Linear guideways and profile guideways

Linear Guideways

Linear guideways from SCHNEEBERGER always stand for the highest precision and quality, making them ideal for applications in areas such as semiconductors and electronics, automation, handling, metrology, optics, as well as medical and biotechnology. Our linear technology provides reliable solutions for demanding requirements and is available in a comprehensive standard range that already covers a wide variety of applications.

Our linear guideways and linear systems are designed for high-load applications and offer exceptional rigidity and load capacity thanks to the combination of needle bearings and advanced materials. They minimize vibrations and deformations even under high loads, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding conditions. The use of plastic-steel composite cages reduces displacement resistance, leading to smoother and more efficient operation.

SCHNEEBERGER offers linear technology in various sizes and lengths to meet the diverse requirements of the industry. Length options range from 100 mm to 2000 mm, providing the necessary flexibility for numerous applications. Our linear guideways are made of high-strength tool steel, ensuring long service life with a hardness of 58 to 62 HRC. For corrosion-prone environments, we use special corrosion-resistant materials. The rolling elements are made of through-hardened bearing steel, which also ensures high durability. Finely ground raceways minimize friction and maximize wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting and precise guidance.

These characteristics make SCHNEEBERGER linear guideways the ideal solution for applications that require high load capacity, rigidity, and precision.

Profile Guideways
The highly precise profile guideways (roller or ball MONORAIL guideways) are used worldwide by SCHNEEBERGER in mechanical engineering for a wide range of applications: from simple handling tasks to heavy-duty machining processes.

Guide Rails
All our guide rails are available in different sizes and performance classes. If you do not find what you need in the standard catalog, we also offer customer-specific solutions with customized products.

Cross Roller Guideways
As the world's first standardized anti-friction guideway, the R-linear guideway / cross roller guideway, as well as the ball guideway, was introduced by SCHNEEBERGER. Cross roller and ball guideways perform reliably in the medium to high-performance range. These proven roller guideways are particularly used in mechanical engineering, where they ensure maximum precision and load capacity. The roller guideway mechanical engineering solutions from SCHNEEBERGER are available in three quality classes and offer an optimal combination of smooth running, stability, and durability.
