B. Characteristics
MSC st ows with Gothic-arch groove and designed to contact angle of 45° which enables it to
bear an equal load in radial, reversed radial and lateral directions. Furthermore, ultra compact
and low friction resistance design is suit to compact equipment. The 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.

 LINEAR GUIDEWAY
Four-way Equal Load
The two trains of balls are allocated to a Gothic-arch groove contact angle at 45°, thus each train

Miniature Type, MSC

of balls can takeup an equal rated load in all four directions.

Ultra Compact
The ultra compact design is suit to the compact application with limited in space.

㜮
Ball Retainer

MSD Stainless Steel Series

Design with ball retainer can prevent ball form dropping.

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.
