Joints
For strokes of greater length, the guide components
can be joined after grinding the end faces (suffix R or
RR). To maintain the hole centre distance tolerance,
when ordering always specify the number of individual
rails making one continuous length.
Please specify in the order when rails have to
be matched. The junctions are marked (letters and
numbers) to avoid a mix-up of different rails.
Fixing holes
The guides are available with standard holes, as
shown in dimensional tables, with special hole
layout or without holes (see order code referencing)
Standard tolerance for hole position is 0,25 mm.

General
Steel rails are made of bearing steel to give best stability
and durability. Raceways are induction hardened to
achieve 58 HRC hardness minimum. The rail core
remains soft to allow easy machining.
Rails can be provided with different finishes to meet
specific application requirements.
Guide rails MT type. Profile is produced by cold
drawing process, raceways are induction hardened
and sandblasted to improve surface strength and
finish.
Guide rails M type. Profile is usually produced by cold
drawing process, induction hardened on raceways and
ground to improve surface finish and profile geometry
and to remove the partially decarburised surface (0.1
mm max on cold drawn rails ..MT). Ground rails have to
be used when there are high loads, heavy-duty cycles
or when there is a high accuracy requirement.
Guide rails MC type (flat rail GP..MC only). MC rails are
induction-hardened on every side and finished by-arough grinding.
Options
Corrosion protection
For use in oxidising environments or in the presence of
corrosive agents, the guides are available with chemical
nickel-plating protective anticorrosion treatment (suffix
NW.).
This treatment features substantial mechanical
characteristics together with a resistance to salty mist
corrosion superior to that of hard chrome. On request
many rails are available in stainless-steel version (suffix
NX)
Circular rail
On request circular rails can be provided. Circular rails
can be used as an alternative to rotating devices or as
junction between straight rails.
Technical features
Standard rail straightness (for non-mounted rails) is
0.5 mm/m max. Higher accuracy can be supplied on
request.
Technical features
Temperature
Standard operating temperature range is 20C up
to 150C. In lower or higher temperature applications
please contact Nadella Technical Service. Special care
is required if guide rollers are operating at maximum
temperature.
Aluminium guides
General
Made by joining an aluminium alloy support element and
hardened steel rods that form the sliding surfaces.
The best features of the two materials and relevant
working technologies are combined to give the lightness
of the alloy and the hardness and surface finish of the
rods.
Guides of this type can be used for structural functions;
they have a high moment of inertia that enables them to
be used in many applications as carrying structures.
Aluminium extruded profiles are stabilised and anodised.
Sliding rods are induction hardened and ground.
Options
Corrosion protection
For use in oxidising environments or in the presence of
corrosive agents, the guides of this series can feature
stainless-steel bars (suffix NX).
Chromium-plated rods
Optional chromium-plated rods are available (suffix CH);
the thickness of the chromium plating is 10 5 m with
hardness 800 HV.
Please check option availability in dimensional tables.
Joints
In case rail made by multiple C-DC or LM rails the most
efficient joint can be realized with the insertion of a
dowel pin inside the rods. This solution allows for simple
assembly at the site and maintains alignment under
load.
Technical features
Standard rails straightness (for non mounted rails) is
0.5 mm/m maximum. Higher accuracy can be supplied
on request.
Temperature
Standard operating temperature range is 20C up to
70C. Applications with frequent temperature variation
should be avoided. For operating conditions outside the
given range please contact Nadella Technical Service.
Guide rollers
General
Nadella provide a wide range of guide rollers to be able
to meet different technical and economic requirements.
All guide rollers are produced in concentric and
eccentric versions to allow backlash adjustment during
assembly on final equipment. Eccentric rollers are
identified by additional R in the code.
The sides of the races of the guide roller are slightly
convex. Besides reducing rolling friction, this also
permits offsetting slight guide flexing or small assembly
alignment errors.
Guide rollers are fitted with seals or shields for bearing
protection and lubricant retention as described in
dimensional tables.
Guide rollers based on needle or tapered roller
bearings (FRN..EI,RK..,PK..) are recommended for
critical applications with heavy axial loads and/or shock
loading. Guide rollers based on ball bearings (FR..EU,
PFV, RCL) are more suitable for lighter loads or high
dynamic systems.
The carriages based on Rolblocs system are
recommended for applications with heavy loads, high
frequency of work and aggressive environment (dust,
abrasive).
Technical features
Accessories
Tables and carriages
Standard table and carriages for C-DC and LM systems
incorporate a black anodised aluminium plate fitted with
guide rollers.
Wipers
Standard wipers NAID for C-DC rails are made from
NBR compound moulded on a steel plate.
Lubricators
Are composed by two main parts: a plastic box with the
same shape profile of the rail, and a lubricated felt; the
felt is slightly pressed on the raceways by a spring. The
plastic box, that drags the raceways, works as a wiper,
ve dust and shavings.

Technical features
Lubrication
Guide roller FRN..EI permits bearing relubrication. All
other guide rollers are long life lubricated.
Temperature
Guide roller should not operate at constant temperature
above 80C. For short durations 100C can be accepted.
For higher temperature please see the option section.
Speed limit
Max velocity has to be determined for each application
relevant to the guide roller type, size and load conditions.
As general value, in normal conditions maximum speed is
4 m/sec but, with the correct chose of the components,
the speed can reach 10 m/s. Contact Nadella Technical
service in case of specific request.
Options
Corrosion protection
For uses in oxidising environments or in the presence
of corrosive agents, the guide rollers are available in
stainless steel (suffix NX) the guide rollers with tapered
rollers (RKU, RKY/X, FKU, FKY/X) and needles (FRN)
are equipped with standard bearings. Check in the
dimensional table component availability.
High temperature
On request guide rollers can be equipped with Viton seals
to operate at temperature up to 120 (suffix V). Check in
the dimensional table component availability.

Technical features
Lubrication
Bearing lubrication
All the guide rollers, except for the FRN..EI, based on
needle bearings, are equipped with long life lubricated
bearings. This means that the grease inside the
bearing is enough for the entire life of the roller guide.
The roller guide type FRN..EI, with needle bearings,
accommodates the re-lubrication of the bearings.
Rail lubrication
Rails must be lubricated. This allows reducing the
friction, to reach the calculated lifetime of the system
and to work at high speed.
No or insufficient lubrication will cause rapid
deterioration. The typical signal of tribocorrosion is the
presence of a red/dark oxide and rapid wearing of the
rail and guide rollers.
The lubrication of the rail, the working environment and
the load must be considered all together for a correct
estimation of the lifetime of the guide system.
Generally speaking, for application with low duty
frequency, a periodic relubrication with a grease
or with a viscous oil will sufficiently maintain the
lubrication film. The re-lubrication interval depends on
the application and must always be tested in the real
working conditions. In a system with ground rails and
short stroke without lubricators, you can consider a relubrication interval every 100,000 cycles. Increasing the
load, speed or stroke, or using an under sized bearing
will increase lubrication demand and result in a shorter
lubrication interval. For a constant lubrication we
suggest the use of felt lubricators to ensure a constant
layer of lubricant between guide rollers and raceways.
Felt lubricators enlarge the lubrication interval more
than ten times.
Assembly instructions
Guide rollers
The eccentric guide rollers allows the preload or
clearance of the carriage to be adjusted independently
of the guide roller mounting hole positioning tolerance or
the distance between the rails.
Recommended mounting hole tolerance is H7.
When adjusting the eccentric guide roller care has to be
taken to avoid excessive preload. Excessive preload can
reduce the life of the linear system.
Set the preload turning the guide roller counterclockwise
Carriages
Carriages are supplied with concentric guide rollers
nut tighten already. Eccentric guide rollers have to be
set and tighten during final assembly operation by
customer.
