Possible causes and common solutions for noise generated during the operation of linear guides
一、 Generally speaking, there are several types of noise problems caused by linear guides:
1. In industries with high dust levels, linear guides are prone to noise in their usage environment;
2. Improper use of lubricating grease leads to noise in the linear guide rail;
3. The different preloading designs of sliders can also lead to the occurrence of noise situations;
4. Improper installation of linear guides can also lead to noise levels;
5. Equipment vibration can also generate certain noise;

二、 Common solutions to the noise problem caused by linear guides
1. Install an additional dust cover in industries with high dust levels to prevent dust from entering the groove of the guide rail;
2. Lubrication: Linear guides require regular lubrication to reduce friction and noise;
3. Communicate with the manufacturer before use and choose the appropriate preloading design. The linear guide rails of Lanbo Machinery are divided into three types of preloading: Z0, ZA, and ZB. Choose the appropriate preloading according to different equipment and load conditions.
4. The installation of linear guides can also affect their operating noise. Ensure that the linear guides are installed correctly and not loose or offset. If the noise is still loud, you can try adjusting its position or angle to reduce the noise.
5. Reduce vibration by taking measures such as using shock absorbers or shock pads.
6. Choosing the silent linear guide, the LQEH series silent linear guide produced by Lanbo Machinery adds ball retainers between the steel balls of the slider. Due to the absence of friction and collision between the steel balls, as well as the improvement of grease retention, low noise and good sound quality are achieved. At the same time, it also achieves a long service life and long-term operation without maintenance.
