Application of Linear Guides in the Steel Industry

Time:2025-08-18   

Linear guides can be divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They are used to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. According to the friction properties, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides, and other types.

In the steel industry, linear guides can be found in a wide variety of plants and equipment used in upstream and downstream processes: refined from steelmaking and rolling processes of raw materials in the yard. This machine and equipment are used in various types of bearings.

The operating environment of these linear guides is a steelmaking method, including steel dust, water, and heat. In addition, bearings may face heavy loads and vibration impacts, with operating speeds ranging from extremely slow through to high, plus rapid acceleration and deceleration. This makes it difficult to find a harsh operating environment in other applications.

Application of advanced linear guide design technology

Continuous planning, development, and research and development from many different perspectives, including material bearing technology, lubrication, and analysis.

For many years, this has led to the strategic goal of achieving the company's fundamental objectives: producing bearings with long service life and high reliability. We provide a comprehensive product line for the steel industry, including linear guides that meet ISO standards, independent development, and high-capacity professional bearing standards.
