Dust Protection

If dust, such as metal or wood chips, contaminates the Linear Ways, it can shorten their lifespan and diminish accuracy. Consequently, implementing measures to prevent the entry of foreign substances is essential.

C-Wiper

A lubricated C-Wiper can be installed on the outside of the end seal. It can be used for a long period of time because it enhances the dustproof effect and suppresses the increase in frictional resistance even in harsh environments where dust, chips, cutting fluid, etc., are present. The end seal, inner seal (/UR), and scraper (/Z) may be equipped as standard when you specify the special specification /RC with C-Wiper. If you need only inner seals, specify /UR.

Rail cover sheet that consists of steel plate and adhesive tape and fastened to the dedicated track rail with groove on the track rail prevents foreign substances from entering into the slide unit.

Caps for rail mounting holes close the track rail mounting holes to prevent foreign substances from entering into the slide unit. Contact IKO for aluminum alloy caps for rail mounting holes.

Rail cover plate totally covers the upper surface of the track rail to prevent foreign substances from entering into the track rail.

This is the specification that track rail is fixed from the mounting surface side. As there are no mounting holes on the track rail upper surface, adherence with the seal is superior and better dust protection effect is achieved.

Double end seals improve the dust protection property further.

Scrapers: Mounted to the outside of end seal, it may remove large foreign substances adhering to the track rail.
