Roller guides consist of three components: carriages, combined carrier rails, and rollers.
The components are made of aluminum, combining cost-effectiveness and robustness.
With compact and hollow carriages, carriages with bending-resistant carrier profiles, half-rails, and circular segments, the modular system offers the right components even for curved and circular guides. Furthermore, these reliable, low-wear components require little space.
Roller guides combine extremely low friction with extremely quiet operation and, thanks to their well-sealed rollers, require virtually no maintenance.
To increase resistance to moisture and aggressive media (e.g., cleaning agents), rustproof and coated versions are also available.
High speeds, quiet operation, and long axial travel: thanks to their design, roller guides are the perfect solution for handling system tasks.
The modular system, using standard components, covers a wide range of applications and enables perfectly tailored solutions.
Schaeffler‘s LF track roller guides are based on a modular principle. The modular components can be arranged and combined with accessories as needed, even to create curved and circular guides. This flexible design method also allows for a particularly robust and contamination-resistant structure, ideal for the food and beverage and packaging industries.
These low-cost linear systems can reach speeds of up to 10 meters per second.
