THK Linear Ball Slide
The friction coefficient is extremely low, and the inertia is also small, resulting in excellent high-speed responsiveness!
The linear ball slide is a slide unit with extremely low friction coefficient and excellent corrosion resistance, as stainless steel balls roll on four hardened and ground stainless steel needle roller races. 【Features】 ○ Easy-to-install unit type → The gaps and movements of the slider are optimally adjusted, allowing for high-precision sliding mechanisms to be obtained simply by mounting it directly onto a flat finished mounting surface. ○ Lightweight and compact → Lightweight aluminum alloy is used for the base and slider, reducing weight. ○ Smooth operation → The balls and rolling surfaces (needle roller races) have point contact with the least rolling loss, and each ball is held at equal intervals by a cage, eliminating mutual friction between the balls and allowing for rolling motion with an extremely low friction coefficient. ○ Excellent corrosion resistance → The base and slider are made of aluminum alloy and treated with anodizing (anodic oxidation coating) for superior corrosion and wear resistance. Additionally, the balls, needle roller races, and screws are made of stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance.
