The LM Guide (Linear Motion Guide) is our main product, incorporating a part with a linear rolling motion into practical usage for the first time in the world. It realizes the development of high-precision, high-rigidity, energy-saving, high-speed machines with long service lives.
Caged Ball LM Guide model SRS has a structure where two raceways are incorporated into the
compact body, enabling the model to receive loads in all directions, and to be used in locations
where a moment is applied with a single rail. In addition, use of ball cages eliminates friction between
balls, thus achieving high speed, low noise, acceptable running sound, long service life, and
long-term maintenance-free operation.
THK's miniature LM Guide series with uncaged, full-complement bearings. These models are capable of receiving loads in all directions, and a single-rail guide can adequately operate under a small moment load. Please note: the balls are not retained and will fall out if the block is removed from the rail.
