FAQs

A ball bearing linear guide is a motion system using ball bearings to provide smooth, precise, and high-load movement along a rail. They offer low friction, high rigidity, and reliability, ideal for applications needing accurate positioning and minimal maintenance.

Ball bearing guides offer improved precision, reduced friction, extended service life, and increased load capacity. They are ideal for high-speed applications, ensuring smoother, quieter operation while reducing maintenance and downtime in industrial environments.

Select based on load capacity, precision, speed, and environmental needs. Models like cpc’s ARC, HRC, and ERC offer different features, including sealing options and frame sizes (from 15 mm to 55 mm). Choosing the correct size and configuration ensures optimal performance and system longevity.

The ARC and ARD series are smaller, low-size options, while the HRC and HRD series are larger, high-size models. The ARD and HRD versions come with cover strips for enhanced protection. ERC and ERD are designed for applications between size 25, offering flexibility in load and size requirements.

Ball bearing linear guides come in N, H, P, SP, and UP precision grades. These grades define the tolerance level, with N being standard and UP offering the highest accuracy, ideal for applications requiring precise positioning.

Yes, our ball bearing guides are engineered for high load capacity. With up to 30% greater load capacity than competing products, they can manage heavy loads while maintaining precision and minimizing wear, making them suitable for demanding industries.
