Linear guides are used in machine tools, machining centres, industrial robots, measuring and control systems, and also in medical diagnostic scanners. Precise and smooth operation is just as important for their function as are exact positioning, repeatable accuracy and wear-free operation at high load ratings, under shock loads and very short movements. Smooth running at high speeds and acceleration as well as resistance to radiation and aggressive media may also be required.
Automation technology is continuously developing new linear guides, which in turn place increasing demands upon the lubricant. Klüber Lubrication’s product portfolio offers solutions for these specific applications.
