C-Lube Linear Way ML: Tiny Powerhouse for Precision Motion

Introducing the C-Lube Linear Way ML, a miniature marvel of engineering designed to deliver exceptional performance.

Our C-Lube Linear Way ML lightweight miniature guides feature built-in lubrication. The C-lube unit doesn’t contact the track rail, enabling smooth motion without increasing rolling resistance.

Components are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This makes them suitable for applications that don’t use rust-preventive oil such as clean rooms.

Slide units incorporate ball-retaining bands that prevent the loss of balls when removing them from the rails.

Both standard and wide versions are available, with slide unit lengths ranging from short to extra-long.

• Compact Design, Maximum Performance. Our innovative two-row, four-point contact structure and advanced miniaturisation technology enable us to create incredibly small linear motion rolling guides. The LWL1 model, for instance, boasts a track rail width of just 1mm.

• Our slide unit and track rail systems offer extensive customisation options to meet your unique requirements. Slide units are available in two configurations: standard and wide, the latter optimised for single-row track rail installations. These are available in four carriage length variations. Track rail options include standard and tapped types, the latter equipped with embedded screw threads for enhanced mounting versatility.

• The slide unit's ball retention design enhances operational ease. The ball retaining band securely holds the ball in place, minimising the risk of loss when the unit is detached from the track rail.

• Our stainless steel products offer excellent corrosion resistance. This material is particularly suited for applications in cleanroom environments and other settings where rust prevention oil is not preferred. For general-purpose applications, we also provide high-carbon steel options
• C-Lube Linear Way L series provides a diverse range of solutions for specialised environments. These solutions include high-speed, low-noise options, achieved by combining silicon nitride ceramics and low dust-generation specifications, designed for cleanroom and other sensitive applications.

Key Benefits:

• Ultra-Compact Design: Our innovative, two-row, four-point contact structure and advanced miniaturisation technology enable incredibly small sizes. The LWL1 model, for instance, boasts a track rail width of just 1mm!
• Smooth, Frictionless Motion: Built-in lubrication ensures seamless operation without the need for external lubricants. The C-Lube unit's non-contact design minimises rolling resistance, resulting in smooth, efficient movement.
• Durable and Reliable: Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, these guides are ideal for cleanroom and other demanding environments.
• Easy Maintenance: Ball-retaining bands prevent ball loss during removal, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.
• Versatile Options: Choose from a wide range of standard and wide versions, with various slide unit lengths to suit your specific needs.
• Tailored Solutions: Our customisable options, including standard and tapped rail types, allow you to optimise your system for optimal performance.
