Installation steps of THK Linear Motion Guide.

First, before installing the THK Linear Motion Guide, the burrs, dirt, and surface scars on the mechanical installation surface must be removed. THK Linear Motion Guide is coated with anti-rust oil before installation. Please wash the reference surface with cleaning oil before installation. Normally, after the anti-rust oil is removed, the reference surface is more likely to rust, so it is recommended to apply a low-viscosity spindle lubricant. Second, gently place the main rail on the bed, and use lateral fixing screws or other fixing fixtures to lightly fit the linear rail and the lateral installation surface. Before installation and use, ensure whether or not the screw holes are consistent. If the machining holes of the bottom don't match and forcibly tighten the bolts, it'll greatly affect the mixing accuracy and quality of use.

Third, tighten the positioning screws of the THK Linear Motion Guide from the center to both sides to make the track slightly fit the vertical mounting surface. The sequence is to start from the central position and tighten to each end to urge an additional stable accuracy. Once the vertical reference surface is slightly tightened, the lockup force of the lateral reference surface is strong, so the most rail will sure as shooting work the lateral reference surface. Fourth, use a torque wrench to slowly tighten the set screws of the slide rail according to the tightening torque of various materials. Fifth, use the same installation method to install the auxiliary rails and install the sliding seats on the main rail and the auxiliary rails individually. Note that after the sliding seat is installed on the linear slide, many subsequent accessories cannot be installed due to limited installation space. The required accessories must be installed at this stage. The accessories may be oil nozzles, oil pipe joints, or dustproof systems. Sixth, gently place the mobile platform on the sliding seats of the main rail and the secondary rail. Tighten the lateral tightening screws on the mobile platform first, and then install them in sequence.

The load capacity of THK Linear Motion Guide.

The slider is an important part of the THK Linear Motion Guide, which will directly affect the accuracy of the guide rail. So the choice of it is very prudent. The load capacity means how much weight the slider can bear, which is related to the safety factor of the THK Linear Motion Guide when working. Usually, the manufacturer will give a maximum load safety factor table, and the user can choose the one within the maximum value according to his needs.
