1. The Characteristics of AMT Linear Guideways

High positioning accuracy, high repeatability
The AMT linear guideway is a design of rolling motion with a low friction coefficient, and the difference between dynamic and
static friction is very small. Therefore, the stick-slip will not occur when submicron feeding is making.
Low frictional resistance, high precision maintained for long period

The frictional resistance of a linear guideway is only 1/20th to 1/40th of that in a slide guide. With a linear guideway, a well
lubrication can be easily achieved by supplying grease through the grease nipple on carriage or utilizing a centralized oil
pumping system, thus the frictional resistance is decreased and the accuracy could be maintained for long period.
High rigidity with four-way load design

The optimum design of geometric mechanics makes the linear guideway to bear the load in all four directions, radial,
reversed radial, and two lateral directions. Furthermore, the rigidity of linear guideway could be easily achieved by
preloading carriage and by adding the number of carriages.
Suitable for high speed operation

Due to the characteristic of low frictional resistance, the required driving force is much lower than in other systems, thus
the power consumption is small. Moreover, the temperature rising effect is small even under high speed operation.
Easy installation with interchangeability

Compared with the high-skill required scrapping process of conventional slide guide, the linear guideway can offer high
precision even if the mounting surface is machined by milling or grinding. Moreover the interchangeability of linear guideway
gives a convenience for installation and future maintenance.

3. Load Rating and Service Life of Linear Guideway

To obtain a model which is most suitable for your service conditions of the linear guideway system, the load capacity and
service life of the model must be taken into consideration.
To verify the static load capacity, the basic static load rating (C0) is taken to obtain the static safety factor. The service life
can be obtained by calculating the nominal life based on basic dynamic load rating. As the raceways or rolling balls are
subjected repeated stresses, the service life of a linear guideway is defined as the total running distance that the linear
guideway travel until flaking occurs.
3.1 Basic Static Load Rating (C0)

A localized permanent deformation will develop between raceways and rolling balls when a linear guideway receives an
excessive load or a large impact. If the magnitude of the deformation exceeds a certain limit, it could obstruct the smooth
motion of the linear guideway.
The basic static load rating (Co) refers to a static load in a given direction with a specific magnitude applied at the contact
area under the most stress where the sum of permanent deformation develops between the raceway and rolling balls is
0.0001 times of the diameter of rolling ball. Therefore, the basic static load rating sets a limit on the static permissible load.
3.2 Static Permissible Moment (M0)

When a moment is applied to a linear guideway, the rolling balls on both ends will receive the most stress among the stress
distribution over the rolling balls in the system.
The static permissible moment (Mo) refers to a static moment in a given direction with specific magnitude applied at the
contact area under the most stress where the sum of permanent deformation develops between the raceway and rolling
balls is 0.0001 times the diameter of rolling ball. Therefore, the static permissible moment sets a limit on the static moment.
In linear guideway system, the static permissible moment is defined as MPMYMR three directions. See Fig. 1.

3.3 Static Safety Factor (fs)

Due to the impact and vibration while the guideway at rest or moving, or the inertia from start and stop, the linear guideway
may encounter with an unexpected external force. Therefore, the safety factor should be taken into consideration for effects
of such operating loads.
The static safety factor (fs) is a ratio of the basic static load rating (C0) to the calculated working load. The static safety
factor for different kinds of application is shown as Table 1.

3.4 Basic Dynamic Load Rating (C)

Even when identical linear guideways in a group are manufactured in the same way or applied under the same condition,
the service life may be varied. Thus, the service life is used as an indicator for determining the service life of a linear
guideway system.
The nominal life (L) is defined as the total running distance that 90% of identical linear guideways in a group, when they
are applied under the same conditions, can work without developing flaking.
The basic dynamic load rating (C) can be used to calculate the service life when linear guideway system response to a load.
The basic dynamic load rating (C) is defined as a load in a given direction and with a given magnitude that when a group
of linear guideways operate under the same conditions, the nominal life of the linear guideway is 50 km. (if the rolling
element is ball)
3.5 Calculation of Nominal Life (L)

The nominal life of a linear guideway can be affected by the actual working load. The nominal life can be calculated base
on selected basic dynamic load rating and actual working load.
The nominal life of linear guideway system could be influenced widely by environmental factors such like hardness of
raceway, environmental temperature, motion conditions, thus these factors should be considered for calculation of nominal
life.

Hardness factor fH
In order to ensure the optimum load capacity of linear guideway system, the hardness of raceway must be HRC58~64. If
the hardness is lower than this range, the permissible load and nominal life will be decreased. For this reason, the basic
dynamic load rating and the basic static load rating should be multiplied by hardness factor for rating calculation. See Fig. 2.
The hardness requirement of AMT linear guideway is above HRC58, thus the fH=1.0.

Temperature factor fT
When operating temperature higher than 100C, the nominal life will be degraded. Therefore, the basic dynamic and static
load rating should be multiplied by temperature factor for rating calculation. See Fig. 3.

is strongly recommend. For special need, please contact us.

Load factor fw
Although the working load of liner guideway system can be obtained by calculation, the actual load is mostly higher than
calculated value. This is because the vibration and impact, caused by mechanical reciprocal motion, are difficult to be
estimated. This is especially true when the vibration from high speed operation and the impact from repeated start and
stop.
Therefore, for consideration of speed and vibration, the basic dynamic load rating should be divided by the empirical load
factor. See Table 2.

3.6 Calculation of Service Life in Time (Lh)

stroke length and reciprocating cycles are constant.

4. Friction Coefficient
A linear guideway manipulates linear motion by circulating balls between the rail and the carriage. In which type of motion,
the frictional resistance of linear guideway can be reduced to 1/20th to 1/40th of that in a slide guide. This is especially true
in static friction which is much smaller than that in other systems. Moreover, the difference between static and dynamic
friction is very little, so that the stick-slip situation does not occur. As such low friction, the submicron feeding can be carried
out. The frictional resistance of a linear guideway system can be varied with the magnitude of load and preload, the viscosity
resistance of lubricant, and other factors.
The frictional resistance can be calculated by the following equation base on working load and seals resistance. Generally,
the friction coefficient will be different from series to series, the friction coefficient of MSA and MSB series is 0.002~0.003
(without considering the seal resistance).

5. Calculation of Working Load

The load applied to a linear guideway system could be varied with several factors such as the location of the center gravity
of an object, the location of the thrust, and the inertial forces due to acceleration and deceleration during starting and
stopping.
To select a correct linear guideway system, the above conditions must be considered for determining the magnitude of
applied load.

6. Calculation of the Equivalent Load

The linear guideway system can take up loads and moments in all four directions those are radial load, reverse-radial
load, and lateral load simultaneously. When more than one load is exerted on linear guideway system simultaneously,
all loads could be converted into radial or lateral equivalent load for calculating service life and static safety factor.
MSA series guideway has four-way equal load design. The calculation of equivalent load for the use of two or more
linear guideways is shown as below.
PE = PR + PT

7. The Calculation of the Mean Load

When a linear guideway system receives varying loads, the service life could be calculated in consideration of varying
loads of the host-system operation conditions.
The mean load (Pm) is the load that the service life is equivalent to the system which under the varying load conditions.
If the rolling elements are balls, the equation of mean load is:

Pm = 3 . (Pn3 . L n )
L n=1
Pm Mean load (N)

Pn Varying load (N)

Linear rails to be applied on the same plane are all marked with the same serial number, and "MR" is marked at the end
of serial number for indicating the master rail, shown as Fig. 6. The reference side of carriage is the surface where is ground
to a specified accuracy.
For normal grade (N), it has no mark "MR" on rail which means any one of rails with same serial number could be the
master rail.

14.2 Characteristics
The trains of balls are designed to a contact angle of 45which enables it to bear an equal load in radial, reversed radial
and lateral directions. Therefore, it can be applied in any installation direction. Furthermore, MSA and MSB series can
achieve a well balanced preload for increasing rigidity in four directions while keeping a low frictional resistance. This is
especially suit to high precision and high rigidity required motion.
The patent design of lubrication route makes the lubricant evenly distribute in each circulation loop. Therefore, the optimum
lubrication can be achieved in any installation direction, and this promotes the performance in running accuracy, service life,
and reliability.
High Rigidity, Four-way Equal Load
The four trains of balls are allocated to a circular contact angle at 45, thus each train of balls can take up an equal rated
load in all four directions. Moreover, a sufficient preload can be achieved to increase rigidity, and this makes it suitable for
any kind of installation.
Self Alignment Capability
The self adjustment is performed spontaneously as the design of face-to-face (DF) circular arc groove. Therefore, the installation
error could be compensated even under a preload, and which results in precise and smooth linear motion.
Smooth Movement with Low Noise

The simplified design of circulating system with strengthened synthetic resin accessories makes the movement smooth
and quiet.
Interchangeability
For interchangeable type of linear guideway, the dimensional tolerances are strictly maintained within a reasonable range,
and this has made the random matching of the same size of rails and carriages possible. Therefore, the similar preload and
accuracy can be obtained even under the random matching condition, As a result of this advantage, the linear guideway can
be stocked as standard parts, the installation and maintenance become more convenient. Moreover, this is also beneficial
for shortening the delivery time.

14.6 Accuracy Grade

The accuracy of linear guideway includes the dimensional tolerance of height, width, and the running accuracy of the
carriage on the rail. The standard of the dimension difference is built for two or more carriages on a rail or a number of rails
are used on the same plane.
The accuracy of linear guideway is divided into 5 classes, normal grade (N), high precision (H), precision (P), super precision
(SP), and ultra precision (UP), as shown in Table 5.
The running accuracy is the deviation of parallelism between the reference surface of carriage and reference surface of rail
when carriage moving over the entire length of rail.
Fig. 10 Measuring the running parallelism
The height difference (H) means the height difference among carriages installed on the same plane.
The width difference (W2) means the width difference among carriages installed on a rail.
Additional remarks
Running parallelism C, D (m)
1. When two or more linear guideways are used on the same plane, the tolerance of W2 and difference of W2 is applicable

14.7 Preload and Rigidity

The rigidity of a linear guideway could be enhanced by increasing the preload. As shown in Fig. 12, the load could be raised
up to 2.8 times the preload applied. The preload is represented by negative clearance resulting from the increase of ball
diameter. Therefore, the preload should be considered in calculation service life.

14.8 Lubrication
A well lubrication is important for maintaining the function of linear guideway. If the lubrication is not sufficient, the frictional
resistance at rolling area will increase and the service life will be shortened as a result of wear of rolling parts.
Two primary lubricants are both grease and oil used for linear motion system, and the lubrication methods are categorized
into manual and forced oiling. The selection of lubricant and its method should be based on the consideration of operating
speed and environment requirement.
(1) Grease lubrication

The grease feeding interval will be varied with different operating conditions and environments. Under normal operating
condition, the grease should be replenished every 100km of travel. The amount of grease for each type of carriage is shown
as Table 7.
The standard grease for the MSA and MSB series is lithium-based grease No.2.

Note:
When the operating stroke length less than the sum of length of two carriages, the lubrication fitting should be applied on
both ends of carriage for adequacy. Moreover, if the stroke length less than a half of the length of a carriage, the carriage
should be moved back and forth up to the length of two carriages while lubricating.
