Linear guides are precision components, so a considerable degree of caution is required when using them. Even if high-performance linear guides are used improperly, they cannot achieve the expected performance effect and are prone to damage. So, when using linear guides, the following precautions should be taken:

Prevent rusting

When directly taking the linear guide rail by hand, it is necessary to thoroughly wash off the sweat on the hands and apply high-quality mineral oil before operation. Especially during the rainy season and summer, attention should be paid to rust prevention.

Keep the environment clean

Keep the linear guide and its surrounding environment clean. Even tiny dust that cannot be seen by the naked eye entering the guide will increase its wear, vibration, and noise.

Installation should be done carefully and meticulously

Linear guides should be carefully installed and used, and strong stamping is not allowed. It is not allowed to directly strike the guide rail with a hammer, and pressure transmission through rolling elements is not allowed.

The installation tool should be suitable

Use appropriate and accurate installation tools for linear guides, and try to use specialized tools as much as possible, avoiding the use of fabrics and short fibers.
