PILLOBALLs are compact self-aligning spherical bushings which can support a large radial load and a bi-directional axial load simultaneously. They are used in control and link mechanisms for machine tools, textile machines, packaging machines, among others. Metric and inch units are available in both series.

In contrast to conventional rolling bearings used in rotating parts, Linear Motion Rolling Guides can meet the increasing need for precise linear motion in precision positioning machines and equipment, such as plane sliding mechanisms. Rail guided Linear Ways and Linear Roller Ways, shaft guided Linear Ball Splines, and other products are recognized for their high quality and excellent features. 22The World's First Linear Guides with Integrated Lubrication C-Lube Linear Motion Rolling Guides23Maintenance-Free C-Lube Offers Both Lower Installation Cost and Lower TCO The lubrication oil is supplied directly to the rolling elements, not the track rail. When the rolling elements make contact with the C-Lube element integrated in the circulation path of the slide unit, the lubrication oil is supplied to the surfaces of the rolling elements and distributed to the contact area of the track rail. This provides the right amount of lubrication at the contact area. C-Lube has been tested to provide maintenance- free operation for at least 20,000km. Due to the unique porous sintered resin material used in C- Lube, it is capable of holding sufficient amounts of lubrication oil. The lubrication oil is then continuously supplied to the surface of all rolling elements by surface tension in contact with the surface of the capillary lubricating element. The capillary action in the lubricating element ensures adequate amounts of oil are supplied at the surface, maintaining proper lubrication at all times. Lubrication oil is carried through circulation of the rolling elements Lubrication oil is supplied directly to the surface of the rolling elements Linear Motion Rolling Guides24 C-Lube Linear Way C-Lube Linear Roller Way The aquamarine end-plate is the symbol of maintenance free. C-Lube IntegratedLinear Motion Rolling Guides 25 ML Maintenance Free C-Lube Linear Way ML ML CAT-1578ELinear Motion Rolling Guides26 Super Precision, Maintenance-Free Miniature Linear Guides C-Lube Linear Way ML is a light- weight and compact Linear Way that incorporates C-Lube technology for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Maintenance-Free Smooth and Light Running Lightweight and CompactStainless Steel Components Ball Retained Type Since the lubrication oil inside C-Lube can maintain the lubrication performance for a long time, it reduces lubrication management schedules and the work associated with them. C-Lube is not in contact with the track rail. This permits smooth and light slide motion without increasing the rolling resistance. Since C-Lube is incorporated within the Linear Way ML, it maintains its lightweight, compact size without changing the external dimensions (dimensionally the same as LWL series). The material components of the C-Lube Linear Way ML are made from corrosion resistant stainless steel. This makes the units most suitable for applications in special environments and where lubricants and corrosion protection oils are prohibited. For easier mounting on machines and equipment, the slide units have steel ball retaining bands incorporated within its structure to prevent the loss of the rolling elements (balls) when the slide unit is removed from the track rail. Available track rail width: 5 mm to 42 mmMX Maintenance Free C-Lube Linear Roller Way Super MX Linear Motion Rolling Guides MX 27 CAT-1578EIntegrating Knowledge and Responsibility for the Benefit of All Roller Effects A well balanced structure with cylindrical rollers as rolling elements for greater load capacity, very high-rigidity, superior running ac- curacy and excellent damping characteristics. C-Lube Linear Way Super MX is the best product for machine tool applications that require high machining accuracy under high speed cutting, heavy cutting with vibration and shocks, or precision grinding. Interchangeable Since the slide units and track rails are supplied separately, they can be matched, replaced and added freely. This interchangeability provides more freedom in designing machines, accommodating both standardization or sudden changes to specifications. Power Maintenance-Free With built in C-Lube technology, the capillary system continuously supplies the proper amount of lubrication oil to the cylindrical rollers, keeping the raceways well lubricated for a long period of time. C- Lube has been tested to run maintenance-free for 20,000km and beyond. & Balance Linear Motion Rolling Guides28 Available track rail width: 10 mm to 65 mmNext >
