    The 400 Series profile rail linear guides deliver accurate, reliable, and compliant linear motion in automation applications

    The 400 Series profile rail linear guides deliver accurate, reliable, and compliant linear motion in automation applications. The guides are available in 4 meter lengths, in sizes from 15 to 45 mm in 5-mm increments, for extended joint-free rail transfer. Double-faced ball-track bearing arrangements simplify installation and allow for equal load-carrying capacity in all directions. The 400 Series is available with standard or ball-cage carriages that use the same rail design.

    The guides handle loads from 9,800 to 129,500 N. They feature a polymer ball-return tube that reduces noise while retaining lubrication.
