Technical Calculations
■Linear guide life calculations
- ●Life
- When linear guides operate in linear motion while supporting loads, repeated stresses apply on the rolling elements (balls) and raceways (rails), eventually causing scale-like flaking due to material fatigue. The total run distance until this flaking appears is defined as linear guide's "Life".
- ●Rated Life
- Rated life is a total distance 90% of linear guides reach without flaking when a group of the same guides are run under the same condition. The rated life can be calculated with basic dynamic load rating and the load applied on the guides as follows.
-
- When using linear guides, load calculations are initially needed. It is not easy to calculate the loads during linear motion due to vibrations and shocks, as well as load distribution on the guides. Furthermore, operating environment temperature has large effect on life. When these conditions are taken in consideration, the calculations would be as follows.
-
- L: Rated Life (Km)
- fH: Hardness Factor (See Fig.1)
- fT: Temperature Factor (See Fig.2)
- fC: Contact Factor (See Table-1)
- fW: Load Factor (See Table-2)
- C: Basic Dynamic Load Rating (N)
- P: Applied Load (N)
- ●Hardness factor (fH)
-
In using linear guides, the shaft that balls contact must have sufficient hardness, If adequate hardness cannot be obtained, load rating decreases and life will be reduced as a result.
Please correct the rated life with the hardness factor.
- ●Temperature Factor (fT)
-
When the temperature of linear guides exceed 100°C, hardness of blocks and rails will be reduced, causing reduction of life. Please compensate the life rating with temperature factor.
* Please use linear guides within temperature shown on product pages.
- ●Contact Factor (fC)
-
Table-1. Contact Factor
Number of Blocks per Rail Contact Factor fC
1 1.00 2 0.81 3 0.72 4 0.66 5 0.61 In general, it is common to use 2 or more blocks on 1 rail. In such case, load applicable on each block would not be uniform due to machining variations. As the result, allowable load rating on each block would vary depending on the number of blocks used per rail. Please compensate the life rating with contact factor shown on Table-1.
- ●Load Factor (fW)
-
Table-2. Load factor
Application condition fw No external shocks or vibrations and
speed is low 15m/min or less1.0 - 1.5 No significant shocks or vibration and
med. speed 60m/min or less1.5 - 20 External shocks and vibrations exist
and the speed is high 60m/min or over2.0 - 3.5 When calculating loads applicable on linear guides, other than the weight of the object, inertial force due to motion speeds, moment loads, and variations of each over time must also be obtained accurately. However, accurate calculation would be difficult due to repeated starts and stops and various shocks and vibrations. Therefore, the Load Factors shown in Table-2 are used to simplify the life calculations.
- ●Applied Load P Calculation Method
- When moment loads apply a block, use the following formula to convert the moment load to applicable load.
-
- P: Applied Load (N)
- F: Downward load (N)
- Co: Static load rating (N)
- MA: Allowable Static Moment - Pitching Direction (N･m)
- MC: Allowable Static Moment - Rolling Direction (N･m)
- Lp: Load Point Distance (m) in Pitching Direction
- Lr: Load Point Distance (m) in Rolling Direction

Application Overview
Purpose
- Purpose
- To fit bushing onto roughly-positioned pin.
- Operation
- This mechanism is designed to perform floating in the X and Y directions via two linear guides installed between the lift unit and the bushing chuck. Before inserting the bushing into the pin, the bushing chuck is at the center position. The lift unit lowers the bushing and bushing chuck. The bushing is floated toward the pin and then fit on the pin. After fitting the bushing, the bushing chuck is returned to the center by the spring plunger.
Target workpiece
- (1) Bushing
- Shape: cylinder
- Size: Ø20 x H20mm
- Weight: 7g
- (2) Pin
- Shape: column
- Size: Ø7 x H15mm
- Weight: 110g
Design Specifications
Operating Conditions or Design Requirements
- Vertical stroke by lift unit: 38mm
- Allowable maximum displacement between inserting workpiece and inserted workpiece: L = 1.5mm
- Outer dimensions: W88 x D100 x H96mm
Required Performance
- Positioning accuracy: ±0.1mm
Selection Criteria for Main Components
- Spring Plungers
- To enable the bushing chuck to be returned to the center position when the inserting workpiece is unclamped, select spring plungers whose minimum load is larger than the seal resistance of the linear guide, which is between 2N and 5N.
Design Evaluation
Verification of main components
- Comparative verification of centering force and spring plunger clamp power is conducted to see whether centering of workpiece is possible.
- Check of the centering force of inserting workpiece and the spring plunger clamp power
- Conditional value: centering pin taper angle of inserted workpiece θ = 23°, downward clamp force of lift unit P = 30N, gravitational acceleration g = 9.8m/s², friction coefficient: µ = 0.2 (metal and metal)
- Friction angle: ψ, from µ = tanψ, ψ = tan - 1µ = tan - 1 (0.2) = 11.3°
- The inserting workpiece centering force F is, from P = F x tan (θ + ψ), F = P / (tan (θ + ψ)) = 30 / (tan (23 + 11.3)) = 44.0N
- Spring plunger clamp power PS = 5.8 to 13.6N = inserting workpiece centering force F = 44.0N
⇒ As the inserting workpiece centering force is sufficiently larger than the spring plunger clamp power, centering cannot be prevented. The chuck position can be returned to the center before workpiece insertion.
Other Design Consideration
- As the pressing face of the plunger is subjected to the load of lateral movement, smoothly finish it.
