Features
Structure and Features

Balls roll in two rows of raceways precision-ground on an LM rail and an LM block, and end plates incorporated in the LM block allow the balls to recirculate. The Model RSX uses two rows of raceways, and it can help reduce the size of a device because it has more compact outer dimensions than models with four raceways. In addition, despite its compact size, the ball contact structure can take loads in each direction, so it can be used with a single axis in locations where moments are applied.
Super Compact
The LM rail has one raceway on each side, and its compact design with low cross-sectional height allows it to be installed in locations with limited space.
Corrosion Prevention
The LM rail, LM block, and balls are made of stainless steel, which has high corrosion resistance.
Retains Balls
This model incorporates a ball-retaining wire that prevents balls from falling out when the LM block is removed from and inserted onto the LM rail, making mounting easy.
Flatness of the LM Rail and the LM Block Mounting Surface
Since the Model RSX has Gothic-arch grooves, any precision errors in the mounting surface may negatively affect its operability. Therefore, we recommend using it on mounting surfaces made with high precision.
| Model No. | Flatness error |
| RSX5 | 0.015/200 |
|---|---|
| RSX7 | 0.025/200 |
| RSX9 | 0.035/200 |
| RSX12 | 0.050/200 |
| RSX15 | 0.060/200 |
| RSX20 | 0.070/200 |
| RSX25 | 0.070/200 |
- Notes: As there are many cases in which the mounting surface precision is affected by a number of factors, we recommend using 70% or less of the values shown.
The above figures apply to normal clearances.When using two or more rails with C1 clearance, we recommend using 50% or less of the values shown.
