Product Description
Schneeberger RNG Type Linear Guideways: Precision in Compact Form
Schneeberger's RNG Type linear guideways are a refined evolution of the standard R type, offering enhanced performance in applications where space and weight constraints are paramount. These guideways are engineered to provide high precision and rigidity, making them ideal for dynamic and compact systems.
Key Features of RNG Type Linear Guideways
-
Compact Cross-Section: The RNG guideways feature a smaller cross-section compared to the R and RN types, allowing for minimal installation space and weight optimization. This design is particularly advantageous in applications with limited space.
-
High Load Capacity: Despite their compact size, RNG guideways are designed to handle high loads, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.
-
Enhanced Stiffness: The guideways are engineered to offer increased stiffness, which is crucial for maintaining precision under varying load conditions.
-
Roller Bearings: Utilizing roller bearings, RNG guideways provide smooth and low-friction motion, contributing to reduced wear and extended service life.
-
Integrated Cage Control: Optional FORMULA-S cage control can be incorporated to prevent cage creep, ensuring consistent performance over time.
