Caged Ball LM Guide Ultra-low waving Model SPR
Model SPR realize super-low waving comparable to hydrostatic guides. In addition, the deformation of the ball is minimized to achieve ultra-high rigidity that surpasses even roller guides.

Features
We achieve ultra-low waving and high rigidity through our unique technology.
Eight raceway grooves
Doubling the number of grooves halves the load on the balls and enables ultra-low waving on a nanoscopic scale.
Small-diameter balls
The increased number of loadbearing balls stabilizes support and reduces compression when under a load.
Ultra-long blocks
More balls can be incorporated, reducing each ball's individual load.Demonstrates ultra-low waving and ultra-high rigidity.
Ultra-low waving
Ultra-low waving performance that breaks conventional standards.
Proficient in nanometer stroke applications.
Waving Evaluation
The product was installed on a single-axis table, and the vertical and horizontal displacement during operation was measured. SPR/SPS models have 1/10 the waving value compared to our conventional, standard LM Guide models (100 nm-300 nm).
| Tested model | SPS25LR |
|---|---|
| Rail span | 250mm |
| Block span | 250mm |
| Measurement point | Upper 250 mm of the middle of the table |
| Measurement direction | Vertical and horizontal |
Ultra-high Rigidity
Achieves overwhelming rigidity with small-diameter balls and ultra-long blocks.
Improves the precision of load-bearing strokes and provides stable motion.
Rigidity Comparison and Evaluation
A force was applied to the product from above or below, and the resulting displacement was measured. It achieves even higher rigidity than a roller guide.
* This test was intended to compare the clearance C1.
