MONORAIL BZ is a compact, integrated assembly consisting of a 4-way ball guided profile rail guideway and a rack and pinion drive system. The combination of "guiding" and "drive" in one product offers the user the following advantages. The individual characteristic features of the two individual components are completely maintained. One-piece assembly lengths up to 6000 mm. The guideway component provides the best running properties, a high load-bearing capacity and service life in conjunction with a large number of carriage types, executions and accessories. The hardened and ground gearing of the drive component represents the highest quality and accuracy. Matching pinions are also available. The design effort is minimized compared to individual components, as the guideway, rack and pinion are already perfectly matched to each other. Compared to individual components, the required installation space is significantly smaller. This enables performance-optimized designs. The…

MONORAIL MR 4x roller-guided profiled linear guideways are synonymous with maximum quality and guaranteed functionality. Outstanding degrees of rail straightness, accurate machining and high mechanical load capacity distinguish MONORAIL MR profiled guideways as an efficient, extremely robust quality solution for demanding applications requiring the most stringent demands for accuracy, such as for tooling machines. The product portfolio is comprised of 23 different combinations of rail size and shape as well as 33 different carriage configurations, offering the greatest possible design flexibility. MONORAIL MR can optionally be equipped with a tried-and-tested, integrated distance measuring system, thus contributing significantly to the total cost of ownership (TCO). With experience gained from installing thousands of guideways in the field, we have given MONORAIL MR 4S carriages a comprehensive design upgrade and further improved the following four product features. Serviceability…

The standard length of a gear rack is usually 1000 mm. During assembly, these are installed one after the other. This inevitably leads to tolerances that are reflected in the form of a pitch error, which in turn leads to increased wear. With increasing axle length and the associated increasing number of gear racks to be installed, this error becomes even greater. Gear racks from SCHNEEBERGER, on the other hand, are available in lengths of up to 3000 mm (2000 mm for Q5). The main benefit is Fewer gear racks have to be installed per machine axis. This reduces installation time. By reducing the number of gear racks required, the pitch error is minimized, thus increasing the service life. Furthermore, SCHNEEBERGER gear racks feature the option of any desired cross-section with different types of attachments, entirely according to the customer's requirements. The excellent performance – and technical superiority – of SCHNEEBERGER gear racks are due to careful manufacturing, the…

Whether the load is 80 grams or 30 tons, SCHNEEBERGER Mineralgusstechnik products offer unbeatable customer benefits. For many years, mineral casting, a "modern material", has represented an alternative to parts made from grey cast iron or steel and is nowadays the superior technology for a vast number of applications. Mineral casting has made new and innovative applications possible in electronics and in the medical devices sector. It is also the technology of the future - CO2 savings per ton of mineral casting are an incredible 1.4 tons of CO2 in comparison to grey cast iron/steel. This is testimony of our goals within our environmental agenda. SCHNEEBERGER Mineragusstechnik saved 15,000 tons of CO2 in 2018 – to the benefit of us all. SCHNEEBERGER Mineralgusstechnik is one of the world's leading manufacturers of mineral casting. It offers innovative and high-precision mineral casting solutions while also making significant contributions to the "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO) of…

The MINIRAIL profiled linear guideway with the MINISCALE PLUS integrated distance measuring system impresses with its precision and robust design. This product was developed for high speeds and accelerations in the work process and is used in a variety of high-tech sectors. MINISCALE PLUS is based on the time-tested MINIRAIL miniature guideway. The innovative embedding of ball recirculation in the carriage allows speeds of up to 5 m/s and accelerations of up to 300 m/s2. Thanks to a combination with the integrated MINISCALE PLUS distance measuring system, the "Guide" and "Measure" functions can be ideally linked to each other in a compact manner. As the MINISCALE PLUS measuring system is integrated into the SCHNEEBERGER MINIRAIL miniature guideway, no applications are needed for separate, additional distance measuring systems. The design is considerably simplified with fewer components. There is also less space required, allowing for a more compact design. Since MINISCALE PLUS is…

MINIRAIL is the latest gener MINIRAIL is the latest generation of miniature guideways for demanding applications. It is extremely robust and proves itself in every application due to its smooth running action, precision and reliability. ation of miniature guideways for demanding applications. It is extremely robust and proves itself in every application due to its smooth running action, precision and reliability. The high-precision MINIRAIL miniature guideway is small in size but large in terms of its possibilities. Newly available in size 5, which means even more perfect and finer running behavior thanks to the patented redirection unit.  The LUBE-S long-term lubrication for MINIRAIL carriages facilitates uninterrupted, long-lasting and safe use. The ingenious LUBE-S long-term lubrication is an integrated lubricant reservoir. More
