Brass ball cage

Norm: 55350 Ø18

Brass ball cage for high-precision plug & play solutions with maximum durability. As an assembly with guide bushing and ejector guide pillar, a backlash-free, preloaded and smooth-running guide system is created that reliably prevents the ejector assembly from tilting.

Advantages

    • Jerk-free movement, no tilting of the ejector assembly even with very asymmetrical force transmission 
    • Backlash-free preload enables precise movement sequences
    • Low wear, therefore long service life and low susceptibility to faults
    • High process reliability prevents blockages, rejects and production stops
    • Only minimum quantity lubrication required

Application

In practice, simple sliding guides are often used for the applications described. However, these are often subject to considerable wear, which can lead to cold welding and jamming of the mechanism. This results in unplanned production downtime and high maintenance costs. The Agathon roller guide, on the other hand, has excellent emergency running properties.

Functionality

The guideways are subjected to high loads on one side, particularly under moment loads, which can lead to the permissible surface pressure (pzul) being exceeded locally. This results in abrasion and the risk of cold welding, which can lead to blockages. In contrast to sliding guides, a roller guide can also roll under high moment loads, so that no such failures need to be feared.
