Why choose aluminum for guide rail profiles?

??We all know that aluminum profile molds are suitable for some profiles with unconventional cross-sections. Generally speaking, conventional profiles have ready-made molds, so there is no need for aluminum profile molds. Guide rails are used to guide and fix machine parts, special equipment, and instruments. Each guide rail has different features, so aluminum profile molds are needed.

??Guide rails are also called slide rails, linear guide rails, and linear slide rails. They are used for linear parallel reciprocating motion. They have higher rated loads than linear bearings and can withstand a certain torque. They can achieve high-precision linear motion under high load conditions and are efficient and durable. Guide rails can be used for any machine or equipment that needs to slide.

??Why should the material of the guide rail be made of aluminum profiles? The guide rail is very fast during operation and there will be friction, which requires the surface of the guide rail to be absolutely smooth. The main component of aluminum profiles is aluminum, which is mixed with magnesium and zinc to form aluminum alloy. The processing precision is particularly high, and the surface will be very smooth after anodizing. Lubricating oil is added during operation to ensure smooth operation of machinery and equipment. In addition, aluminum alloy has strong plasticity and can be extruded into various complex cross-section profiles. The designed cross-section will also be more in line with the actual cross-section.
