Enhanced Lifespan for Machines and People

Wherever equipment and machines must perform precise motions at high speeds, the linear guideway with integrated FORMULA-S cage control delivers the required precision conditions.

FORMULA-S brings the linear guideway into the correct position — guaranteeing that the cage, supported by rolling elements, is always guided steadily in the center of two rails.

Linear guideways play a vital role in medical technology. Precise motion is critical for meaningful tomography images, X-ray images, or tissue samples to achieve more effective diagnoses.

Likewise, FORMULA-S is also indispensable in the electronics industry. For example, SCHNEEBERGER today supplies the world’s leading manufacturer of wire bonders with customer-specific products upon request.

Benefits of FORMULA-S include:

1. A centered cage at all times despite application-specific influences such as high acceleration, vertical applications, insufficient surrounding structure, uneven load distribution, as well as temperature deviations
2. No time lost resetting the cage, providing very high process availability
3. The selected initial load does not affect the control system
4. Long service life due to cage selection and involute toothing on cage controller
5. Vacuum-compatible up to 10-7 mbar
