2. RSR Structure and Features[Ultra Compact] The absence of cage displacement, a problem that cross-roller guides and types of ball slides with nite stroke tend to cause, make these models highly reliable LM systems. [Capable of Receiving Loads in All Directions] These models are capable of receiving loads in all directions, and a single-rail guide can adequately operate under a small moment load. Model RSR-W, in particular, has a greater number of effective balls and a broader LM rail to increase its rigidity against a moment. Thus, it achieves a more compact structure and more durable straight motion than a pair of linear bushes in parallel use. [Stainless Steel Type also Available] A special type where LM block, LM rail and balls are made of stainless steel is also available.A1-279LM GuideWith models RSR and RSR-W, balls roll in two rows of raceways precision-ground on an LM rail and an LM block, and endplates incorporated in the LM block allow the balls to circulate. Since balls circulate in a compact structure, the LM Block is able to provide in nite straight motion and thus in nite stroke. The LM block is designed to have a shape with high rigidity in a limited space, and in combination with large-diameter balls, demonstrates high rigidity in all directions. 3.

Comparison of Model RSR-W with Other Model Numbers [Locations where a Pair of Linear Bushes are Used] Unlike the linear bushes, model RSR-W can be used in a single-rail configuration and allows space saving. Since model RSR-W has more load-bearing balls per row and wider LM block and LM rail, thus to achieve high rigidity against an overhung load. Accuracy can be achieved simply by mounting the LM rail using bolts. Therefore, the assembly time can be shortened.

Eliminates the need for difficult clearance adjustment and achieves long-term, smooth motion over a long period of time. Since the LM block width is large, the model can be used as a miniature table without any modi cation.

RSR Accuracy of the Mounting SurfaceA1-283LM GuideModel RSR uses Gothic arch grooves in the ball raceways. When two rails of RSR are used in parallel, any error in accuracy of the mounting surface may increase rolling resistance and negatively affect the smooth motion of the guide. For speci c accuracy of the mounting surface, see [Flatness of the Mounting Surface] on A1-496. When using this model in locations where it is dif cult to obtain satisfactory accuracy of the mounting surface, we recommend using types RSRA (semi standard) whose ball raceways have circular-arc grooves. (avoid using these types in a single-rail con guration). For speci c accuracy of the mounting surface for types RSRA, [Flatness of the Mounting Surface] is on A1-496. 7.
