Problems needing attention in installation of linear guide rail

Generally speaking, some linear guides are called slide rails or linear slide rails. Of course, in Chinese mainland, it is simply called linear guide rail. What is it used for? In fact, it is used for linear reciprocating motion. It has a high rated load index, can bear part of the torque, and can easily realize high-precision linear motion under high load. So what should I pay attention to when installing the linear guide rail? Let's talk about it in detail.

We must pay attention to some details about the installation of linear guide rail. If you don't pay attention, it may cause problems in the application. Let's be specific.

Direct guide rail

The first thing we need to pay attention to is the preparation before installation. We need to check the corresponding installation machinery to see if there will be burrs, blow marks or even dirt on the installation surface. If there is, be sure to clean it up. We will apply antirust oil to the linear guide rail, so we should wash these before installation. Before installation, lubricating oil must be brushed on the datum plane to prevent rust.

The second thing we need to pay attention to is to carefully put the linear guide rail on the base. Generally, we will not completely lock the assembly bolts, and let the linear guide rail lean gently against the installation surface according to the requirements of the drawings. It must be noted here that the assembly bolts must be clean. In addition, when placing assembly bolts on the linear guide rail, attention should also be paid to ensuring the cooperation of bolt holes. Once there is no match, the corresponding accuracy will be reduced.

The third point to note is that when tightening the stop screw of the linear guide rail, it is necessary to ensure that the rail is next to the horizontal installation surface.

The fourth thing to pay attention to is the use of torque wrench, which is to tighten the assembly bolt torque according to the operation process. Pay attention to a certain sequence when tightening the assembly bolts, that is, from the center to the two axes, so that the operation accuracy is high.

Fifth, complete the installation of the remaining linear guide rail, and then drive the hole cover into the assembly bolt hole so that the hole cover and the top surface of the linear guide rail are in the same plane.

These are the problems that Bian Xiao summarized for everyone to pay attention to during the installation of linear guide rail. According to this operation, we can get a relatively stable and high-precision equipment. We know that when running the linear guide rail, we completely rely on its stability and high precision to achieve our work goals. Therefore, we should carefully complete the corresponding operations, not sloppy, and the assembly of each part also needs certain operating specifications, which is what we need to pay special attention to.
