Linear Motion Rolling Guides Linear Way L Series
Linear Motion Rolling Guides Linear Way L Series
The IKO Linear Way L has two rows of balls that contact the raceway at four points. Despite its very small body, it provides stable accuracy and rigidity even in applications where load has variable direction and size, or complex load is applied. The stainless steel specification, which is the base model, is available in a range of shapes and sizes that can be selected according to the application.
C-Lube Linear Way ML
C-Lube Linear Way ML is a small L-Series linear motion rolling guide with built-in C-Lube lubrication that provides long-term, maintenance-free operation.
Maintenance-Free
Our C-Lube technology maintains the lubrication performance for an extended period of time, reducing lubrication schedules and the time it takes to manage them.
Linear Way L
Interchangeable
Interchange specifications are available. Since the slide unit and track rail dimensions are separate, each can be individually added or exchanged.
Standard Type and Wide Rail Type
The slide unit is available in a standard type and wide type, the latter suitable for use with a single track rail.
Length of Slide Unit
Three stainless steel ball retaining types with the same cross-sectional dimensions but different slide unit lengths are available: short type, standard type and high-rigidity long type. They can be selected according to the application.
Stainless Steel and High Carbon Steel Types
Stainless steel types, with excellent corrosion resistance, are also available. They are ideal for use in cleanroom machines and equipment, such as medical equipment, various disc readers and semiconductor manufacturing devices. The high carbon steel type, with a track rail that can be modified, is used for general-purpose applications such as conveying and equipment handling.
Ball Retention
The slide unit incorporates a ball retaining band which prevents the ball from dropping down when the slide unit is removed from the track rail, making it easy to handle.
Tapped Rail
The track rail is available in the standard specification where the bolts pass through the through hole downward, and the tapped rail specification where the track rail is threaded. Since the mounting direction can be selected, it offers a wider range of options in machine design.

Special Specification
Under seal
The seal is attached to the bottom of the slide unit to prevent foreign substances from entering from underneath.
With C-Lube plate
The C-Lube impregnated with lubricant is attached inside the end seal of the slide unit, so that the interval for reapplicating lubricant can be extended.
Special environment seal
The standard end seal and under seal are replaced with seals for special environment that can be used at high temperatures.
