THK Introduces Industry's First Caged Roller Guide - The Type SRG.
The Type SRG overcomes several drawbacks of roller guides by incorporating an elastomeric cage to isolate rollers. This technique eliminates roller-to-roller contact and roller skewing, as well as yielding other benefits.
The Type SRG boasts the SSE 3 (smooth, silent, economical, ecological, endless) technology found in THK's Caged Ball LM guides. Without metal-to-metal contact, heat, friction, and noise are dramatically reduced. What's more, operating speeds and product life are increased. The useful life of lubricant is also improved, allowing for long-term, maintenance-free operation.
The Type SRG's ultra-high stiffness makes it the ideal choice for machine tool applications. THK's QZ lubricator (for automatic oil replenishing) and LaCS contact scraper (to clear debris from the rail while the guide moves) are available as options for the Type SRG. Side, inner and end seals are also standard to prevent penetration of debris.
