balls: stainless steel ball bearing steel, hardened, X90 CrMoV 18 (1.4112); DIN 5401 and ISO 3290 Grade 5 type P0 respectively.
Characteristics:
brass ball cage with steel balls arranged in a spiral form, suitable for use with guide bushes DE14 and DE16;
specially developed for the precision mechanical and optical industry;
use of smaller balls in relation to DD15;
reduced installation space in combination with guide bushes from DE14 and DE16;
the arrangement of the balls, which are arranged in spiral form, is optimal for linear and rotating movements;
the ball chambers are mechanically caulked so that the balls remain captive but still move easily;
the balls are arranged in an optimum formation so that each ball can run on its own track for both linear and rotary movements;
the ball formation ensures smooth running and substantially lengthens the service life of the rotary stroke bearing;
brass offers high mechanical stability, optimum sliding properties, and high resistance to abrasion and heat;
for instructions on installation and maintenance, please refer to the appendix;
maximum temperature for the cage up to 150°C;
F (N) in the table represents the bearing capacity with an even radial load; a load-bearing capacity calculation must be made in the event of momentary action;
x in the table represents the number of balls.
Special requests:
The ball cages can be supplied with stainless steel or ceramic balls. Other dimensions or designs are available on the basis of workpiece drawings and can be produced using different cage materials.
