MINIRAIL - Miniature profiled guideway

NEW: MINIRAIL SIZE 5

This new innovative, as well as patented ball deflection guarantees perfect, fine running behaviour for speeds up to 3 m/s and accelerations up to 250 m/s².

Maintenance free guideways - lubricant reservoir directly integrated into MINIRAIL carriages

MINIRAIL represents the latest generation of miniature guideways for sophisticated applications. They are extremely robust. Their smooth running precision and reliability are demonstrated in every application.

MINIRAIL carriages with long-term lubrication LUBE-S

MINIRAIL - the range of high-precision guideways

The design, material selection and surface finish of the recirculation element and ball entry zone, guarantee low pulsation and therefore a smooth ride.

The range includes eight rail widths which can be combined with up to four carriage sizes.

Short carriage version (Order code MNNS). The best choice for restricted installation spaces.

Customer benefits of the short carriage:

The compact, short carriage is ideally suited to small installation spaces
Consistently high level of accuracy
Long lifetime
