Guide Rails – Linear Technology
Rigid. Clearance free. Versatile in use.
Our guide rails ensure precise linear motion with minimal friction loss – whether as cross roller, needle roller, or sliding guides. They are compact, backlash-free, and offer maximum repeatability. Made of hardened tool steel, they provide the ideal foundation for smooth operation in your application.

R-Typ Cross Roller Guides – Versatile and Precise
Cross Roller Guides Rails
Our R-Typ guides enable backlash-free and highly accurate motion – ideal for applications with medium to high loads. They can be flexibly equipped with roller or ball cages and stand out for their stability, precision, and compact design.
- Optional with roller or ball cages in plastic or steel
- Installation: Horizontal and vertical possible (depending on cage type)
- Motion characteristics: High precision, low friction resistance
- Material: High-quality, hardened tool steel
- Corrosion-resistant coatings available
N/O-Typ Needle Roller Guides – For Maximum Load Capacity
Needle Roller Guides
N/O-Typ guides are specifically designed for high-load applications and are equipped with needle cages. They provide maximum rigidity, low wear, and are ideal for linear motion where load capacity and running accuracy are critical.
- For high loads and high precision
- Backlash-free, smooth operation
- Used in combination with needle cages
- Compact design, robust construction
- Suitable for horizontal and vertical installation
- Corrosion-resistant coatings available
GS-N/O-Type Sliding Guides – Sliding Guides with Damping Advantage
Sliding Guides
The GS-N/O-Typ guide is a high-quality plain bearing guide consisting of a hardened O-rail and a coated N-rail. It is suitable for linear motion applications with high requirements for damping and smooth running – usable in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
- Plain guide combination: hardened O-rail, N-rail with sliding layer
- Stick-slip-free motion: for uniform, jerk-free movement
- Excellent vibration damping: ideal for sensitive applications
- Interchangeability: compatible components for easy maintenance
- Installation position: horizontal & vertical possible
- Corrosion-resistant coatings available
