Full-Ball LM Guide Miniature Cross LM Guide Model MX

Balls roll in two rows of raceways precision-ground on an LM rail and an LM block, and endplates incorporated in the LM block allow the balls to circulate. This model is an integral type of LM Guide that squares a unit of miniature LM Guide model RSR with another and uses two LM rails in combination. Since an orthogonal LM system with an extremely low height can be achieved with model MX alone, a conventionally require saddle is no longer necessary and the whole system can be downsized.

4-way Equal Load

Each row of balls is placed at a contact angle of 45° so that the rated loads applied to the LM block are uniform in the four directions (radial, reverse radial and lateral directions), enabling the LM Guide to be used in all orientations.

Tapped-hole LM Rail Type

There are two types of the LM rail: one designed to be mounted from the top with bolts, and a semistandard type whose bottom face has tapped holes, allowing the rail to be mounted from the bottom.
