The Dovetail carriage guides are inexpensive and simultaneously highly resilient. These models have a very high load capacity of up to 1500 N due to the large contact surfaces. The materials used are grey cast iron or aluminium, with the aluminium versions representing an excellent compromise between weight, load capacity and precision. The dovetail carriage guides are available in widths of 20 to 150 mm and lengths of 30 to 310 mm. The individual clearance between the inner and outer part is adjusted using a tapered bar. All outer surfaces are ground and the guides are precision milled. Models equipped with a threaded spindle have a knob with 0.02 mm scale divisions for travel adjustment. |
