Profiled Guideways

Excellent dynamic characteristics and high economy are the distinguishing features of the SCHNEEBERGER ball-type linear guideway MONORAIL BM.

The innovative design with few but optimally designed components and the small number of transitions in the ball tracks makes for outstanding running characteristics e.g. smooth running, diminished pulsation, low friction and high travelling speeds.
A high rigidity of the guideway has been achieved through the trapezoidal rail cross-section. This significantly reduces maintenance because parts subject to wear can be replaced without having to dismantle the guideway.

The complete sealing of the carriages guarantees a high reliability and a long service life. This robust guideway is therefore suitable for many and diverse applications and forms an ideal complement to the roller guideway MONORAIL MR.
