Linear Technology

A comprehensive range where the choice of bearing is determined by factors including: Speed, Loads, environment, and type of assembly build.
Fixed or self aligning + Standard steel or Stainless steel + OPen or closed + Heavy Duty + Ceramic + With or without seals + Plastic or steel ball cages are a few examples of the scope of the Rodriguez Linear range of Ball Bushings.
Sizes range from 5mm to 100mm Dia.

The range of housings fall into two principle types:
Machined Aluminium and cast alloy or Iron.
A machined housing facilitates the assembly and mounting of other elements and are available in Single, Double or Four Bearing units.
The Cast housing is used for single bearing assemblies either open or closed and with radial adjustment.

Shaft supports and blocks determine the position of the guide shafts.
Flat + Low profile alloy + Low profile steel + Medium height alloy + Medium height alloy extrusion, and Full height are the types of shaft support available all with fixing hole options. Standard lengths for machined supports are 600mm and 6000mm for extruded supports.
Shaft blocks are available for single or twin shaft assemeblies

Shafts are hardened and ground and from 5mm to 100mm in Diameter. Induction Hardened Steel + Hard Chrome + Rust Resistant and Stainess Steel shafting is available with fixing holes and ends machines as required. Lengths up to 7800mm available

Rodriguez supply complete assembles fully designed for a specific application comprimising all the elements detailed above and any special purpose trolley or mounting plates.

A four row ball system provides a High Load rated Linear guideway.
The two point ball contact characteristics of the circular arch raceways ensure very low friction. The guideway options are either the International or Compact version with a long or short trolley, with or without flanges. precision classes and preload options are available. Guide rail up to 4000mm in length.

Rodriguez supply ball screws & Acme screws. Both types are available in the most common metric and inch industrial standards. Can be supplied in rolled, ground or spun thread form with individual end machining to customer drawing. Supplied with totally interchangeable nuts with preload and higher precisions if required.
