LINEAR RAIL WRC

Ball chain as option

Wide linear rail guides with optional ball chain for all sizes. The WRC system has the four steel ball rows in a O-type arrangement which gives a 45-degree contact angle to the rail, which in turn achieves an equally high load capacity in all four directions. The linear rail guides also have larger and more steel balls that increase the load capacity, moment, and torsional stiffness.

Quiet operation and extended service life with ball chain

Rail guide with ball chain keep the balls separated within the slider and offers high contact area between balls and ball chain, which keeps the lubricant film intact and provides a low noise level with extended service life. The ball chain does not affect the dimensions of the slider, so they can be used on the same type of rails.

Dustproof design

The completely sealed design helps prevent dust ingress and reduce lubricant loss, often resulting in extended service life.

Reinforcement plate

The L-shaped stainless-steel reinforcement plates with bottom latches help cover and strengthen the end caps, allowing high-speed/stronger impact applications.

Ceramic balls with several advantages

In cooperation with CeramicSpeed we offer an upgrade of your system with ceramic balls and/or coating solutions. Ceramic Speed’s long-life coatings provide extremely high corrosion resistance and wear and friction-suppressant properties. Ceramic balls are non-corrosive and lightweight and give high durability.
