Linear Guides

NSK announced that it has developed an NH Series and an NS Series for its NSK Linear Guide (TM) lineup. NSK will launch these products in July 2014. These new linear guides achieve more than twice the life and 1.3 times the dynamic load rating compared to the conventional LH and LS Series products, which in turn improves the life of devices. Also, since these new linear guides are compact and have long life, they make it possible to downsize devices. The installation dimensions are the same as the conventional LH and LS Series products, which in turn means that the these new NH and NS Series linear guides can be used as is without changing the design of devices. In addition, options such as NSK K1 (TM) lubrication units that provide for maintenance-free operation for a long period of time and random matching parts that provide for the free combination of rails and ball slides can be used with these new linear guides. Applications include all varieties of production equipment: Material handling robots, machine tools, production equipment used for semiconductors, LCDs, automobiles, etc.
