MINIRAIL Product Overview
7.2 MINIRAIL Product Overview
7.2.6 Push Force
The push force of the carriage is influenced by the preload class, the lubricant and
the wipers used.
The carriages can be delivered with a defined push force on request (see chapter
8.3).
7.2.7 Friction and Smoothness
SCHNEEBERGER places high emphasis on running smoothness during the
manufacturing process. Transitions, run-ins and run-outs and the quality of the
plastics are given top priority. This also applies in respect of the rolling elements
used, which must satisfy the most stringent quality demands. Under normal
operating conditions, a coefficient of friction of 0.005 can be expected (without
wipers).
7.2.8 Carriage Uniformity System
The MINIRAIL carriages are interchangeable within preload and accuracy classes.
With this in mind, guideways and carriages are packaged separately (see chapter
18.1). This simplifies interchangeability and storage.
