Customized Solutions for Special Environment

IKO Linear Ways are available for various special environments by using different materials and greases, as well as surface treatments and dust-protection measures. Typical Application fields and major countermeasures are described below.
 

Clean Environment

When using the Linear Ways in a clean environment, such as a clean room, the environment must remain free of dust generated by these components. Additionally, the environment must have excellent rust-prevention qualities, since rust-preventive oil cannot be applied.

 

Features Available:
-    Liquid Crystal Lubricant
-    Stainless Linear Way and Linear Roller Way
-    Black chrome surface treatment
-    Low-dust-generation grease


 

Vacuum Environment

When the Linear Ways are used in a vacuum environment, it is required that the gas discharged from the Linear Ways does not pollute the environment or reduce the degree of vacuum. Additionally, it must have excellent rust prevention properties, as rust-prevention oil cannot be used.

 

Features Available:
-    Liquid Crystal Lubricant
-    No end seal
-    Stainless steel end plate
-    Fluorine grease

 

Heat Resistance

In environments with above-average temperatures, the heat resistance of synthetic resin parts and metal components becomes a critical consideration when using the Linear Way.

 

Features Available:
-    Stainless steel Linear Ways

-    Stainless steel End plates
-    Special environment seals
-    High-temperature grease

 

Corrosion Resistance

If moisture, corrosive gases, or chemical vapours are present in the operating environment, Linear Ways are susceptible to rust and corrosion, which can lead to increased friction, premature wear, loss of positioning accuracy, and contamination of the environment. In severe cases, corrosion can cause pitting on raceways and rolling elements, resulting in abnormal noise and eventual failure.

 

Features Available:
-    Hybrid C-Lube Linear Way L (With Ceramic balls)
-    Non-magnetic stainless Linear Roller Way Super X
-    Stainless Linear Way and Linear Roller Way
-    Black chrome surface treatment

 

Dust Protection

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

​

Features Available:
-    Linear Way Ultra Seal Specification
-    Flush surface Track rail (Mounting from the bottom) 
-    Double-end seals
-    Scrapers
-    C-Wiper
-    Caps for rail mounting holes
-    Cover plate for track rail
-    Bellows

 

Spatter Protection

Weld spatter and similar debris are extremely hot and tend to stick to components. Foreign materials attached to the track rail cannot be completely eliminated through standard dust protection measures. Therefore, it is essential to implement strategies to prevent adherence and adopt advanced removal techniques for foreign substances.

​

Features Available:
-    Scrapers
-    Caps for rail mounting holes (aluminum alloy)
-    Rail cover sheet
-    Fluorine black chrome surface treatment
-    Stainless steel end plate
