Unparalleled motion accuracy, rigidity, and load capacity new A Series inear Guides open up new possibilities for macine tools NS inear Guides A Series e A Series is a new member of NS s linear guide product line, long respected for its outstanding accuracy and reliability. NS s exclusive design acieves te igest level of motion accuracy. ig rigidity and ig load capacity ave also been acieved, leading to significant improvement in macine tool quality. Measurement point 46 38 eatures ig motion accuracy ig motion accuracy is acieved in bot narrow and wide ranges by adopting ultra-long ball slides and new design features. est results of te vibration caused by ball passage 24 5 Vibration caused by ball passage reduced to one-tird of our conventional models e ultra-long ball slides and new design ave reduced te vibration caused by ball passage to one-tird of our conventional models, contributing to improved straigtness of te table (based on te accuracy measurement of narrow range motion, compared wit our conventional models). A Series : A3 Preload: Z3 able dimensions: 46 38mm A Series four ball slides isplacement.12µm Strokes: 2 mm ig rigidity and load capacity wit low friction ig rigidity, ig load capacity, and low friction are acieved by increasing te number of balls. ust proof seals ust-tigt ig performance end seals, bottom seals, and inner seals are built-in as standard features, facilitating long-term macining capability wit ig accuracy. Conventional models : A3 e same table is used. Preload: Z3 isplacement able dimensions: 46 38mm Standard model eigt ball slides.37µm Strokes: 2 mm Application or a variety of macine tools e series is most suitable for macining centers, ig-precision lates, and grinding macines due to its ig motion accuracy. In addition, it is also suitable for discarge macines because of its low friction and ig rigidity. Mecanism of te vibration caused by ball passage y extending te effective ball slide lengt, NS as minimized posture canges in ball slide due to te vibration caused by ball passage. In addition, te vibration as been substantially reduced by adopting an optimally designed crowning sape. 1 2
