The B stroke bush is a linear and rotational motion mechanism utilizing the rotational motion of ball elements between an outer cylinder and a shaft. It is compact and can with stand high loading. The retainer is made of a light metal alloy with high wear resistance. Smooth motion is achieved under high-speed and high-acceleration conditions. Although the linear motion is limited to a predetermined stroke distance, the smooth combination of linear and rotational motions is achieved with very little frictional resistance. The B stroke bush may be conveniently used in a variety of applications. STRUTURE AD ADVATAGES The retainer in the B stroke bush positions the ball elements in a zigzag arrangement. The inner surface of the outer cylinder is finished by grinding, resulting in the smooth motion of the ball elements. Each of the ball elements is held in a separate hole and smooth motion is achieved for both rotational motion and linear motion. The retainer moves half the distance of the linear motion, therefore, the stroke distance is limited to approximately twice the distance the retainer can travel within the outer cylinder. The actual stroke should be limited to % of the maximum stroke as listed in the dimensional tables. High Precision High-carbon, chromium-bearing steel is used for the outer cylinder. It is heat treated and ground to achieve high rigidity and accuracy. Ease of Mounting / Replacement The highly accurate fabrication of the B stroke bush results in uniform dimensions, facilitating parts replacement and housing fabrication. Light Weight / Space Saving The use of an aluminum alloy for the retainer and the thin-wall outer cylinder make the B stroke bush light weight and compact.

SLIDE GUIDE AURAY The accuracies of the SR stroke bush are stated in the dimensional tables. Since the outer cylinder deforms due to tension from the retaining ring, the dimension of the outer cylinder is an average value at points P, where calculated using the following equation: W = 4+ L W : the distance from the end of the outer race to measurement point P L : the length of the outer race FIT The s of the SR stroke bush are listed in the dimensional tables. The shaft diameter should be selected to achieve the desired amount of radial clearance. High-speed linear motion can cause the retainer to slip due to inertial force. An interference fit of to RATED LOAD AD RATED LIFE The relationship between the rated load and life of the stroke bush is expressed as follows: L = P L : the rated life ( rotations), : the basic dynamic rated load () P : load () For rotation/stroke combined motion L Lh = (dm n) +( S n) dm The allowable speed for combined rotation and stroke motion is obtained from the following equation: F- Figure F- Outer ylinder Measurement Points will compensate for such slip.

B's Slide Rotary Series consists of three different types. The Slide Rotary Bush, which provides both endless rotary and linear motion functions, the Flanged Slide Rotary Bush, and the Slide Rotary Unit which is assembled using various B standard housings. The B Slide Rotary Series has an idealistic structure, incorporating a combination of linear and rotary motion. Linear and rotary motion are merged into a single unit resulting in great space savings compared to the conventional style of Slide Bushings. All three types of the Slide Rotary Series are available in sizes ranging from to. All components in the Slide Rotary Series are standardized for versatile installation requirements. STRUTURE AD ADVATAGES B Slide Rotary Bush is composed of retainer fitted into cylindrical steel outer race and is designed to guide steel balls for smooth circulation in its retainer. The retainer is also designed to rotate freely towards radial direction and offers smooth linear and rotary motions. Smooth Operation The inner surface of the outer race allows smooth operation of linear and rotary motions while maintaining a uniform load distribution. High Load apacity The use of comparatively large diameter steel balls enhances acceptability of high load capacity. Smooth Rotation The positioning of the steel balls in a cylindrical formation inside the retainer enables a smooth rotational motion to be achieved independent of the installation direction. omplete Interchangeability B Slide Rotary series is completely interchangeable with SM type Slide Bush, SMK type Flanged Slide Bush and Slide Units such as SMA(W) type, AK(W) type and SMP type.

SLIDE GUIDE RATED LIFE AD LOADS The rated life and loads are defined as follows. Rated Life When a group of slide rotary bearings of the same type are used under the same conditions, the rated life is defined as the total number of rotations made without flaking by % of the bearings. Basic Dynamic Rated Load The basic dynamic rated load is defined as the load with a constant magnitude and direction at which a rated life of rotations can be achieved. Basic Static Rated Load The basic static rated load is defined as the load with a constant direction that would result in a certain contact stress at the mid-point of the rolling element and tracking surface that are experiencing the maximum stress. Formula gives the relation between the applied load and the rated life of the slide rotary bush. L= L : rated life ( rotations) fh : hardness coefficient ft : temperature coefficient f : contact coefficient fw : load coefficient : basic dynamic rated load () P : applied load () Since the slide rotary bush is used in applications with combined linear and rotary motions, the life time is obtained using Formulas and.

SLIDE GUIDE Precautions Regarding Use Shaft Since the balls roll directly over the shaft surface in the SRE-type slide rotary bush, the accuracy and hardness of the shaft are important factors. Outer Diameter : A of g is recoended for smooth operation. Hardness : A hardness of greater than HR is recoended for long life. If the hardness is less than HR, the life is calibrated using the hardness coefficient. Surface Roughness : A roughness of less than.4ra is recoended. Housing An inner diameter of H is recoended. Lubrication Lubrication is needed () to prevent heat fusing and reduce wear between the rolling elements and between the rolling elements and the tracking surface, () to reduce wear of the structural elements, and () to prevent oxidation. Lubrication affects both the performance and life of the bush. A lubrication method and a lubrication agent appropriate to the operating conditions should be used. For oil lubrication, turbine oil (V-) should be used. For grease lubrication, lithium soap grease no. should be used. The replenishment interval depends on the operating conditions. Dust ontrol Dust and other contaminants affect the bush's lifetime and accuracy. Appropriate control methods are thus important. Operating Temperature Range The SRE-type bush can be operated at temperatures ranging from to. In a case of operating at a temperature outside this range, please contact B.

B's RK type slide rotary bush is a highly accurate rigid component providing smooth continuous linear and rotational motion. Its structure imposes no constraints on either motion. It is much more compact than a standard slide bush with separate rotational bearing. STRUTURE AD ADVATAGES The RK type slide rotary bush uses a retainer similar to that used in the SR type stroke bush. This retainer provides the results of smooth rotational motion. The SM type slide bush is also used providing the smooth linear motion. Large ball elements are used enabling the bushing to withstand high loads..a smooth unlimited linear and rotational motion is obtained..there is no need to machine separate housing..high accuracy is ensured for extended period of usage. 4.Its high compatibility eliminates replacement problems..high rigidity enables it to withstand an unbalanced load and high load capacity.
