Linear Guideways
Linear guideways from SCHNEEBERGER always stand for high quality. Our customers are leaders in the fields of semiconductors and electronics, automation and handling, metrology, optics, medical or biotechnology. With a broad standard offering of linear guideways, we already cover a large portion of the application areas.

Profile Guideways
The highly precise profile guideways (roller or ball MONORAIL guideways) are used worldwide by SCHNEEBERGER in mechanical engineering for a wide range of applications: from simple handling tasks to heavy-duty machining processes.

Guide Rails
All our guide rails are available in different sizes and performance classes. If you do not find what you need in the standard catalog, we also offer customer-specific solutions with customized products.

Cross Roller Guideways
As the world's first standardized anti-friction guideway, the R-linear guideway / cross roller guideway, as well as the ball guideway, was introduced by SCHNEEBERGER. Cross roller and ball guideways perform reliably in the medium to high-performance range.
They are available in three quality classes.

Frequently Asked Questions about SCHNEEBERGER Linear Guideways

The differences between types R, RN, and RNG lie in their load capacity, raceways, and stiffness:

R: The standard type for versatile applications. This guideway is available in various sizes and can be equipped with both rollers and balls.

RN: This variant offers higher load capacity and stiffness. It has the same dimensions as type R but includes the option for cage control to improve performance.

RNG: This type has a lower cross-section than R and RN but still provides high precision and stiffness. It is preferred for applications with limited installation space.

N/O: The needle cage guideway offers maximum stiffness, ideal for short-stroke applications. It is also available with cage control.

M/V: These guideways are similar to the N/O models but differ in cross-section and mounting holes.

The N/O and M/V linear guideways serve the same application areas but differ in cross-section and the type of mounting holes. Both product lines offer high stiffness and load capacity and are equipped with needle cages.

The different product lines are designed for specific applications:

R type: Universally applicable, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, such as in automation.

RN type: Ideal for precision applications with high stiffness requirements, such as in medical technology or the semiconductor industry.

RNG type: Optimal for applications with limited installation space and high precision requirements, such as in optics or electronics manufacturing.

N/O type: Recommended for demanding industrial applications where maximum stiffness and load are required.

M/V type: Similar to the N/O type but with a slightly modified cross-section and different mounting options.
