Linear bearing type N/O
Linear bearing type N/O

The N/O linear guideway with needle bearings is designed for use with needle cages. These frictionless guideways are suitable for high load applications. Combined with tightly fitted needle bearings, this guideway exhibits the highest rigidity overall by comparison. The SCHNEEBERGER composite cage is made of plastic and steel and, compared to similar needle guideways, provides smaller displacement resistance values.

The linear guideway Type N/O by SCHNEEBERGER is a highly precise and robust solution for demanding applications where high load capacity and stiffness are required. This guideway was specifically designed for the use of needle cages and, in combination with closely packed needle bearings, offers maximum stability and low displacement resistance. This makes it particularly suitable for machines and systems that need to function reliably under intense load conditions.

Features of the Type N/O Linear Guideway

  • Maximum Stiffness: The use of closely packed needle bearings provides the Type N/O linear guideway with exceptionally high stiffness, minimizing vibrations and deformations even under heavy loads.
  • Low Displacement Resistance: The innovative composite cage made of a combination of plastic and steel reduces friction, ensuring a smoother motion compared to other needle guideways.
  • Various Sizes: The linear guideways are available in sizes 62015, 92025, 2025, 2535, 3045, and 3555 to meet different application requirements.
  • Length Options: Depending on the need, lengths between 100 mm and 2000 mm are available, allowing flexible adaptation to specific uses.

Materials and Workmanship
The Type N/O linear guideways are characterized by excellent material quality, ensuring their durability and reliability:

  • Rail: The rails are made from through-hardened tool steel 1.2842 with a hardness of 58 to 62 HRC. For applications requiring corrosion resistance, materials 1.4034 and 1.4112 are used.
  • Rolling Elements: The needles, which serve as rolling elements, are made from through-hardened bearing steel and reach a hardness of 58 to 64 HRC, extending their service life even under high loads.
  • Surface Finish: The support and contact surfaces, as well as the raceways, are finely ground, ensuring optimal guidance and minimal wear.

Sizes: 62015, 92025, 2025, 2535, 3045, 3555

Lengths: 100 to 2000 mm
