The ball retainer type LM rolling guide has the structure that the steel ball is kept through the ball holder to circulate. Therefore, the friction between the steel balls is eliminated, so that the steel balls can be evenly spaced to carry out the movement.
Moreover, the grease accumulated in the space between the steel ball cycle part and the ball holder (the grease storage space) will water the rotation of the steel ball to the contact surface between the ball and the holder of the ball, so that the oil film will travel on the surface of the steel ball. Therefore, the oil film is not easy to break up.
The effect of the ball holder
1. Due to the no friction between the steel balls and the improvement of the oil retention, the long service life and long term operation without maintenance (long term maintenance for lubrication) are realized.
2, there is no collision between the steel balls, so as to achieve low noise and good sound quality.
3, there is no friction between the steel balls, and the calorific value is low, thus achieving excellent high speed.
4, steel balls are evenly spaced to circulate, thus ensuring smooth operation.
5, there is no friction between the steel balls, so that the steel balls will not wear, and the grease will not be easily dispersed, thus reducing the dust generation.
