THK SHS Caged Ball LM Guide
THK SHS is a global standard size caged ball LM Guide for smooth and accurate linear motion. It uses four rows of balls and a ball cage to reduce friction between the balls. The 45° contact angle gives equal load capacity in four directions.
The SHS has a self-adjusting capability that helps absorb mounting errors. This allows smooth motion even when the mounting surfaces have small errors. A well-balanced preload can also increase rigidity while keeping friction low.
THK SHS is available in sizes 15 to 65. Choose from C, V, R, LC, LV and LR block types to suit different mounting and space requirements. Stainless steel versions are also available for sizes 15 to 25.
