Modern machine elements such as high performance linear guidance systems require very little maintenance thanks to targeted lubricant supply and effective seals. Under certain conditions, complete freedom from maintenance can even be achieved.
In order to achieve this, the Linear Technology Division of INA-Schaeffler KG, the globally acknowledged and market-leading specialist for linear guidance systems, has developed its existing accessories and newly developed subassemblies into a "modular concept KIT" that can be used to equip, for example, ball monorail guidance systems KUVE.. to fulfil the requirements of the individual application. The focus here is on the individual nature of the application, since the decisive factor as always is the particular area in which linear guidance systems are used. On the subject of lubrication, the KUVE system can in conjunction with long term lubrication units (LZV) and thanks to the integral lubricant reservoirs to achieve "maintenance-free" systems depending on the application conditions.
So far, so good. While lubrication is thus well provided for, however, linear guidance systems are subjected to a large number of requirements as a result of the area of application and ambient conditions that can only be met by means of a highly developed sealing system. With the unique sealing system in the "modular concept KIT" for ball monorail guidance systems KUVE.., INA offers both the designer and the user a standard that provides the option of a well-matched and economical solution based on compatible elements.
The design and modification of linear guidance systems KUVE.. with the KIT can be carried out on the basis of various criteria, such as the level of contamination:
Product Model | Inside Diameter | Outside Diameter | Thickness |
PCJ1-3/8 bearing | 34.925 | 118.5 | 50.4 |
PCJ1-1/4 bearing | 31.75 | 118.5 | 50.4 |
