Slideways for heavy loads
Where recirculating ball bearing guides reach their limits, the effective range of our high-performance plain bearing guides for heavy loads begins. These offer low friction and are designed for high loads and damping, making them ideal for demanding applications in linear technology. Our adjustable sliding elements on metallic sliding guides exceed the limits known to date. They are smooth-running, maintenance-free and durable, and do not require the use of lubricants. Our sliding guides can be used wherever other guides reach their limits or are impaired by contamination. Click on the image of the high-performance sliding guides for the data sheet. Our product specialists will be happy to assist you in selecting the right guide system.

Frequently asked questions about slideways
What different types of guides are there in mechanical engineering?
Technische Antriebselemente offers a wide range of guide systems in mechanical engineering, including roller guides, ball guides and sliding guides. Each of these guide types has specific characteristics and advantages that make them suitable for different applications. Roller guides offer a high load capacity and rigidity, ball guides are known for their precision and low friction, while sliding guides impress with their robustness and low maintenance requirements.
What are the main advantages of high-performance slideways in mechanical engineering?
High performance slideways offer high load and torque capacity, precision, cleanliness, damping and are suitable for use in extreme conditions such as high temperatures and dirty environments. Plastic sliding guides enable oil and grease-free operation and do not release any sliding particles, making them ideal for clean room, vacuum or food areas.
What is the difference between hydrodynamic and other sliding guides?
Hydrodynamic sliding guides use a fluid film for load transmission, which makes them particularly suitable for applications with high speeds and loads. These guides significantly reduce friction, minimize wear and extend the service life of machine components. Their high efficiency and low maintenance make them an optimal choice for industrial plants where reliability and durability are crucial.
For which applications are roller guides more suitable and for which sliding guides?
Roller guides offer lower friction and are suitable for higher speeds, while sliding guides are better suited for higher loads and damping and are less susceptible to contamination. Contact one of our experts for technical advice!
