Dust Proof of Rails

Rail Contamination:

In the machines built with linear guides, chips and foreign objects pile up easily in the rail bores to get inside the carriages. These chips and particles can block the ball circulation and shorten the life of the linear guides.

Bore Cap:

Most chips and foreign objects that fall on the rails can be wiped away by the end seals. Only few accumulate in the bores. The purpose of the rail caps is to block the objects from falling into the bores. These caps can be easily mounted with plastic mallet or plastic panel aligned with bore after rail is secured.

Counter Bore Rails:

The counter bore rails are fastened differently from the conventional rails. Since there are no exposed countersunk bores on top, dust and chips simply cannot be stocked.
