INA linear guides are designed to handle significant loads, ensuring stability and reliability in demanding applications. Made from high-grade materials, INA linear guides are built to last, providing long-term performance even under heavy usage. INA offers a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet different application needs, from compact setups to large industrial systems.
INA, a brand of Schaeffler, offers linear guidance systems (monorail guidance) consisting of:
These assemblies enable linear motion with precision, stiffness, load capacity, and, in many cases, support long travels.
Ball guides (KUVE, KUSE, KWVE, etc.): Lower friction, higher speed, smooth running, but lower stiffness vs. rollers.
Roller guides (RUE series): Higher rigidity, better for heavy loads and moments, but generally slower than ball systems.
Consider:
Load capacity (static/dynamic).
Moments (torque loads) if the carriage is offset.
Rigidity/stiffness requirements.
Speed and acceleration requirements.
Space/installation dimensions.
Yes. Often multiple carriages are mounted on the same rail to increase load capacity or to stabilize a moving platform.
