the basic design comprises the ml/v guideway pair with an adjusting gib and angled needle roller flat cages. These guidance systems are preloaded using the gib; the gib applies the preload uniformly over the whole length of the guideway. The pitch of the gib surface is 1,5%. When the gib is moved by 1 mm, the height changes by 15 µm. The guideways are supplied in grades q6 and q10.
the cages used are double row angled needle roller flat cages made from metal or plastic.
m/v guideways with integral toothed rack and angled flat cage
the basic design comprises the m/v guideway pair with an integral toothed rack and angled needle roller flat cages with an integral gear. This variant is used where there is a risk of cage creep, for example in designs with non-uniform rigidity in the guidance area or where the cage does not regularly move to the end positions. The guideways are supplied in grades q2, q6 and q10.
the cages are made from metal, are of double row design and are subject to positive control by the integral gear.
