Heavy-duty Roller Rails Vs Ball Rails: Who Is More Suitable for Heavy-duty Machine Tools And Automation?

(1) Ball Guide

Point contact, low friction, fast speed and high accuracy

Medium load (usually < 50kN)

Suitable for: precision instruments, semiconductors, light-duty automation

(2) Roller Guide (Roller Guide/RG Series)

Line contact, the contact area is 3 times larger, and the rigidity and load are greatly improved

Rated dynamic load up to 500kN +, strong anti-overturning and anti-partial load

Long stroke with small deflection and 50% longer wear life

Suitable for: heavy machine tools, gantries, presses, stackers, heavy-duty AGVs, metallurgical equipment
