Intechangeable with other manufacturers NOOK Precision Profile Rail Linear Guide Systems provide stable and efficient linear motion guidance under variable speeds and high load conditions.

NOOK Precision Profile Rail runner blocks are available in two designs. One runner block design utilizes steel return tubes for ball recirculation and the other utilizes a plastic end cap for ball recirculation. The tube type recirculation system enables the runner block to be used for higher speed applications. The plastic end cap runner block is narrower in width than the return tube style block. Eight different models are available to meet the requirements of height, loads, mounting holes, etc.

NOOK PRECISION PROFILE RAIL SYSTEM FEATURES

Precise Linear Motion

  • Reference face and four grooves are ground simultaneously by special grinding machines
  • Simple construction of the runner block
  • The rail’s high degree of straightness enhances final installation accuracy

Equal Load Carrying Capacity in Four Directions

  • Steel balls recirculate between the rail and the runner block and contact both surfaces at a 45° angle. Equal load can be applied bi-directionally in both horizontal and vertical axes.
  • The NOOK system is also capable of withstanding moment loads.

High Rigidity and High Moment Rigidity

  • The benefits of full radius ball raceways are well established in the manufacture of precision ball screws. The circular shape provides ideal ball to ball raceway contact giving great rigidity and that is why NOOK has incorporated this design into their Profile Rail Systems.
  • The precise geometry and the square configuration of the ball raceway is ideal for preloading and system rigidity.
  • A range of preloads are available depending upon the requirements for rigidity and load capacity. Preload is achieved by the selection of precisely graded ball diameter.

 

Smooth Operation at Both High and Low Speeds

  • Precision ground full radius ball tracks provide smooth ball circulation and reduced friction.
  • The unique ball recirculation design permits stable, high speed travel.

Reliability

  • High quality materials are hardened by an advanced heat treatment system resulting in increased durability and performance.
  • Direct lubrication to ball grooves through a grease fitting ensures adequate lubrication. The one-piece seal design retains lubricant and effectively protects against contamination.
  • Full radius ball raceways self-align to help absorb small mounting errors and distributes related stresses evenly.
  • The NOOK Profile Rail design has been extensively tested to ensure long reliable life.

Versatile Installation

The compact design of NOOK runner blocks offers greater design flexibility and several methods of mounting compared to other linear guidance systems. Special retainers and recirculation tubes prevent balls from escaping when the runner block is removed from the rail. (remove slowly with no-load)

The combined effect of the features listed above results in the following advantages:

  1. Improved working accuracy
  2. Greater performance control at low speed
  3. Low temperature operation at high speed
  4. Low friction
  5. Reduced machining and assembly costs
  6. Easy maintenance
