Shaft guidance systems are precision-engineered solutions that ensure smooth, accurate, and reliable linear motion across a wide range of industrial and automation applications. These systems are designed to support guided movement using hardened shafts, linear ball bearings, and housings, offering a robust and flexible approach to linear motion technology.
Whether you’re building machinery, designing automation equipment, or upgrading an existing system, shaft guidance systems deliver consistent performance, high load capacity, and easy integration.
A shaft guidance system typically consists of a hardened and ground linear shaft, linear bearings (such as ball bushings), bearing housings, and shaft supports or end blocks. The linear bearings move along the shaft, enabling precise back-and-forth motion with minimal friction.
These systems are ideal for both low and high-speed operations, offering smooth travel while handling radial and axial loads. They can be installed in horizontal, vertical, or inclined orientations, depending on the application’s needs.
