TYPICAL EQUIPMENTAssembly lines · Inspection systems · Material handling
THE CHALLENGEFrequent acceleration can create vibration and accumulated positioning error, reducing image consistency.
SUGGESTED APPROACHUse preloaded linear guides for rigidity, a precision ball screw on the measurement axis and a suitably selected drive with linear guides for the long transfer axis.
SELECTION FOCUSLoad · Stroke · Cycle time · Repeatability
RELEVANT PRODUCTSLinear Guides · Ball Screws · Standard Bearings
02APPLICATION EXAMPLEExample: a Cartesian robot transfers 8 kg workpieces between machining and inspection stations.
APPLICATION / 02
TYPICAL EQUIPMENTRobot arms · Gantry systems · End-of-arm tooling
THE CHALLENGECantilever load and repeated reversal place high demands on guide rigidity, bearing clearance and drive alignment.
SUGGESTED APPROACHCombine wide-block linear guides, matched angular-contact bearings and a ball screw selected for the required thrust and positioning duty.
SELECTION FOCUSMoment load · Speed · Rigidity · Peak torque
RELEVANT PRODUCTSStandard Bearings · Linear Guides · Ball Screws
03APPLICATION EXAMPLEExample: a cartoning machine runs continuous indexing during two-shift production and changes formats weekly.

TYPICAL EQUIPMENTFilling · Sealing · Labeling · Cartoning
THE CHALLENGEDust, repeated impact and short maintenance windows can cause early bearing wear and unexpected downtime.
SUGGESTED APPROACHSelect sealed bearings, robust guide blocks and standardized timing components that can be replaced quickly.
SELECTION FOCUSCycle rate · Dust · Shock load · Replacement time
RELEVANT PRODUCTSStandard Bearings · Linear Guides · Ball Screws
04APPLICATION EXAMPLEExample: a filling line adjusts nozzle spacing and product guides during frequent recipe changes.
APPLICATION / 04
TYPICAL EQUIPMENTProcessing · Conveying · Sorting · Filling
THE CHALLENGEWashdown, humidity and cleaning chemicals demand corrosion-resistant materials and protected lubrication.
SUGGESTED APPROACHUse stainless or corrosion-resistant bearings, protected guide systems and protected ball-screw and linear-guide arrangements where suitable.
SELECTION FOCUSCleaning method · Material · Sealing · Lubrication
RELEVANT PRODUCTSStainless Steel Bearings · Linear Guides · Ball Screws
05APPLICATION EXAMPLEExample: a web-printing machine adjusts roller position while maintaining stable material tension at speed.
APPLICATION / 05
TYPICAL EQUIPMENTWinding · Feeding · Printing · Cutting
THE CHALLENGEBearing runout, transmission backlash and vibration can produce registration errors and uneven winding.
SUGGESTED APPROACHUse low-noise precision bearings, low-backlash ball screws and linear guides selected for stable carriage motion.
SELECTION FOCUSRunout · Backlash · Noise · Operating speed
RELEVANT PRODUCTSStandard Bearings · Ball Screws · Linear Guides
06APPLICATION EXAMPLEExample: a compact dispensing platform repeatedly positions a workpiece beneath a vision and dispensing head.
APPLICATION / 06
TYPICAL EQUIPMENTInspection · Positioning · Dispensing · Handling
THE CHALLENGESmall travel, fine pitch and sensitive optics make lost motion, vibration and contamination especially critical.
SUGGESTED APPROACHCombine miniature preloaded guides, precision-ground ball screws and matched support bearings after tolerance review.
SELECTION FOCUSResolution · Accuracy · Vibration · Cleanliness
RELEVANT PRODUCTSCeramic Bearings · Linear Guides · Ball Screws
