What is the relationship between linear guides and circular guides
The main effect of the circular guide rail is to integrate multiple workstations on the circulating assembly line or installation line. Compared to the belt line, it has smaller motion gaps, high rigidity, high speed, and high positioning accuracy.
1、 Structure: From the cross-section of the circular guide rail, there are mainly two types: V-shaped and trapezoidal. The manufacturer of the V-shaped circular guide rail is Hepco from the UK, and the trapezoidal guide rail is Nadella from Germany. Different cross-sections result in different loads and speeds. The V-shaped surface undergoes hardening treatment and is made of steel to withstand strong loads.
2、 Composition: The fundamental components of the circular trajectory system include circular guide rails, linear guide rails, load-bearing slides, motors, reducers, etc. The driving method is more sensitive and can be driven by synchronous belts, gears, racks, or chains.
3、 Application: The circular guide rail can be used to adjust the linear guide rail into a circular trajectory system, or it can be used independently in segments. For example, as the seventh axis guide rail of a robot, the width and diameter of the circular guide rail will directly affect the load capacity.
