Steel Profiles and Forgings for Linear Motion
Rail and carriage profiles for linear guides and sliding systems.
What Goes Wrong in This Sector
- Grinding raceways out of plain bar wastes material and wheels
- Long rails delivered bent add a straightening step
- Mixed grades give inconsistent hardening depth
What a Supplier Has To Get Right
- Profiles in induction hardening and case hardening steels
- Straightness that suits long rails
- Prismatic trapezoidal and complex geometry sections
What We Supply to Linear Motion
Capability 1
Profiles are used to produce both the rails and the carriages of linear guides, generally in carbon steels, induction hardening alloy steels and case hardening steels.
Capability 2
Sliding systems use prismatic, trapezoidal or complex geometry guides in bearing steel such as 100Cr6, case hardening steel such as Cf53, and carbon steel.
Capability 3
Telescopic slideways use U shaped profiles and cursor sections, with or without the housing for ball bearings, in carbon steels and CrMo alloys.
