The THK FBL35F Series represents a specialized linear motion solution engineered for light-load applications where precision, compact design, and operational efficiency are paramount. This slide rail linear type system incorporates a unique ball retainer mechanism within its LM block, which prevents ball-to-ball contact, significantly reducing noise, vibration, and heat generation during movement. The FBL35F features a 35mm rail width and is constructed from high-grade steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear under continuous use. Its compact cross-sectional design minimizes the space required for installation, making it an ideal choice for machinery with stringent size constraints.
Key technical features include four rows of balls arranged in a circular arc groove, providing a high load capacity relative to its size and enabling smooth, stable linear motion even at high speeds. The built-in ball retainer not only curbs noise but also allows for cleaner operation by retaining lubricant more effectively and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Seals are integrated at both ends of the LM block to shield internal components from contaminants like dust and debris, enhancing longevity in harsh environments. Additionally, the series supports pre-load options, which eliminate internal clearance and improve rigidity, resulting in higher positional accuracy and repeatability for precision tasks.
Performance advantages of the FBL35F Series are evident in its ability to deliver consistent, low-friction movement, which translates to reduced energy consumption and extended service life. The smooth operation minimizes stick-slip phenomena, ensuring precise starts and stops critical in automated processes. Its lightweight yet robust construction allows for faster acceleration and deceleration cycles, boosting overall equipment productivity. The design also facilitates easy installation and alignment, reducing downtime during assembly or maintenance.
Typical applications span various industries, including industrial machinery where the FBL35F is employed in pick-and-place robots, automated assembly lines, and precision measuring instruments. In automotive systems, it finds use in components like electronic power steering mechanisms, throttle control assemblies, and sensor positioning devices, where reliability and compactness are essential. For precision equipment, this series is integral to medical devices such as imaging scanners and laboratory automation, as well as in semiconductor manufacturing tools, where minimal vibration and high accuracy are non-negotiable. By combining advanced engineering with practical design, the THK FBL35F Series offers a dependable, efficient solution for light-load linear motion challenges across diverse sectors.
