As a result, short strokes reduce the service life of the guideway. This can only be reliably determined by means of experimentation. 6.6.
7 MINIRAIL Product Overview MINIRAIL are highly accurate miniature profiled linear guideways with ball bearings. Their precision, robustness, innovative design and strength are second to none. The range includes the standard rail widths of 7, 9, 12 and 15 as well as wider widths of 14, 18, 24 and 42. The carriages are available in four lengths: MNNS (short), MNN (standard), MNNL (long) and MNNXL (extra long).
7 7.1 MINIRAIL Product Overview Product Characteristics 7.1.1 Carriage Interchangeability Because the carriages are made to precisely the same size, they can be switched for other carriages at will (carriage uniformity system). This simplifies storage and maintenance considerably. Note: The MINISCALE PLUS carriages and guideways are always matched to each other and are therefore delivered as a set (carriage mounted on rails) - (see chapter 18.1). Carriage uniformity system LUBE-S 7.1.
7 MINIRAIL Product Overview 7.1.4 Speed and Acceleration The innovative embedding of ball recirculation in the carriage allows speeds of up to 5 m/s and accelerations of up to 300 m/s2. Enlargement of ball recirculation in the carriages 7.1.5 High Load Capacities The Gothic arc profile of the guideway tracks allows high load capacities. Gothic arc profile of the guideway tracks 7.1.6 Simple Installation and Maintenance Retaining wire holding the balls in place 7.1.
7 MINIRAIL Product Overview 7.1.8 Sophisticated Lubrication Concept MINIRAIL are delivered unlubricated as standard, allowing you to decide on the optimal lubrication for the respective application (see chapter 7.2.12 «Lubricating MINIRAIL»). Each wiper on the carriages features two lubrication holes so that the left and right ball recirculation pathways can be lubricated with oil separately.
7 MINIRAIL Product Overview The carriages are fitted with profiled wipers as standard. They are snap-fitted into place and can therefore be easily replaced. Alternative variants (for example low-friction or clearance wipers) are described in chapter 9.2. Detachable wipers In order to prevent the accumulation of dirt, the attachment holes in the guideways can be sealed with plastic plugs (see chapter 9.1). 7.

7 MINIRAIL Product Overview 7.2.3 Accuracy Classes MINIRAIL carriages and guide rails are made to a high precision independently of each other. The carriages are interchangeable. This means that any carriage of the same size and accuracy class can be used on the guide rails without influencing the preload class. MINISCALE PLUS carriages and guide rails are also made to a high precision.
7 MINIRAIL Product Overview 7.2.4 Running Accuracy In terms of tolerances, the running of the carriage on a guideway can take on either a linear or wave-like shape. The maximum permissible deviation is limited by the accuracy class of the guideway. As shown on the following diagram, the tolerance is determined by the rail length and by accuracy class G1 or G3. 18.0 G3 Running accuracy ∆ (μm) 16.0 14.0 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 G1 4.0 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.

7 MINIRAIL Product Overview 7.2.12 Lubrication General Choice of lubricant is an important consideration and must therefore be defined during the development phase of the machine or application. From experience, choosing the lubricant after the design is finalized leads to significant difficulties later on. A carefully thought out lubrication concept is therefore a feature of a state-of-the-art and well-planned design.
8 8.1 MINIRAIL Options LUBE-S (LS) Long-term Lubrication LUBE-S All types of MNN MINIRAIL carriages can be ordered with optional LUBE-S lubricant. Other carriage types available on request. The ingenious long-term lubrication LUBE-S is a lubricant reservoir. It applies the lubricant externally in all orientations directly to the ball recirculation tracks by means of the capillary effect. LUBE-S is integrated into the inside of the carriage and lubricates all ball bearings that are directly under load.
8 8.2 MINIRAIL Options Multi-part Guideways for MINIRAIL (ZG) If the desired total length of the guideway is longer than the maximum length listed in the catalogue, individual guideways can be joined together with precision butt joints. For this configuration, the ends of the guideways are precision ground. The offset between the individual guideways should not exceed 0.002 mm. Take note of the numbered guideways at the butt joints during installation.
8 8.5 MINIRAIL Options Customer-specific Lubrication (KB) The fundamentals of lubrication are described in chapter 12. Special lubricants are used for specific purposes. For example lubricants for use with vacuums, different temperatures, high speeds, heavy loads or high stroke frequencies. SCHNEEBERGER can supply the guideways with the appropriate lubricant for all of these applications. Cleaned and Vacuum-packed (US) Guideways operated in a vacuum must be cleaned and packaged accordingly.

10 MINISCALE PLUS Product Overview 10.2.8 Lubrication General Lubrication is a design element and must therefore be defined during the development phase of a machine or application. If the lubrication is specified after design and construction is complete, this is likely to lead to operational difficulties. A carefully thought out lubrication concept is therefore a sign of a state-of-the-art and well devised design.
11 MINISCALE PLUS Options 11.1 Push Force Defined (VD) Demanding applications may only be possible if the guideway has a defined push force. These parameters can be defined by SCHNEEBERGER according to customer specifications.

Flatness requirements of the base structure are correspondingly high so that surface inaccuracies are not transferred to the guideways. MINI-X guideways perform best when mounted on a rigid structure with a high level of geometric accuracy. Inaccuracies in the guideway assembly surfaces have a negative impact on their overall accuracy, running behaviour, push force and service life.
15 Configuration of the Base Structure 15.3 Reference Height and Corner Radii Observance of the following height specifications for the reference surfaces guarantees secure absorption of force and sufficient clearance for the carriages. The carriages and guide rails feature a chamfer on the edges of the reference surfaces. The corner radii specified in the following tables are maximum values which ensure that carriages and guide rails contact the mounting surfaces correctly.

15 Configuration of the Base Structure 15.4.3 Flatness of the Mounting Surfaces E6 and E7 E7 E6 For the flatness of the guideway surface E6 across the entire length, referring to the values for running accuracy for the appropriate accuracy class as described in chapter 7.2.4 is recommended. For the flatness of the carriage surface E7, the values in the table below should be targeted.
Configuration of the Base Structure 15.4.4 Parallelism Tolerance of the Reference Surfaces for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Guide rails which are not aligned in parallel cause unplanned loads in the guide system over its stroke length, subsequently subjecting the tracks to additional stress. This decreases running accuracy of the guideways and can shorten the service life. The parallelism tolerances Δ below must therefore be adhered to.
16.1 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Methods for Aligning the Guideways Alignment of the guide rails depends on the level of accuracy needed and must be specified in the construction phase of the machine, since this is when the number of reference surfaces as well as their positions are determined.
16 16.2 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Installation Methods Different criteria must be taken into consideration when choosing an appropriate installation method and defining the number and arrangement of the lateral reference surfaces. These are: 16.2.1 16.2.2 16.2.3 16.2.4 Load Accuracy Installation time and engineering expense Installation location and specifics 16.2.
Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Installation option 1 • No reference surfaces • The forces are transferred by friction locking • Long installation time and high engineering expense Installation option 2 • Both guide rails with one reference Carriage side with opposite reference • Simple installation • High lateral force absorption from one direction, e.g.
16 16.3 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Preparing for the Installation 16.3.1 Required Tools and Equipment • • • • Oil stone Lubricant Torque wrench Fastening screws 16.3.2 Preparing the Reference Surfaces • Check reference surfaces of the machine bed and mounting plate for shape and position accuracy. • Clean all reference surfaces thoroughly. Remove ridges and surface irregularities with an oil stone.
16 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS 16.3.3 Lubrication of MINIRAIL Initial lubrication Unless specified otherwise, carriage and guideway are delivered separately (see chapter 18.1). They are delivered unlubricated and must have a suitable lubricant for the application applied before operating.
16 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Relubrication intervals The relubrication interval depends on many variables, e.g. load, working environment, speed, etc. and therefore cannot be calculated. The lubrication point must therefore be observed over a longer period of time. A) Relubrication with oil A relubrication set with KLÜBER Structovis GHD can be ordered from SCHNEEBERGER, part number MNW.
16.4 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Installation 16.4.1 General • Before installation, the guideway, machine bed, mounting plate and fastening screws must all be at room temperature • Always tighten the fastening screws with a torque wrench. See chapter 16.5 for torque values • Always press the reference surface of the guideway against the reference surface of the machine bed.
16 16.5 Installation and Adjustment Guidelines for MINIRAIL and MINISCALE PLUS Tightening Torques for the Fastening Screws The recommended torque values can be found in the table. These values apply to oiled screws with a coefficient of friction of 0.12. The coefficient of friction can be as low as 0.07 for lubricated screws. The corresponding torque values should be reduced by half. The following table shows the torque values for the fastening screws of strength class 12.9 (friction coefficient 0.
17.1 Load Carrying Capacity and Service Life Principles The load capacities are based on the principles of DIN 636. In accordance with DIN in most applications a permanent overall deformation of 0.0001 times the rolling element diameter can be permitted without adversely affecting the operating behaviour of the bearing.
17 17.2 Load Carrying Capacity and Service Life Calculation of Service Life L in Accordance with the DIN ISO Standard 17.2.1 The Formula for Calculating the Nominal Service Life for Ball Guideways in Meters is as follows: 3 Ceff L = a ∙� � ∙ 105 m P a Ceff P L = Event probability factor = Effective load carrying capacity N = Dynamic, equivalent load in N = Nominal service life in m Event probability factor a The load carrying capacities for roller-contact bearings correspond to the DIN ISO standard.
17 Load Carrying Capacity and Service Life Contact factor fk If multiple carriages are mounted back-to-back with minimal spacing (Lb < L), an even weight distribution will be difficult to achieve due to the manufacturing tolerances of the guideway elements and mounting surfaces. Installation situations such as these can be allowed for with the contact factor fk: Number of carriages 1 2 3 4 5 Contact factor fk 1 0.81 0.72 0.66 0.
