RUE-E range roller bearings

A range of linear recirculating roller bearings and guidance systems are now available with special lubricant metering valves, which provide precise doses of lubricant to the linear guides, reducing lubricant consumption by more than 25 per cent compared to standard designs, reducing maintenance and servicing costs and preserving resources for the customer. The RUE-E range of roller monorail guidance systems can now be fitted with special lubricant metering valves to ensure that the lubricant is precisely metered under all operating conditions, regardless of the guide’s mounting position. This is made possible because of several key design factors. The SMDS metering valves replace the standard O-ring seals. These prevent the lubricant duct from running dry, avoid inadequate lubrication or over metering, and allow precise relubrication with very small, precise quantities. The linear guides have only one valve per side and function irrespective of mounting position.
