A new solution for oil-free, smooth and quiet linear motion, the Low Profile Uni-Guide (UGA) maintains the proven advantages of the standard two-piece Uni-Guide in a simple, compact assembly. With a height of just 24 mm it is the optimal solution for contaminated environments and clean rooms in compact spaces. The proprietary FrelonGOLD® liner imbedded in the carriage, ensures oil-free operation throughout the lifespan of the linear slide system due to its self-lubricating properties. Linear rail and carriage excel in demanding extremes including a wide range of temperatures, heavy particulates, wash-down environments, short stroke lengths and extreme vibrations. The Low-Profile Uni-Guide Linear Slide Rail comes in a variety of off-the-shelf and custom lengths up to 2,750 mm.

Running Clearance
Precision Series: Ceramic-coated rails and carriages offer superior corrosion resistance. The FrelonGOLD self-lubricating liner ensures optimal performance, supporting the highest loads, best wear life, and fastest speeds. Designed with the most precise running clearance for high-precision applications.
Compensated Series: Similar to the Precision Series but with additional clearance to accommodate misalignment.
Use the product configurator to determine the ideal running clearance for your linear motion application.
Cantilevered Loads
The carriage will bind if the 2:1 ratio for cantilevered loads and drive forces is exceeded. This principle does not depend on load or force. The 2:1 Bearing Ratio defines the maximum allowable ratio of moment arm distance to bearing length that prevents binding or motion hindrance. It is often represented numerically as "2:1," where "2x" is the moment arm distance and "1x" is the bearing length. For example, if 2x equals 10 inches, then 1x must equal 5 inches.
