mm) | Load Capacity (N) | Accuracy Grade | Operating Temperature (°C) | Material |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
LG-S15 | 15 | 5,000 | P0 (High Precision) | -10 to 80 | Carbon Steel |
LG-S20 | 20 | 8,000 | P1 (Ultra Precision) | -20 to 100 | Stainless Steel |
LG-S25 | 25 | 12,000 | P0 (High Precision) | -10 to 80 | Carbon Steel with Coating |
LG-S30 | 30 | 15,000 | P2 (Standard Precision) | -10 to 80 | Carbon Steel |
LG-S35 | 35 | 20,000 | P1 (Ultra Precision) | -20 to 100 | Stainless Steel |

Linear guideways are versatile and used across multiple industries:
What is the typical lifespan of a linear guideway?
The lifespan depends on load, speed, and maintenance. Under normal conditions, with proper lubrication, it can last over 10,000 hours of operation. Regular inspection and cleaning can extend this further.
How do I choose the right linear guideway for my application?
Consider factors like load capacity, accuracy requirements, environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity), and space constraints. Our product table above provides a starting point; for custom needs, consult our technical support.
Can linear guideways be used in high-speed applications?
Yes, many models are designed for high speeds up to 5 m/s. Ensure proper lubrication and select models with high accuracy grades to minimize vibration and wear at high velocities.
What maintenance is required for linear guideways?
Routine maintenance includes cleaning, re-lubrication every 1,000-2,000 hours, and checking for wear or damage. Sealed versions reduce maintenance frequency in dirty environments.
Are there options for corrosive environments?
Yes, we offer stainless steel linear guideways and coatings like nickel plating or special seals to resist corrosion in chemical or marine settings.
How does temperature affect linear guideway performance?
Extreme temperatures can cause expansion or contraction, affecting accuracy. Our products are rated for specific temperature ranges (see table); for超出 ranges, discuss with our team for customized solutions.
What is the difference between ball and roller type linear guideways?
Ball types offer smoother motion and higher speeds, while roller types provide greater load capacity and rigidity. Choose based on your application's priority: speed or load.
Can I install a linear guideway myself, or do I need professional help?
Installation is straightforward with basic tools, but for high-precision applications, professional alignment is recommended to ensure optimal performance and avoid misalignment issues.
Do you provide customization for unique applications?
Yes, we offer custom lengths, coatings, seals, and mounting options. Provide your specifications, and our engineers will assist with a tailored design.
What warranties do you offer on linear guideways?
Standard warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years from purchase. Extended warranties are available for industrial use cases.
