VX · Ball linear guide, X-arrangement

Construction & principle

VX ball guides carry the same load rating in all four main load directions and run quietly and smoothly. The X-arrangement uses single-arc raceways on four ball rows: the guide averages out errors in the mounting surfaces instead of being forced by them. In tests, the running error of a pair of rails dropped to about one sixth of the mounting-surface error.

Interchangeability is unlimited — carriages and rails of different styles within one accuracy class combine freely. Besides the flanged and narrow carriages, VX offers flanged carriages with plain through-holes (VX50, VX54) that are bolted from below.

The side lubrication port of the carriages feeds both the upper and the lower raceway grooves, even when the guide is mounted at an angle.

X-arrangement (face-to-face) — balls on four raceways; the red lines show the contact directions.

Carriage types

Flanged carriages bolt from above or below and spread the load over a wider base; narrow carriages need less width and bolt from above. Long carriages raise load ratings and moment capacity, high carriages raise the mounting height.

Rails

The same rail profile serves every carriage type of the series — mounted from above with counterbored holes, or from below with threaded holes.

Standard rail — bolted from above

Counterbored holes for socket-head screws; the holes are closed with plastic or brass plugs, or the whole rail top is covered by a stainless-steel strip. Values are the same for every carriage type of the series.

Rail length. Single rails are currently supplied up to 4,000 mm (6,000 mm and longer are being introduced). Longer axes are joined from matched segments with numbered joint marks; the holes next to a joint keep the standard pitch. Stagger the joints of paired rails and keep them at least two hole pitches away from joints in the machine bed.

Seal kitsStandard, ZZ, KK, DD and high-protection SH, ZH, KH, DH with inner seal strips

LubricationGrease nipples M4×0.7, M6×1 and PT1/8 (straight or 45°); oil fittings M6×1 or PT1/8 to M8×1 (straight or 90°) and push-in fittings for Ø4 mm tube. Supplied pre-lubricated — rail oil, lithium grease or a light anti-corrosion oil.

Single rail lengthUp to 4,000 mm; longer rails joined from matched segments

Accuracy classes

Accuracy class	Height H	Width W	ΔH · ΔW on one rail
N — normal	± 100 µm	± 40 µm	30 µm
H — high	± 40 µm	± 20 µm	15 µm
P — precision	± 20 µm	± 10 µm	7 µm
SP — super precision	± 10 µm	± 7 µm	5 µm
UP — ultra precision	± 5 µm	± 5 µm	3 µm

Height H: carriage top to rail base; width W: carriage reference edge to rail reference side; measured at the carriage centre.

Preload classes

Preload class	Recommended for
C0 — very light, 0–2 % C	Smoothest running and lowest friction; ball guides only, accuracy N and H.
C1 — light, 3 % C	Small external loads where overall rigidity still matters.
C2 — medium, 8 % C	Large loads, single-rail systems, high accelerations; takes above-average moments with little elastic deformation.
C3 — heavy, 12 % C	High-rigidity axes such as precision machine tools; minimum elastic deformation under high loads and moments. Accuracy P, SP, UP.

Preload raises rigidity and is included in the service-life calculation; it should not exceed one third of the bearing load. With vibration, choose C2 or C3.
