Nippon Bearing – Slide Guides

This catalog focuses on NB slide guides—precision rails and carriages designed for smooth, low‑stick‑slip motion. It details carriage forms, seal options and preload/accuracy classes so you can balance rigidity, friction and running noise for each axis.

Dimensional tables pair bolt patterns and shoulder heights with allowable moments and basic load ratings. The catalog explains reference edge usage and rail parallelism requirements, together with practical alignment sequences that reduce rework.

Lubrication strategies are presented for both long‑life grease reservoirs and centralized oil systems; wipers, scrapers and cover options are summarized for dusty or wet environments. For higher cleanliness, low‑outgassing lubricants and stainless configurations are identified.

Typical applications include gantry pick‑and‑place, vision inspection stages and packaging equipment where consistent straightness and quiet travel are critical.
