Customization options include multi-part guideways, defined push force, height-matched carriages, customer-specific lubrication, and vacuum packaging.
Accessories include plastic plugs, wiper options, and a relubrication set.
MINISCALE PLUS integrates movement and measurement, ensuring high accuracy and reliability without separate distance measuring systems.
Maximum acceleration is 300 m/s², with a maximum speed of 5 m/s for analog and 3.2 m/s for digital outputs. The system operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C.
TTL output resolution is 0.1 µm, with optional resolutions of 1 µm or 10 µm, maintaining an accuracy of 1000 mm +/- 5 µm.
Requires a supply voltage of 5 V DC +/- 5%, with typical current consumption of 60 mA for analog and 90 mA for digital outputs.
MINISLIDE products are preloaded with zero backlash, ensuring high system rigidity and precision. MSQ models feature a circular arc profile for highest rigidity.
1. Surface Quality and Assembly
High surface contact ratio is essential for performance, with a recommended maximum Ra value of 0.4 for high-precision applications.
Adhering to specified height and corner radii ensures proper force absorption and clearance for carriages.
Permissible deviations for alignments are calculated using preload factors and spacing dimensions.
Alignment methods vary based on accuracy needs, with options for manual alignment and using reference surfaces.
Initial lubrication is necessary, with specific products and quantities outlined for different carriage types.
Ensure components are at room temperature before installation, using a torque wrench for fastening screws.
- Tightening Torques for Fastening Screws: Recommended torque values are provided for different screw types.
Load Carrying Capacity and Service Life
