What should we notice when using linear rails and slides?

Linear rails and slides, also known as line rails, slide rails, linear guides, and linear slides, are used for linear reciprocating applications and can withstand a certain amount of torque to achieve high-precision linear motion under high load conditions. Linear guides are called in the mainland. Taiwan is generally called linear guides and linear slides.

Linear rails and slides are divided into square ball linear guides, double-axis core roller linear guides, and single-axis linear guides.
Linear rails and slides are precision parts and require considerable care when used. Even with high-performance linear guides, if used improperly, the expected performance will not be achieved and the linear rails and slides will be easily damaged.

Therefore, the following matters should be noted when using linear guides:
Prevent corrosion
When taking the linear rails and slides directly, it is necessary to wash off the sweat on the hands and apply high-quality mineral oil before handling. In the rainy season and summer, pay special attention to rust prevention.

Keep the environment clean
Keeping the linear rails and slides and their surroundings clean Even if tiny dust that is invisible to the naked eye enters the rails, it increases the wear, vibration and noise of the rails.
Installation should be careful
The linear rails and slides should be carefully and carefully used during installation. Strong stamping is not allowed. It is not allowed to hit the rail directly with a hammer. It is not allowed to transmit pressure through the rolling elements.

The installation tool should be suitable
Linear rails and slides use special tools with the right and most accurate installation tools, and try to avoid the use of cloth and staple fibers.
