Here you will find answers to the most important questions about our linear guides. Learn more about choosing the right solution, the impact of environmental conditions, maintenance tips, and the different linear systems we offer. If you have any further questions, our technical sales team will be happy to assist you.
The choice depends on various factors, such as the load, speed, precision and environmental conditions. Heavy-duty linear guides are ideal for high loads (for example for machine tools), while curved linear guides (THK curved guides) are suitable for special movement requirements. Miniature linear guides are often used for small applications (for example in medical technology).
Dust, moisture and extreme temperatures can affect the performance and service life of linear systems. It is therefore important to take appropriate protective measures. Stainless steel linear guides (corrosion-resistant guides with additional surface coating) offer additional protection against corrosion.
Ball screw guides are characterized by their high precision and low friction. In contrast, roller guides can carry higher loads and offer very high accuracy, especially in machine tools. THK offers both types of linear guides.
Regular maintenance, correct lubrication and protection against contamination are crucial. A protective cover is helpful here.
High precision is important for applications that require exact movements and positioning, such as in semiconductor production or medical technology. THK linear guides are known for their high precision.
