Segmented guide rail uses composite materials and integrated teeth to prevent uncontrolled cage movement while reducing overall weight.
Magnetic pre-tensioning reduces moving mass in lithographic gas bearings while maintaining stiffness.
Segmented plate-like members with oversized bolt holes allow post-assembly gap adjustment, reducing machining complexity and processing time.
A multi-row rolling element housing band displaces elements across rows to increase contributing load carriers.
Granite wedges and air bearings replace rolling elements to eliminate thermal expansion and stiffness limits in long-range vertical stages.
Curved carrying surfaces on the slider absorb manufacturing tolerances, preventing relative position changes between the circulator and slider.
Segmented guide surfaces constrain the moving part to minimize friction contact area while maintaining alignment stability.
Rotating divided retainers enable smooth direction changes in roller chains, preventing gaps and excessive force on twisted paths.
A rod-shaped longitudinal seal uses internal spring force to maintain contact pressure against a guide rail.
Segmented securing portions engage a guiding rail during bearing malfunction, preventing detachment while maintaining compact weight.
Curved first crowning and straight-line second crowning on slider raceways suppress rolling element passing vibrations while maintaining rigidity.
Diagonal scooping parts in a roller screw guide rollers into the return path, preventing collisions with the lip portion that cause jamming and breakage.
