THK, known worldwide as a leader in linear motion technology, has applied new caged ball technology to one of its latest LM guides, the type SNR. THK's use of caged ball technology, results in reduced operating noise, dramatically decreased maintenance requirements, and longer product life.
Ideal for machine tool applications, the SIVR can increase rigidity under heavy loads. During heavy machining, increased friction from the differential slip between balls and the raceways improves the SNR's damping characteristics. And, because the guide's radius of curvature of the raceways and the balls are similar, contact area is increased during ultra-heavy loads.
