High rigidity
   Types SNR/SNS are compact linear motion products based on the design of the LM guide type NR, but with increased block rigidity. Since the radial rigidity, and lateral rigidity were all increased, types SNR/SNS have the highest rigidity in the cages ball series. The two types are available in the same dimensions: type SNR for the radial load type and type SNS for the four way equal load rating type. Either may be selected according to your application.

Improvement of damping effect
   During repid traverse movement, the LM guide moves smoothly with almost no differential ship, and achieves high positioning accuracy. During heavy cutting and slow movement, the propet differential ship according to cutting load is generated. As a result, it increases frictional resistance and improves the damping effect (damping characteristics).

Ultra-heavy load specifications
   The radius of curvature of the raceway is very similar to the ball radius so that the contact area, when subject to a load, is no less than the contact area of a roller type. This allows the new LM guide to have a higher load carrying capacity than the roller type. They do not suffer a locking phenomenon due to the skewing of the rollers, which often occurs to the roller type.

Wide variety of options
   Since various options such as the end seal and cover plate are available, the LM guide can accomodate a variety of specifications.
