High-quality NH/NS linear guides offer far greater service life due to the inclusion of innovative features like specially developed ball groove geometry. In addition, up to 30% more dynamic load rating helps to provide users with double the fatigue life of previous generation products in a compact and lightweight format.

Importantly, the NH series is available with a selection of innovative coatings to provide protection from harsh operating conditions. At the automotive plant, NSK recommended hard chrome plating to provide both corrosion resistance and increased durability. The NH linear guides, supplied in lengths of 360 mm to suit the automatic parts washers, also feature a double seal, metal protector and NSK’s K1 lubrication unit for long-term maintenance-free operation. The K1 is ideal for applications where regular grease replenishment is difficult or where it can easily wash away.

Following a successful trial period with no failures whatsoever, the use of NH series linear guides on the component washing machines is providing considerable year-on-year savings.
