Guide Unit in Stainless Steel

Front plate in steel for better torsion resistance. (support or external force offcentered from the axis of the guide) Available on the Classic, Strengthened and Heavy series for cylinders Ø50 to Ø125. Front plate in steel on guide unit These guide units are equipped with a front plate a zinc steel for better resistance to torsion. Indeed, when the front plate exerts an offcentered pressure before the end stroke of the cylinder or if the guide undergoes an external force offcentered with respect to the axis of the guide, the generated twist can cause a matting of the housing of the rod in the plate if it is aluminum, especially if the penetration of the rod is low (as on the Classic series). This range is available on the Classic, Strengthened and Heavy series for Ø50 to Ø125 cylinders.

Short bearing housings (cylindrical) Long bearing housings (prismatic) Guide rods Cylinder rod couplings The subsets of this range allow to realize a guide adapted to your need and integrated to your machine. Make your own guide unit To make a guide unit adapted to your needs and integrated into your machine you choose the diameter of the rods according to the load capacity you choose the type of guidance (bronze, polymer or with ball bushings) you choose the guide length (long or short bearings) you choose the distance between the rods according to the application (on your support and your plate) you can integrate any cylinder (type, standard, brand …) you limit the number of parts by directly using a support of your frame and your own end plate You simply have to guarantee a parallelism of the bearing axes by the quality of the surface of your support. A range of bearings, guide rods and rod coupling is also available in stainless steel Guide Type 34X

For pneumatic cylinders ISO Ø8 and Ø10 Guide on bronze bearings or ball bushings The smallest guide unit in the range It’s the smallest unit, suitable for ISO6432 Ø8 and Ø10 pneumatic cylinders, allowing an ISO cylinder to be kept for small guided cylinder applications. It has a long Ushape to remain compact and have a guide length comparable to an Hshape. For environments requiring an anticorrosion version, the steel parts can be supplied in stainless steel (rods, coupling, screws), the body and the front plate are remaining in anodized aluminum (suffix /AC after the reference). Any special stroke is possible, with a maxi stroke of 200 mm.

Compact and economical linear guide unit for ISO 15552 cylinder Ø32 to 50. Short guide on bronze bearings, ball bushings or polymer bearings. Competitiveness of guide units for ISO 15552 cylinders This range is very competitive since it is 25% less expensive than a HGuide Classic Series 20% less expensive than a UGuide Classic Series 10% less expensive than a UGuide Light Series (comparison made on size 4 – for cylinder Ø32) Area of application of compact guide units These compact guides being available in ball bushings whereas all the Uguide units are generally available in plain bearings only, they are particularly interesting for simple applications at high speed like in packaging machines. It will also be used in tight spaces, but for short strokes (<100 mm), it may be advisable to use a compact cylinder ISO 21287 with the guides
