How to prevent dust on linear guide rail and how to solve the problem of dust blocking slider?

Dust prevention is the most important part when using linear guide rail system. If dust and other foreign matter enter the back of the linear guide rail, it will cause abnormal wear and shorten the service life. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a sealing device or a dustproof device that meets the requirements of the use environment when dust and other foreign objects are expected to invade.

(1) Special sealing gasket for linear motion system In order to improve the dustproof ability, sealing gaskets made of special synthetic rubber with high wear resistance, as well as accessories such as (laminated contact scraper, etc.) and cleaning rings are provided in each linear guide rail system.

(2) Special telescopic dust cover In places where the use environment is harsh, some models are equipped with special soft retractable dust cover and special dust cover.

Please refer to the corresponding optional accessories (dust-proof) items of various products for details and descriptions of sealing gasket markings. In addition, when it needs to be used in an environment that is easily affected by cutting chips and cutting fluid splashing, it is suggested to use a soft circular telescopic cover to protect the whole system, or use a large telescopic dust cover. When the product is used, the dust will block the installation hole. What method can be used to remove it? Foreign matter may enter the slider after blocking the installation hole. In this case, we suggest installing an internal sealing gasket on the slider. In this way, the entry of foreign bodies and the erosion of water can be well prevented. For some models, it can be installed from bottom to top, so that there is no installation hole on the upper surface of the guide rail.

Dust-proof, Waterproof and Anti-corrosion Treatment Technology of Linear Guideway

Linear guide rail is an important part of mechanical transmission components, which is widely used in aviation manufacturing, machining, automation equipment and other fields. However, the linear guide rail is often affected by dust, moisture, corrosion and other factors in the use process, thus affecting its service life and performance. Therefore, in order to improve the reliability and durability of linear guide rail, dustproof, waterproof and anti-corrosion treatment technology has become an important link in the manufacture and application of linear guide rail.

First, the dustproof treatment technology of linear guide rail During the operation of linear guide rail, it will be disturbed by a large number of impurities such as dust and sand in the environment, thus affecting its stability and accuracy. Therefore, dust prevention technology has become an important link in the manufacture and application of linear guide rail. Sealing structure design: the sealing structure design of linear guide rail is the primary key to dust prevention. Manufacturers need to adopt different sealing structure design schemes according to the use environment and working requirements of linear guide rail. Common seal structure design includes rubber seal, metal seal, cover seal and so on. Surface treatment: the surface treatment of linear guide rail is also an important part of dust prevention. Through surface treatment, the surface of the linear guide rail can be smooth and flat, thus reducing the adhesion of dust and impurities. Surface treatment techniques include grinding, polishing and electrochemical polishing. Coating treatment: coating treatment is also one of the important technologies for dust prevention. By coating a dustproof coating on the surface of the linear guide rail, the adhesion of dust and impurities can be effectively reduced. Commonly used dust-proof coating materials include PTFE, polyethylene, polypropylene and so on.

Second, the waterproof treatment technology of linear guide rail During the use of linear guide rail, it will be disturbed by moisture, which will affect its operation effect and life. Therefore, waterproof treatment technology has become an important link in the manufacture and application of linear guide rail. Sealing structure design: the first step of waterproof treatment is sealing structure design. Manufacturers need to adopt different sealing structure design schemes according to the use environment and working requirements of linear guide rail. Common seal structure design includes rubber seal, metal seal, cover seal and so on. Waterproof coating treatment: Waterproof coating treatment is also one of the important waterproof technologies. By coating a waterproof coating on the surface of the linear guide rail, the penetration of water can be effectively prevented. Commonly used waterproof coating materials include polyurethane, polyurethane-fatty acid ester, epoxy resin and so on. Material selection: Material selection is also one of the important waterproof technologies. Manufacturers need to choose waterproof materials to make linear guide rails. Commonly used materials include stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic and so on.

Third, the anti-corrosion treatment technology of linear guide rail

The linear guide rail will be disturbed by corrosion in the process of use, which will affect its operation effect and life. Therefore, anti-corrosion treatment technology has become an important link in the manufacture and application of linear guide rail.

Anti-corrosion coating treatment: Anti-corrosion coating treatment is one of the important anti-corrosion technologies. By coating an anticorrosive coating on the surface of the linear guide rail, corrosion can be effectively prevented. Commonly used anticorrosive coating materials include fluorocarbon paint, baking paint and epoxy resin. Material selection: Material selection is also one of the important anti-corrosion technologies. Manufacturers need to choose materials with corrosion resistance to manufacture linear guide rails. Commonly used materials include stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic and so on.

Surface treatment: Surface treatment is also one of the important anti-corrosion technologies. Through surface treatment, the surface of linear guide rail can be smooth and flat, thus reducing the occurrence of corrosion. Surface treatment techniques include grinding, polishing and electrochemical polishing.

In a word, the dustproof, waterproof and anticorrosion treatment technology of linear guide rail is an important link in the manufacture and application of linear guide rail. Manufacturers need to adopt different treatment technologies according to the use environment and working requirements of linear guide rail, so as to improve the reliability and durability of linear guide rail. The maintenance technology of linear guide rail is very important for the service life and performance. Regular cleaning, regular lubrication, regular inspection, avoiding overload and vibration are common maintenance techniques. In addition, regular calibration, maintenance records and regular replacement are also important maintenance contents. Different linear guides need different maintenance technologies, so different maintenance technologies need to be adopted before use, so it is necessary to know and plan them before use. By adopting proper maintenance technology, the reliability and durability of linear guide rail can be improved, thus meeting the needs of different fields.
