Ceramic recirculating ball bearing guides

Ceramic recirculating ball bearing guides open up new possibilities in many industrial applications and solve problems that have previously been difficult to solve:

 

  • in precision mechanical engineering,
  • when used in vacuum, clean room or magnetic field areas,
  • in medical devices,
  • in cryogenics as well as
  • in machines for semiconductor production:

 

the outstanding properties of the ceramic materials used, in combination with high precision, set new standards.

In contrast to sliding guides, recirculating ball guides are equipped with rolling elements (balls), which lead to a significant reduction in friction. The material-related properties of rolling elements and raceways made of technical ceramics support this effect once again: recirculating ball guides enable fast and precise movements.

 

A significant advantage of this newly developed ceramic linear guide is the increase in rigidity due to the material combination ZrO2/Si3N4, as well as the increased surface quality with improved running quality. The special shape and combination of the guide prisms ensures optimized, very low frictional resistance. An outstanding feature is the ability to operate under conditions of insufficient lubrication or even dry running.

 

Standard versions of our TKL-KMK series are often also suitable for substitution in existing systems. In the standard version, the linear guides made of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) are supplied with rolling elements made of silicon nitride (Si3N4).

 

The dimensions correspond, as far as material technology allows, to the standard ball bearing guides available in the industry and are compatible or interchangeable with most metal ball bearing guides.
