WE Type - Four-Row Wide Rail Linear Guideway
Construction
The WE series features equal load ratings in the radial, reverse radial and the lateral direction with contact points at
45 degrees. This along with the wide rail, allows the guide way to be rated for high loads, moments and rigidity. By
design, it has a self-aligning capacity that can absorb most installation errors and can meet high accuracy standards.
The ability to use a single rail and to have the low profile with a low center of gravity is ideal where space is limited
and/or high moments are required.
Construction of WE Series
Model Number of WE Series
WE series linear guideways are classified into non-interchangeable and interchangeable types. The sizes of these two types are the same as one another. The main difference is that the interchangeable type of blocks and rails can be freely exchanged and they can maintain P-class accuracy. Because of strict dimensional control, the interchangeable type linear guideways are a wise choice for customers when rails do not need to be matched for an axis. The model number of the WE series identifies the size, type, accuracy class, preload class, etc.
