Features

Maximum guiding accuracy

The MarMotion rotary stroke bearings offer a very high level of guiding accuracy for linear and rotary movements. This is achieved by finely machined surfaces of the guide shaft and guide bush, for which the form accuracy in terms of roundness and cylindricity is within 1/3 of ISO tolerance class IT 3, as well as by only using steel balls in quality grade 5, type N in accordance with DIN 5401 or ISO 3290.

Backlash-free movements

The gap between the guide bush and guide shaft is a few µm smaller than the diameter of the balls, so that the balls deflect slightly. The preloaded balls roll without slip between the guide shaft and guide bush and ensure that the guide is free of backlash. The optimum preload is set at the factory by pairing of the guide shaft, ball cage, and guide bush. This simplifies the installation of the bearing.

Smooth running

MarMotion rotary stroke bearings enable the highest guiding accuracy in combination with extremely low friction. A slip-free rolling movement of the balls on finely machined surfaces results in very low friction values and ensures smoothest, stick-slip-free motions.

High loading capacity and rigidity

The large number of balls with tight form tolerances and the excellent quality of the running surfaces of the MarMotion rotary stroke bearings provide a large number of contact points and thus an even distribution of forces in the bearing. Design engineers benefit from a high loading capacity in a small installation space. Reliability and endurance of the bearing is significantly increased.

Fast movements, high accelerations

Fast movements with high accelerations are possible due to the slip-free rolling movement of the balls at lowest friction in the MarMotion rotary stroke bearings. Due to their lower inertia forces, plastic ball cages are particularly suitable for high-frequency rotational and linear movements.

Long service life

MarMotion rotary stroke bearings can be described as virtually wear-free thanks to the careful selection and heat treatment of the materials and the highest quality of the running surfaces.

Low maintenance

In most cases, a thin film of roller bearing grease is sufficient for months of maintenance-free, continuous operation.

Exchange and replacement

The high-precision production of the guide shaft and guide bush, the exclusive use of grade N balls and a continuous quality assurance ensure the interchangeability of the rotary stroke bearing. Permanent fault-free operation is guaranteed.

Customized Designs

The very extensive catalog range of MarMotion rotary stroke bearings offers suitable solutions for use in many different application areas. In addition, customized designs based on a workpiece drawing can be produced for specific applications and to meet particular requirements. The use of alternative materials opens up even further possibilites.
