What is a cross roller guide?
A cross roller guide consists of
two guide rails, which are connected to by a series of
cylindrical rollers. These rollers are arranged to intersect one another, enabling an
even load distribution in all directions. This leads to
high strength and
precision of the guide, which is particularly advantageous for applications with high loads and tight tolerances.
Where is the cross roller guide used?
The cross roller guide is available in various sizes and designs to meet the specific requirements of each application. It can be used in a wide range of industries, including:
- Robotics
- Medical technology
- Semiconductor production
- Vacuum applications
- Linear and laser adjustments
- Optical industry
What makes the igus alternative to cross roller guides so special?
Thanks to its innovative technology, the
xiros alternative to cross roller guides offers improved performance in many areas of application. The
low rolling friction ensures improved efficiency and
reduces wear. In addition, the design is
extremely slim and enables application in confined installation spaces. Furthermore, with our roller guide you can save up to
60% compared to conventional cross roller guides. In terms of sustainability, it is therefore unbeatable. The absence of lubricating greases leads to a
reduction in maintenance and prevents environmental contamination.
