What types of sliding guides are there: Sliding guides are mainly divided into three types: linear sliding guides, rotating sliding guides and spherical sliding guides.
The operating principle of sliding guide rails:
The operating principle of sliding guide rails is based on the principle of sliding friction. Sliding guide rails usually consist of two parts: a sliding block and a base. The sliding block is installed on the object to be moved, and the base is installed in a fixed position. The contact surface between the sliding block and the base is treated with friction material to increase friction and wear resistance.
When an external force acts on the sliding block, the sliding block will maintain its original state due to inertia and will not stop until it encounters equal and opposite frictional resistance. Therefore, the force received by the sliding guide rail does not directly act on the supporting structure of the guide rail, but is transmitted to the guide rail through the object where the sliding block is located.
Features of sliding guide rails:
The characteristics of sliding guide rails include smooth operation, simple manufacturing, low cost, large friction resistance, low movement accuracy, and prone to crawling when moving at low speeds.
