Linear guides can be divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They are used to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear movements in a given direction. According to the friction properties, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides, and other types.

According to the nature of friction, linear guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides, and other types. Linear bearings are mainly used in automated machinery, such as German imported machine tools, paper bowl machines, laser welding machines, etc. Of course, linear bearings and linear guides can also be used together. Linear guides are mainly used in mechanical structures that require high precision.

Maintenance tips for linear guide rails:

Remove the linear guide pulley and remember to loosen the screws. If they fall or are lost, it can be troublesome. Then, remove the bearings. The core of some wheels is very tight and the bearings are difficult to disassemble. You can use a hex wrench to dig them down. Don't worry, the bearings are not easy to break, but don't be too violent. Then use a toothbrush to brush off the dirt on the surface of the bearings. Some bearing side covers are removable, while others cannot. It is recommended to first determine if you are supporting the removable side covers.

Regarding how to determine: If there is a C-shaped ring on the edge of the bearing side cover, then the ring is removable. If not, then it is non removable, but there are exceptions. If it is detachable, it is very simple! Use a precision screwdriver in a straight line to pry up the C-ring in the gap between the C-rings, and then remove the side cover by simply removing one side. The C-shaped ring and side cover should be retracted, and you may need to put them back after cleaning. If it cannot be disassembled, it will be a lot of trouble. Using destructive methods, insert a precision screwdriver into the joint of the side cover and forcefully pry up the side cover, but the side cover cannot be put back. Remove the side cover of all bearings and start cleaning. Pour an appropriate amount of cleaning oil into the bowl, put the bearings of the linear guide in for a while, and then the linear guide can be cleaned.
