IKO Miniature Linear Guides Mount Easily in Tight Spaces


As manufacturers move towards more compact and energy-efficient equipment, sourcing dependable miniature motion components can be a challenge. Linear motion is crucial for miniaturized devices, but finding compact, lightweight, and easy-to-install guides isn't always straightforward. However, miniature linear guides must still maintain the same level of quality and durability as their larger counterparts.


At IKO, we specialize in miniature linear guides, such as our LWL1 Series. Known for its ultra-compact rail lengths, this series offers exceptional precision and rigidity. We've expanded our LWL line with the new LWLF2 linear motion guide, which maintains the same ultra-low profile as the LWL1 while adding tapped rail holes for easier mounting. These features make the LWLF2 an ideal solution for downsizing your equipment.


Similar to other miniature guides in the LWL series, the LWLF2 features two rows of balls that make four-point contact with the raceway. This design ensures high stability and precision, even in complex applications with varying load directions. Key features of the LWLF2 include:


  • Easy installation: The tapped rail allows for mounting from the bottom, providing enhanced stability as a track rail.

  • Ultra-compact dimensions: At just 2.5 mm, the LWLF2 offers the lowest sectional height in the industry. Its track rail width is 2 mm, and the slide unit is 5 mm wide.

  • Corrosion resistance: Built from stainless steel, the LWLF2 is perfect for wet environments and applications where rust-prevention oils can't be used, such as in cleanrooms.

  • Lightweight: Weighing just 2 grams per 100 mm of rail length, with a slide unit weight of 0.21 grams, the LWLF2 is a lightweight solution.
