Summary of common problems in the use of linear guides

2026-04-20


    After operating for a period of time, it may be found that the track of the linear guide has indentation marks, and the slider steel ball is cracked. What is the reason? Usually due to excessive load, the steel ball separates the track, forming a steel ball cracking and causing continuous damage to the track. In this situation, you can consider removing and replacing a large slider, such as 20, changing it to 25, or increasing the number of sliders, reducing the external load, and changing the safety method. If it comes from lubrication, you can consider choosing another smooth oil to increase the smoothness and reduce the moisturizing spacing. It is necessary to constantly check if there is any dirt entering the slide rail. If there is dirt entering, you need to improve the sealing parts, or add dust-proof accessories.

    Why does the steel ball fall out after the slider has been in operation for a period of time? The iron pin falls from the ball groove, causing damage to the steel ball. After the service period is completed, the appearance of the steel piece is tired and overloaded, perhaps due to too much load, incorrect safety, or only one side accepts the force distance. These conditions may cause the steel ball to fall apart.

    After the slider has been walking for a period of time, it is found that the bearing end cover and the end anti-fouling are deformed or cracked? The wrong device method will make only one side of the slider and the track accept force, or it may be damaged by external force, which will cause the deformation or cracking of the bearing end cover and the end anti-fouling. If the inside of the slider is poor, the anti-fouling system can be changed, replaced with other lubricating grease, and the amount of lubricating oil can be added to the interval between the landing and moisturization. When installing, pay attention to the difficulties of the Anchor angle of view. The improvement of product equipment requires professional technical engineers to install it to avoid damage to the linear guide slider.
