Grading
Precision rail guides are generally
mounted in pairs. In order to obtain
the same assembly width A and
height T (fig 8) the rails are graded
and supplied in pairs.
This ensures that any two similar
rail guides in a system will have the
same height. The grading accuracy is
always within the appropriate toler-
ance class for the parallelism.
If two or more rolling element
assemblies are to be mounted imme-
diately behind each other in a rail gui-
de, the rolling elements must have the
same tolerance grade. On request,
graded rolling element assemblies 8
can be supplied.
Rails of the same profile for recir-
culating roller assemblies, which are
to be mounted immediately adjacent
to each other or immediately behind
eych other should be ordered spe-
cially. These will be graded in height
or in height and width depending on
the design and then delivered as a
single package.
Built-up rail guides are always
matched so that it is not necessary
to request this when ordering. 9

Accuracy of adjacent components
An important criterion for the correct
performance of a rail guide system is
the accuracy of the associated com-
ponents. The higher the demands for
accuracy of guidance and for smooth,
easy operation, the greater the atten-
tion which must be paid to the accu-
racy of form and position of the asso-
ciated components. Generally the
same accuracy requirements should
be applied to these components as to
the rail guides themselves. The adjac-
ent table shows the values, for each
tolerance class, of the surface rough-
ness, rectangularity and parallelism of
the adjacent components. 10
To assure an even load distribution
over the roller length, the maximum
difference in height of the supports for
a rail guide should not exceed

(momentary loads of up to 6 N/mm2 are permissible).
End pieces
LWRPM/LWRPV rail guides, by virtue of their design,
do not normally require end pieces.
For this reason, tapped holes on the end faces are also unnecessary.
However, for production reasons,
LWRPV rail guides will in certain cases be supplied with end face tapped holes.
