When to use dual guide rails for linear motion?
When dual guide rails with two bearings each are used, only downward (Fr) and side (Fs) forces are induced; no pitch, roll, or yaw moments. Many linear actuator designs include two rails in parallel, with the drive mechanism—belt, screw, or linear motor—incorporated between the rails.
When to use dual guide rails with two bearings?
When dual guide rails with one bearing each are used, no roll moments (Mr) are induced; only pitch (Mp) and yaw (My) moments. When dual guide rails with two bearings each are used, only downward (Fr) and side (Fs) forces are induced; no pitch, roll, or yaw moments.
How are shafts mounted on a guide rail?
Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails. Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.
What kind of pins are used for alignment fixtures?
Spring-Loaded Guide Pins As the workpiece pushes against the pin head in one direction, the internal spring pushes back to hold it in place for clamping. Sealed Spring-Loaded Guide Pins Sealed at the top to prevent debris from getting inside and making them seize up, these guide pins are a good choice for machining fixtures.

How do you Mount linear motion guide rails?
Mount to vertical surfaces for applications where tight tolerances aren’t required. A handle on the side of the carriage locks the carriage in place. For applications with low clearance, these carriages protrude less than 5 mm above their rails. Mate with a T-slotted rail to add linear motion to your assembly.
How does a guide rail system get installed?
The supplied top rail support is to be mounted to the hatch frame. Intermediate brackets are available for deep installations. It is recommended that a intermediate stabilizer support bracket be ordered separately and used for each 15 feet of basin depth (20 feet for the 2.5″/3″ systems).
