Overview

• Global standard size (Caged designed)
• GK series: individual blocks are stocked for easy & fast interchangeability
• Caged technology provides the following benefits; o Long service life and long-term maintenance-free operation o Low dust generation and quiet operating noise o High speed operation o Higher Dynamic load ratings over comparable full complement linear guides which means longer life for a given envelope
• Flanged block with tapped holes (can be installed from either the top or bottom)
• Large permissible load: 13x load capacity compared to linear bushing (round shaft), equating to 2,200x longer life and significant downsizing potential
• 4-way equal load structure: rated loads applied to the block are uniform in the four direction (radial, reverse radial, and lateral directions), enabling the linear motion guide to be used in all orientations and in extensive applications
• Mounting error absorbing capability: THK's unique circular-arc groves enables a mounting error to be absorbed, achieving highly accurate, smooth straight motion
• High durability: smooth motion, high wear resistance, and long-term maintenance of accuracy are achieved because of the circular arc design that prevents differential slip of the balls from occurring
• Energy efficient: 10x energy saving compared to sliding guide *based on internal test result
