Miniature guideway with integrated distance measuring system – all-in-one
The MINIRAIL profile linear guideway with the MINISCALE PLUS integrated distance measuring system impresses with its precision and robust design. This product was developed for high speeds and accelerations in the work process and is used in a variety of high-tech sectors.
MINISCALE PLUS is based on the time-tested MINIRAIL miniature guideway. The innovative embedding of ball recirculation in the carriage allows speeds of up to 5 m/s and accelerations of up to 300 m/s2. Thanks to a combination with the integrated MINISCALE PLUS distance measuring system, the "Guide" and "Measure" functions can be ideally linked to each other in a compact manner.
As the MINISCALE PLUS measuring system is integrated into the SCHNEEBERGER MINIRAIL miniature guideway, no applications are needed for separate, additional distance measuring systems. The design is considerably simplified with fewer components. There is also less space required, allowing for a more compact design. Since MINISCALE PLUS is also…

SCHNEEBERGER MINISLIDE MSQscale - A resolution of 0.1 µm
MINISLIDE MSQscale is the tested and proven miniature guideway from SCHNEEBERGER that is equipped with an integrated and innovative distance measuring system. The system combines the functions of guiding and measuring in a single step for maximum precision and reliability. The optical incremental measuring system offers an impressive resolution of 0.1 µm. MINISLIDE MSQscale also features a ready-to-install, compact and robust design for simple and quick installation on the customer side.
Thanks to its unique, robust design, the MINISLIDE MSQ is particularly suitable for applications with high speeds and acceleration. The cage control, which is directly integrated in rail and carriage, keeps the cage in position at all times, enabling speeds of up to 3 m/s and accelerations of up to 300 m/s2. Thanks to the small diameter of its rolling elements, the MINISLIDE MSQ is also particularly suitable for applications with very small strokes.
MINISLIDE MSQ has a unique circular arch profile…
SCHNEEBERGER Recirculating units - Unlimited stroke with linear motion
Recirculating units support high-precision, rigid and compact structures with unlimited travel. They are used as standard with linear guideways of type R or RD and offer a high level of accuracy and rigidity with an unlimited stroke. Applications for normal working environments, cleanrooms, or in a vacuum. Suitable sizes and versions for small to heavy loads with the possibility to even correct minor angular errors.
SCHNEEBERGER recirculating units are available in sizes 1-12 and come in various lengths. Types SK and SKD (with damping elements from size 6) are suitable for small to medium loads. For medium to high loads, the best choice is the recirculating unit type SR with cross rollers. The type SKC with ceramic and Teflon balls is suitable for use in vacuum and cleanroom applications, as well as for dry runs.
The type NRT is a roller recirculating unit designed for medium to heavy loads. Thanks to two independent tracks, optimized roller geometry, and with very little play in the…
SCHNEEBERGER slides - maximum accuracy and reliability
For decades, SCHNEEBERGER has been supplying frictionless tables to meet the high demand for precision. Based on our standardized cross-roller guideways, they offer outstanding smoothness. For decades, SCHNEEBERGER has been supplying frictionless tables to meet the high demand for precision. Based on our standardized cross-roller guideways, they offer outstanding smoothness.
MINISLIDE MSQ are miniature guideways that offer maximum precision and speed. MINISLIDE MSQ has a unique circular arch profile with four tracks for maximum rigidity and smoothness.
The NDN miniature frictionless table has a 90° V track profile for outstanding smoothness. The integrated U-cage minimizes cage creep. MINISLIDE MS has a Gothic track profile with the same dimensions, which significantly increases the load capacity and makes the component more robust.
