There are many ways to install linear guide rails, the typical ones are 1. Double straight installation 2. Double reverse installation 3. Double side installation, the guide rail moves 4. Double mixed installation 5. Double side installation, the slider moves these type, but what about vertical installation of linear guides? The actual corresponding is an installation method that belongs to the side installation and is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. So what needs to be paid attention to in this type of installation method? The following editor will introduce to you the main points of attention for vertical installation of linear guide rails:
Vertical installation of linear guides
1. Pay attention to stability
Customized connecting pieces make the overall structure more stable, the running effect is better, and avoid top-heavy.
2. Flatness
Although it is installed vertically, it is still necessary to pay attention to the flatness of the installation surface. On the one hand, the installation surface itself should be flat, and on the other hand, the straightness of the installation surface should be high. In addition, remove the burrs, dirt and surface scars on the mechanical installation surface.
3. Guide rail selection
The load capacity and related performance of the linear guide rail installed vertically will be weaker than that of the horizontal installation, so there should be enough margin when selecting the linear guide rail.
4. Fastener fit
In order to have high precision, the corresponding fasteners, such as the corresponding screw holes of screws, must match, and all fasteners must be correspondingly matched, otherwise the precision will be greatly reduced.
In a word, the above are the main points of attention for the vertical installation of linear guide rails, but it is worth noting that different vertical side installation methods need to be treated in a targeted manner, so the installation precautions are also differentiated. Regardless of whether the linear guide is installed horizontally or vertically, the installation steps of the linear guide are similar!
