Once you determine that round rail linear guides are the ideal component for your design, your job doesn't end there. There are many options when it comes to physical form factors, grades of steel or aluminum, coatings, mounting, configurations and more. A basic understanding of these considerations could mean the difference between choosing round rail that meets your exact requirements or sends your design off the rails. In this webinar, you'll learn:
- Key shaft features that interact with one another to impact precision and durability:
- Hardness
- Straightness
- Surface finish
- Roundness
- Cylindricity.
- Unique capabilities of the most commonly used metal materials.
- Plating options that reduce wear and increase corrosion resistance.
- Mounting and support block options.
- How shaft and bearing configurations impact accuracy and durability.
