Profile Guideway with Rollers – MONORAIL MR

High rigidity, large dynamic and static load capacity, smooth running, and all-round sealing of the carriage are the main features of the anti-friction guideway MONORAIL MR.

Profile Guideways with Balls – MINIRAIL and MONORAIL BM

The precision miniature profile guideway MINIRAIL is particularly suitable for industrial and laboratory automation. The MONORAIL BM ball guideways, on the other hand, are reliable components for a wide range of applications across the entire industrial spectrum. In applications such as food machinery, medical technology, cleanroom or vacuum applications, the MONORAIL BM WR/SR products ensure smooth, clean, precise, and long-lasting operation of linear axes.

Profile Guideways with Integrated Gear Racks – MONORAIL BZ

SCHNEEBERGER's MONORAIL BZ systems are highly precise linear guideways with integrated rack-and-pinion drives based on the proven MONORAIL BM profile guideways with balls. The advantages of integrating profile guideways and a highly accurate rack-and-pinion drive are mainly evident in handling and automation industries, laser and water jet cutting machines, and woodworking machinery.

Profile Guideway with Integrated Measuring System

The MONORAIL AMSD 4B, AMSA 4B, AMSD 3B, AMSA 3B, and AMSA 3L products are integrated magneto-resistive linear measuring systems with rollers or balls, available in analog or digital versions.

Roller Profile Guideway with Integrated Magneto-resistive Measuring System

The product MONORAIL AMSABS is also an integrated magneto-resistive measuring system. The AMSABS 3B is based on a roller profile guideway, while the AMSABS 4B is based on a ball profile guideway. The MONORAIL AMSABS 3L is an integrated absolute position measuring system.

Optical, Incremental Measuring System

MSQscale is an optical, incremental measuring system consisting of the MINISLIDE MSQ guideway system and other components. The MINISCALE PLUS measuring system is based on the miniature guideway MINIRAIL and was developed for high speeds and accelerations in the work process.

Frequently Asked Questions about SCHNEEBERGER Profile Guideways

SCHNEEBERGER profile guideways are compact, ready-to-install linear guidance systems, consisting of a profile rail and a rolling-guided carriage with closed recirculating rolling elements. They enable low-friction, backlash-free, and precise movement in the longitudinal direction and absorb forces and moments from all directions. Additionally, they can also fulfill driving and measuring functions through integrated gear racks and measuring systems.

The SCHNEEBERGER MONORAIL roller guideway offers high rigidity, large load capacity, smooth running, and all-round sealing of the carriage. This enables better form accuracy and surface quality, as well as longer tool life, making it particularly economical and powerful for modern mechanical engineering.

The SCHNEEBERGER MONORAIL ball guideway BM is characterized by excellent dynamic properties and high cost-effectiveness. Thanks to optimized design, it achieves smooth running, low friction, and high travel speeds. Additionally, the trapezoidal rail profile ensures high rigidity and reduced maintenance requirements.

The accuracy of SCHNEEBERGER MONORAIL guideways significantly determines the precision of the entire machine. Various accuracy classes allow for adaptation to specific requirements. Tolerances and running accuracy are detailed in the product catalog.

Preloading ensures backlash-free operation and increases the rigidity of the guideway. However, it also influences the service life and resistance to movement. SCHNEEBERGER offers profile guideways in different preload classes, depending on the dynamic load rating.

The overall rigidity depends on the guide components and the surrounding structure. It is a key selection criterion for SCHNEEBERGER MONORAIL guideways and is presented in diagram form in the product catalog for tensile and compressive force directions.

Adequate lubrication is essential for the function and service life of guideways. It reduces friction, protects against corrosion, minimizes running noise, and can also serve additional functions such as dissipating heat. Regular re-lubrication is necessary.

Seals protect the guide carriages from foreign substances and prevent the loss of lubricants. Transverse and longitudinal wipers ensure sealing in the direction of movement, and additional scrapers can be used in cases of heavy contamination.

SCHNEEBERGER offers coated profile guideways with high corrosion resistance. For particularly demanding applications where corrosion must be avoided, the MONORAIL BM WR/SR products are available in corrosion-resistant steel.

Yes, SCHNEEBERGER offers linear guideways with integrated rack-and-pinion drives. These systems are space-saving, easier to install, and offer economic advantages by eliminating the need for separate gear racks. Typical applications can be found in the fields of automation and mechanical engineering.

The service life is determined by the distance traveled under a defined load before material fatigue occurs. The calculation is based on the dynamic load rating, the equivalent load, and the shape of the rolling elements.
