Product Features of Track Roller Guidance Systems

Track roller guidance systems are modular linear guides suitable for a wide range of applications, offering reliable and low-friction movement through robust construction with durable rollers or balls. In order to cover a wide range of requirements using standard components, the guidance systems are structured according to a modular concept. The system elements, namely carriages, composite guideways, track rollers and a precisely matched range of accessories can be combined to achieve designs that are precisely matched to the application.

Thanks to their compact design, they fit even in confined spaces without compromising on performance. Characterized by quiet operation, high travel speeds, and long stroke lengths, they provide an excellent solution for precise and repeatable positioning in demanding environments. Additionally, track roller guides are available in a corrosion-resistant version.
