Product Overview: MGN 15 Miniature Linear Guideway
The MGN 15 is a high-precision miniature linear guideway system designed for applications requiring smooth, accurate, and compact linear motion. As a key component in our Linear Motion product line, this system consists of a rail and a corresponding carriage block. The MGN 15 is engineered with a Gothic arch contact design, which provides high rigidity and precision by maintaining a 45-degree contact angle. This configuration allows the guideway to handle loads equally from all directions (radial, reverse radial, and lateral), making it highly versatile for complex motion systems.
Manufactured from high-quality materials, the MGN 15 ensures durability and reliable performance in demanding environments. Its compact and lightweight nature makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained machinery and equipment. Explore our full range of Linear Guideways to find the perfect solution for your automation, robotics, or manufacturing needs.
Key Features of the MGN 15
- Compact Design: Miniature size and low profile are perfect for small-scale and lightweight equipment.
- High Precision and Rigidity: The Gothic arch groove and two-row ball bearing design provide excellent accuracy and stiffness.
- Equal Load Capacity: Capable of sustaining loads from all four directions, ensuring versatile and stable operation.
- Low Friction Operation: Steel balls roll smoothly along the raceways, resulting in minimal friction and quiet movement.
- Ball Retainer System: A wire retainer prevents the steel balls from falling out when the carriage block is removed from the rail, simplifying assembly and maintenance.
- Durable Materials: Typically constructed from stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and a longer service life.
