Realizing outstanding motion accuracy wit ig rigidity and load capacity ig-accuracy Series ig-performance linear guides, A ype and S ype rends toward iger performance and enanced quality of electronics equipment and precision instruments ave been accelerating. At te same time, demand as been growing for igly precise production systems tat manufacture suc equipment and instruments. NS strives to always stay aead of competition by providing te industry wit products tat keep pace wit trends and needs of te times. Part of tese products are te ig-performance linear guides, ig- Accuracy Series. e innovative design makes full use of NS s world-class proprietary tecnologies to acieve ig motion accuracy, ig rigidity and ig load capacity wile reducing frictional resistance. e ig-accuracy Series is available for macine tools suc as macining centers and ig-precision lates, as well as for ig-precision instruments for manufacturing semi-conductors and liquid crystal displays, among oter applications, all of wic are required to meet te ever-increasing demand for iger accuracy. ese linear guides are terefore well-suited for a broad variety of macinery and equipment tat are expected to deliver ig-level performance. eatures ig-performance linear guides, ig-accuracy Series ig-accuracy Series Dust proof seals igly dust-tigt end seals, bottom seals, and inner seals are built-in as standard features, facilitating long-term macining capability wit ig accuracy. ig. 1 itting positions of eac seal 1. ig motion accuracy ig motion accuracy is acieved in bot narrow and wide ranges by adopting ultra-long ball s and optimum design features for te ball recirculation component. 2. all passage vibration reduced to one-tird of our conventional models ests sow ball passage vibration as been reduced to one-tird of our conventional models, dramatically improving table straigtness. 3. Installation of rail wit greater accuracy Increased counterbore dept of te rail mounting ole reduces rail deflection, wic is caused by bolt tigtening wen fixing te rail to te base component, to 5% or less. is feature restrains te pitcing motion of ball wose frequency matces to te mounting ole pitc. In addition, te lengt of mounting ole pitc as been reduced by onealf of te conventional models, so te rail can be more accurately installed in position. Inner seals nd seals ottom seals A ype applications e A ype linear guides feature improved dust resistance and are ideal for suc macines as macining centers, ig-precision lates and grinding macines, for wic iger motion accuracy is required. In addition, tey are suitable for discarge macines because of teir low friction and ig rigidity. 4. ig rigidity and load capacity wit lower friction ig rigidity, ig load capacity and low friction are acieved by increasing te number of balls. 5. Compact design Reduced body size enables more compact macinery. able 1 xamples of ig-accuracy Series applications (based on actual results) Application Adverse effects from ball passage vibration Advantages of ig-accuracy Series Macining center, grinding macine, dicer, and slicer Coater (linear motion type) Plastics processing equipment ig-precision table Poor finis of worked surface Uneven coated surface of resist law nearly twice as large as ball diameter in pitc occurs in worked surface Deterioration in motion accuracy of table Ultra-long ball s control posture canges in bearing wic may be caused by ball passage vibration and rail waviness. Optimum design of ball recirculation components enables te ball to move smootly and restrain ball passage vibration. Deep counterbore of mounting ole for rail contributes to reducing possible rail deformation and restricting ball pitcing motion. ow friction, compact size Stainless steel models are also available In order to flexibly meet a variety of needs, stainless steel models tat are igly resistant to corrosion are also optionally available. S ype applications e S ype linear guides place special empasis on lower frictional resistance and compactness and are terefore best suited for dicers, slicers and various manufacturing devices for semi-conductors and liquid crystal displays, for wic ig-grade accurate surface finis operations are required, including measuring instruments for making igly accurate measurements. 1 2
