Linear guideways with needle cages

Maximum load-bearing capacity, rigidity, and accuracy – the needle-bearing guideways type N/O and M/V with and without cage control

Our linear guideways with needle cages are available in two different types:

Type N/O
The type N/O linear guideways are equipped with needle cages and are particularly suitable for high load applications.  It also offers the same installation procedure as the types R and RN. Compared with similar needle guideways, smaller displacement resistance values are noted thanks to the use of the SCHNEEBERGER composite cage made of steel and plastic.

Typ M/V
The type M/V linear guideway is like our type N/O but differs in its external dimensions. This rolling guide is also particularly suitable for high loads and is characterized by its low displacement resistances.


Frequently Asked Questions about SCHNEEBERGER Linear Guideways Type N/O and M/V with Needle Cages

SCHNEEBERGER's linear guideways types N/O and M/V with needle cages are high-precision linear guides specifically designed for applications that require high loads and precise, low-friction movement. They are ideal for demanding industrial environments.

Linear guideways with needle cages are distinguished by their high load capacity and precision, combined with extremely low friction. They are particularly suitable for applications in the machine tool industry, automation, and semiconductor manufacturing, where stability and precise positioning are critical.

Both N/O and M/V linear guideways offer maximum stiffness and precision thanks to needle cage technology. The main difference lies in the cross-section and mounting holes, with the M/V guideways having a different cross-section compared to the N/O types.

Installation requires precise alignment and mounting according to SCHNEEBERGER's instructions. Maintenance includes regular cleaning, lubrication, and inspections to ensure proper functioning and a long service life. SCHNEEBERGER provides comprehensive guidelines for this.

These linear guideways are used in areas that demand the highest load capacity and precision, such as machine tools, robotics, precision measurement technology, and laser material processing. They are indispensable for industrial applications requiring maximum stiffness with precise movement.
