In the context of intelligent manufacturing upgrading, the selection of linear guides directly affects equipment accuracy and lifespan. According to the latest standard ISO 3408-2024, it is recommended to conduct a systematic evaluation from the following five dimensions:

Load capacity calculation

Static load (C0) must be ≥ 1.5 times the actual load (P)

The dynamic load (C) should consider the acceleration coefficient (recommended to take 1.2-1.5)

Case: Semiconductor handling equipment needs to choose ultra-high rigid guide rails with C0 ≥ 25kN

Accuracy level matching

Ordinary machine tools use H-grade (± 0.02mm/1000mm)

Precision measuring equipment requires P-level (± 0.005mm/1000mm)

The newly emerged AA level (± 0.002mm/1000mm) in 2025 is suitable for quantum chip manufacturing

Speed and acceleration adaptation

High speed scenes (>5m/s) require the selection of low friction coefficient (μ<0.002) guide rails

When the acceleration is greater than 2G, it is recommended to use a double row four column ball bearing structure

Environmental adaptability considerations

Choose stainless steel material (304/316L) for clean room environment

IP65 or above protection level is required for high humidity environments

Non magnetic materials (such as titanium alloy) should be selected for anti magnetic requirements scenarios

Intelligent function integration

Prioritize products with vibration monitoring interfaces

Intelligent rails supporting EtherCAT communication are gradually becoming mainstream

Pay attention to the coordinated control parameters of the guide rail and servo motor

After selection, it is recommended to conduct a 72 hour continuous load test, with a focus on temperature rise (should be<55 ℃) and noise (≤ 65dB) indicators.
