The new LWLF2 features the same ultra-small 2.5-millimeter height dimension as its predecessor, the LWL1. It’s designed with tapped rails for bottom mounting and stability. As part of IKO’s LWL family of miniature rolling motion guides, the LWLF2 guide is structured with two rows of balls that contact the raceway at four points to provide high stability and accuracy even in applications with varying load direction or complexity.
Additional features of the LWLF2 include:
- Compact size. In addition to its 2.5mm sectional height, the LWLF2 has a track rail width of 2mm and slide unit width of 5mm.
- Corrosion resistance. Stainless steel construction is standard, making the new guides desirable in wet environments and applications where rust prevention oil cannot be used, such as in a cleanroom environment.
- Light weight. The LWLF2’s rail weighs 2g per 100mm of length, and the slide unit weighs 0.21g.
IKO’s LWL family of miniature linear motion rolling guides is appropriate for robotics and grippers, semiconductor fabrication, life science and aerospace applications.
