In the relentless world of industrial automation, the performance of core components is paramount. For applications dominated by high speeds and heavy loads—from industrial robots to CNC machining centers—the choice of a self-lubricating linear guideway is critical. Traditional linear guide block options often fail under such pressure, leading to downtime and wear. Our mission is to set a new standard. This self-lubricating linear guideway is not just a product; it is the cornerstone of reliable motion. We specialize in manufacturing the most durable self-lubricating linear slides on the market.

1. The Engineering Challenge: Why Standard Components Fail
Standard guides cannot cope with the demands of modern machinery. A conventional linear guide block lacks the internal resources for long-term performance. This is where a dedicated self-lubricating linear guideway proves its worth. The design of a standard linear guide block is simply inadequate. The superiority of a self-lubricating linear guideway becomes immediately apparent. For a high-performance linear guide block, internal lubrication is key.

6.How to Select the Correct Linear Guide Block with Oil Holes
Selecting the right linear guide block is a systematic process that ensures optimal performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness for your linear rail system.
Step 1: Define the Application Requirements
Load Capacity: Determine the magnitude and direction (vertical, horizontal, moment) of the static and dynamic loads acting on the linear guide block. Manufacturers provide detailed load ratings (static and dynamic) in their catalogs.
Speed and Acceleration: The required travel speed and acceleration profiles will influence the preload selection and lubricant type.
Accuracy and Repeatability: Define the necessary level of travel accuracy (e.g., ±5μm/300mm) and running parallelism. Precision grades are standardized (e.g., Normal, High, Precision, Ultra-Precision).
Environmental Conditions: Identify exposure to dust, moisture, chemicals, extreme temperatures, or cleanroom requirements. This dictates the need for seals, wipers, and special coatings.
Step 2: Determine the Size and Type
Rail Width (Size): This is the primary dimension (e.g., 15, 20, 25, 35, 45, 55). Larger sizes generally offer higher load capacity and rigidity. The choice of linear guide block is always tied to the rail size.
Block Type:
Flange Type: The most common, with mounting holes on the top surface, offering easy installation and good stability.
Square Type: Often used when the load direction is ambiguous or for compact designs.
Long Type / Heavy-Load Type: A longer linear guide block incorporates more rolling elements, significantly increasing load capacity and moment resistance.
Preload: Preload is an internal clearance control. Negative clearance (preload) increases rigidity and accuracy but also increases friction and heat generation. Select based on application needs: light preload for smooth motion, medium for general machining, heavy for high-rigidity applications like milling.
Step 3: Specify the Lubrication and Sealing Features
Oil Hole Configuration: Based on the discussion in Chapter 2, specify whether you need a standard grease fitting, an oil reservoir, or another type. This is a critical part of creating a functional self-lubricating linear guideway.
Seals and Wipers: To protect the linear guide block and its lubricant, specify the appropriate sealing system. Standard rubber seals, scrapers, or metal labyrinth seals can be chosen based on the contamination level.
Step 4: Consult Manufacturer Catalogs and Technical Data
Never guess. Use the manufacturer's selection software or catalog.
Calculate Life Expectancy: Use the dynamic load rating (C) and the applied load (P) to calculate the theoretical travel life (L10) using the formula: L10 = (C/P)^3 * 50 km. Ensure the calculated life meets your design requirements.
Check Mounting Dimensions: Carefully review the dimensional drawings for the linear guide block and its matching rail to ensure proper integration into your machine design.
Verify Accessory Compatibility: Ensure that the chosen oil hole configuration does not interfere with other components in your assembly.
Step 5: Consider the Complete Linear Rail System
Remember that the linear guide block is only one part of the system. You must also select the appropriate rail length, hardness, and mounting accessories (such as bolts and base preparation) to ensure the entire linear rail system performs as intended.
By following this structured selection process, engineers can confidently specify the most suitable self-lubricating linear slides, ensuring a robust, reliable, and long-lasting linear motion solution.
