Precision rails with cross roller assemblies for industrial applications

Benefits

Highest possible toughness and rigidity
Applicable for higher temperature applications
Suitable for high dynamic motions

Features

Cross rollers in standard and high-capacity version
Modular with ranges at same outer dimensions
High acceleration with anti-creeping system

Cross roller assemblies for precision rail guides are widely used in the industry because of the high load-carrying capacity, rigidity and precision. In addition to the standard LWR range, Ewellix offers a high-performance range LWRE with a five times higher load carrying capacity and twice as high rigidity. The improved performance of the LWRE range is the result of larger roller diameters with optimised inner geometry at the same outer dimension.

Rails and cage types

LWR type

LWR type

LWR precision rails with an aluminium cage cross roller assembly are the ideal choice for high temperature and moderate external loads

LWRE type

LWRE type

The powerful LWRE rail guide with the plastic caged large size cross roller assembly are used in space saving high performance applications.

LWRE with ACS

LWRE with ACS

The LWRE type with ACS (Anti-Creeping-System) is a cross roller assembly with a plastic wheel against cage moving and is best for long cage length applications

LWRE with ACSM

LWRE with ACSM

The LWRE type made from stainless steel with ACSM (Anti-Creeping-System) is a cross roller assembly with a brass involute-toothed gear for dynamic high performance applications

Kit packaging

For an easy ordering process Ewellix offers kit packaging for precision rail guides. The predefined kits consists of 4 rails, 2 cages and 8 end pieces. Cross roller precision rail kit packages are available in size 3, 4 and 6, with ACS, ACSM or as standard in different length and stroke possibilities. (ACSM kits are without end pieces). The benefit is that all components for a precision slide are predefined and packed together as one product. Ordering of single components is not longer necessary. Most kits are available form stock.
