106 G99TE13-0809 Linear Guideways QE Series 2-9 QE Type Quiet Linear Guideway, with SynchMotion TM Technology The development of HIIN-QE linear guideway is based on a four-row circular-arc contact. The HIIN-QE series linear guideway with SynchMotion TM Technology possesses all the advantages of the HIIN-EG series, and also offers smooth movement, superior lubrication, quieter operation and longer running life. Therefore the HIIN-QE linear guideway has broad industrial applicability. In the high-tech industry where high speed, low noise, and reduced dust generation is required, the HIIN-QE series is interchangeable with the HIIN-EG series. Please refer to 2-9-3 for detailed specifications. 2-9-1 Construction Block Rail End cap End seal Ball The SynchMotion Bottom seal Retainer 2-9-2 Model Number of QE Series HIIN-QE series guideway can be classified into non-interchangeable and interchangeable types. The sizes are identical. The main difference is that the interchangeable blocks and rails can be freely exchanged. Because of dimensional control, the interchangeable type linear guideway is a perfect choice for the client when rails do not need to be paired for an axis. And since the QE and EG share the identical rails, the customer does not need to redesign when choosing the QE series. Therefore the HIIN-QE linear guideway has increased applicability.

G99TE13-0809 1 Preface A linear guideway allows a type of linear motion that utilizes rolling elements such as balls or rollers. By using recirculating rolling elements between the rail and the block, a linear guideway can achieve high precision linear motion. Compared to a traditional slide, the coefficient of friction for a linear guideway is only 1/50th. Because of the restraint effect between the rails and the blocks, linear guideways can take up loads in both the up/down and the left/right directions. ith these features, linear guideways can greatly enhance moving accuracy, especially, when accompanied with precision ball screws. 1. General Information 1-1 Advantages and Features of Linear Guideways (1) High positional accuracy hen a load is driven by a linear motion guideway, the frictional contact between the load and the bed is rolling contact. The coefficient of friction is only 1/50th of traditional contact, and the difference between the dynamic and the static coefficient of friction is small. Therefore, there would be no slippage while the load is moving. (2) Long life with high motion accuracy ith a traditional slide, errors in accuracy are caused by the counter flow of the oil film. Insufficient lubrication causes wear between the contact surfaces, which become increasingly inaccurate. In contrast, rolling contact has little wear; therefore, machines can achieve a long life with highly accurate motion. (3) High speed motion is possible with a low driving force Because linear guideways have little friction resistance, only a small driving force is needed to move a load. This results in greater power savings, especially in the moving parts of a system. This is especially true for the reciprocating parts. (4) Equal loading capacity in all directions ith this special design, these linear guideways can take loads in either the vertical or horizontal directions. Conventional linear slides can only take small loads in the direction parallel to the contact surface. They are also more likely to become inaccurate when they are subjected to these loads. (5) Easy installation Installing a linear guideway is fairly easy. Grinding or milling the machine surface, following a recommended installation procedure, and tightening the bolts to their specified torque can achieve highly accurate linear motion. (6) Easy lubrication ith a traditional sliding system, insufficient lubrication causes wear on the contact surfaces. Also, it can be quite difficult to supply sufficient lubrication to the contact surfaces because finding an appropriate lubrication point is not very easy. ith a linear motion guideway, grease can be easily supplied through the grease nipple on the linear guideway block. It is also possible to utilize a centralized oil lubrication system by piping the lubrication oil to the piping joint. (7) Interchangeability Compared with traditional boxways or v-groove slides, linear guideways can be easily replaced should any damage occur. For high precision grades consider ordering a matched, non-interchangeable, assembly of a block and rail.

Selection of accuracy Classes : C, H, P, SP, UP depends on the accuracy of equipment Determines the size & the number of blocks Dynamic load condition If accompanied with a ballscrew, the size should be similar to the diameter of ballscrew. For example, if the diameter of the ballscrew is 35mm, then the model size of linear guideway should be HG35 Calculate the max. load of block Make reference to load calculation examples, and calculate the max load. Be sure that the static safety factor of selected guideway is larger than the rated static safety factor Choosing preload Depends on the stiffness requirement and accuracy of mounting surface Identify stiffness Calculate the deformation (δ) by using the table of stiffness values, choosing heavier preload and larger size linear guideways to enhance the stiffness Calculating service life Calculate the life time requirement by using the moving speed and frequency. Make reference to the life calculation example Selection of lubrication Grease supplied by grease nipple Oil supplied by piping joint Completion of selection

G99TE13-0809 3 1-3 Basic Load Ratings of Linear Guideways 1-3-1 Basic Static Load (1) Static load rating (C0) Localized permanent deformation will be caused between the raceway surface and the rolling elements when a linear guideway is subjected to an excessively large load or an impact load while either at rest or in motion. If the amount of this permanent deformation exceeds a certain limit, it becomes an obstacle to the smooth operation of the linear guideway. Generally, the definition of the basic static load rating is a static load of constant magnitude and direction resulting in a total permanent deformation of 0.0001 times the diameter of the rolling element and the raceway at the contact point subjected to the largest stress. The value is described in the dimension tables for each linear guideway. A designer can select a suitable linear guideway by referring to these tables. The maximum static load applied to a linear guideway must not exceed the basic static load rating. (2) Static permissible moment (M0) The static permissible moment refers to a moment in a given direction and magnitude when the largest stress of the rolling elements in an applied system equals the stress induced by the Static Load Rating. The static permissible moment in linear motion systems is defined for three directions: MR, MP and MY. M R M P M Y (3) Static safety factor This condition applys when the guideway system is static or under low speed motion. The static safety factor, which depends on environmental and operating conditions, must be taken into consideration. A larger safety factor is especially important for guideways subject to impact loads (See Table 1.1). The static load can be obtained by using Eq. 1. Table 1.1 Static Safety Factor Load Condition f SL, f SM (Min.) Normal Load 1.0~3.0 ith impacts/vibrations 3.0~5.0 C f SL = 0 M or fsm = 0 P M Eq.1.1 fsl : Static safety factor for simple load fsm : Static safety factor for moment C0 : Static load rating (kn) M0 : Static permissible moment (kn mm) P : Calculated working load (kn) M : Calculated appling moment (kn mm) 1-3-2 Basic Dynamic Load (1) Dynamic load rating (C) The basic dynamic load rating is an important factor used for calculation of service life of linear guideway. It is defined as the maximum load when the load that does not change in direction or magnitude and results in a nominal life of 50km of operation for a linear guideway (100km for roller type). The values for the basic dynamic load rating of each guideway are shown in dimension tables. They can be used to predict the service life for a selected linear guideway.

4 G99TE13-0809 Linear Guideways General Information 1-4 Service Life of Linear Guideways 1-4-1 Service Life hen the raceway and the rolling elements of a linear guideway are continuously subjected to repeated stresses, the raceway surface shows fatigue. Flaking will eventually occur. This is called fatigue flaking. The life of a linear guideway is defined as the total distance traveled until fatigue flaking appears on the surface of the raceway or rolling elements. 1-4-2 Nominal Life (L) The service life varies greatly even when the linear motion guideways are manufactured in the same way or operated under the same motion conditions. For this reason, nominal life is used as the criteria for predicting the service life of a linear motion guideway. The nominal life is the total distance that 90% of a group of identical linear motion guideways, operated under identical conditions, can travel without flaking. hen the basic dynamic rated load is applied to a linear motion guideway, the nominal life is 50km. 1-4-3 Calculation of Nominal Life The acting load will affect the nominal life of a linear guideway. Based on the selected basic dynamic rated load and the actual load, the nominal life can be calculated by using Eq. 1.2. 3 3 C C L= 50km= ( 31mile P ) ( ) Eq.1.2 P L : Nominal life C : Basic dynamic load rating P : Actual load If the environmental factors are taken into consideration, the nominal life is influenced greatly by the motion conditions, the hardness of the raceway, and the temperature of the linear guideway. The relationship between these factors is expressed in Eq. 1.3. 3 3 f h f t C f L= h f t C 50km= ( f w P c ) ( 31mile f w P c ) Eq.1.3 L : Nominal life fh : Hardness factor C : Basic dynamic load rating ft : Temperature factor PC : Calculated load f : Load factor 1-4-4 Factors of Normal Life (1) Hardness factor ( f h ) In general, the raceway surface in contact with the rolling elements must have the hardness of HRC 58~62 to an appropriate depth. hen the specified hardness is not obtained, the permissible load is reduced and the nominal life is decreased. In this situation, the basic dynamic load rating and the basic static load rating must be multiplied by the hardness factor for calculation. Raceway hardness

G99TE13-0809 5 (2) Temperature factor ( f t ) Due to the termperature will affect the material of linear guide, therefore the permissible load will be reduced and the nominal service life will be decreased when over 100 o C. Therefore, the basic dynamic and static load rating must be multiplied by the temperature factor. As some accessories are plastic which can t resist high temperature, the working enviornment is recommended to be lower than 100 o C. Temperature (3) Load factor ( fw ) The loads acting on a linear guideway include the weight of slide, the inertia load at the times of start and stop, and the moment loads caused by overhanging. These load factors are especially difficult to estimate because of mechanical vibrations and impacts. Therefore, the load on a linear guideway should be divided by the empircal factor. Table 1.2 Load factor HG/EG/RG/QH/QE Series Loading Condition Service Speed f w No impacts & vibration V 15 m/min 1 ~ 1.2 Small impacts 15 m/min <V 60 m/min 1.2 ~ 1.5 Normal load 60m/min< V 120 m/min 1.5 ~ 2.0 ith impacts & vibration V >120 m/min 2.0 ~ 3.5 MG Series Loading Condition Service Speed f w No impacts & vibration V 15 m/min 1 ~ 1.5 Normal load 15m/min <V 60 m/min 1.5 ~ 2.0 ith impacts & vibration V >60 m/min 2.0 ~ 3.5 1-4-5 Calculation of Service Life (Lh) Transform the nominal life into the service life time by using speed and frequency.

To obtain the correct load value, each load condition should be carefully considered.

The service life is calculated from the ratio of the working load and the basic dynamic load rating.

The coefficient of friction for a linear guideway can be as little as 1/50th of a traditional slide. Generally, the coefficient of friction of linear guideway is about 0.004. hen a load is 10% or less than the basic static load rate, the most of the resistance comes from the grease viscosity and frictional resistance between balls. In contrast, if the load is more than the basic static load rating, the resistance will mainly come from the load. F = µ +S Eq.1.8 F: Friction (kn) S: Friction resistance (kn) µ: Coefficient of friction : Normal loads (kn)

10 G99TE13-0809 Linear Guideways General Information 1-7 Lubrication 1-7-1 Grease Each linear guideway is lubricated with lithium soap based grease before shipment. After the linear guideway is installed, we recommend that the guideway be re-lubricated every 100 km. It is possible to carry out the lubrication through the grease nipple. Generally, grease is applied for speeds that do not exceed 60 m/min faster speeds will require high-viscosity oil as a lubricant. T= 100 1000 hr V e 60 Eq.1.9 T : Feeding frequency of oil (hour) Ve : speed (m/min) 1-7-2 Oil The recommended viscosity of oil is about 32~150cSt. The standard grease nipple may be replaced by an oil piping joint for oil lubrication. Since oil evaporates quicker than grease, the recommended oil feed rate is approximate 0.3cm 3 /hr. 1-8 Jointed Rail Jointed rail should be installed by following the arrow sign and ordinal number which is marked on the surface of each rail. For matched pair, jointed rails, the jointed positions should be staggered. This will avoid accuracy problems due to discrepancies between the 2 rails (see figure). Reference side Reference side Stagger the joint position when installing matched jointed rail.

G99TE13-0809 11 1-9 Mounting Configurations Linear guideways have equal load ratings in the radial, reverse radial and lateral directions. The application depends on the machine requirements and load directions. Typical layouts for linear guideways are shown below: use of one rail and mounting reference side use of two rails(block movement) use of two rails(block fixed) use of two external rails use of two internal rails total surface fixed installation HG type block with mounting holes in different directions.

12 G99TE13-0809 Linear Guideways General Information 1-10 Mounting Procedures Three installation methods are recommended based on the required running accuracy and the degree of impacts and vibrations. 1-10-1 Master and Subsidiary Guide For non-interchangeable type Linear Guideways, there are some differences between the master guide and subsidiary guide. The accuracy of the master guide s datum plane is better than the subsidiary s and it can be a reference side for installation. There is a mark MA printed on the rail, as shown in the figure below. Subsidiary HGH35C 10249-1 001 MA Master Spec.

G99TE13-0809 13 (1) Mounting methods It is possible that the rails and the blocks will be displaced when the machine is subjected to vibrations and impacts. To eliminate these difficulties and achieve high running accuracy, the following four methods are recommended for fixing. Mounting with a push plate Mounting with push screws Mounting with taper gib Mounting with needle roller (2) Procedure of rail installation 1 Before starting, remove all dirt from the mounting surface of the machine. Oil stone 2 Place the linear guideway gently on the bed. Bring the guideway into close contact with the datum plane of the bed. 3 Check for correct thread engagement when inserting a bolt into the mounting hole while the rail is being placed on the mounting surface of the bed. 4 Tighten the push screws sequentially to ensure close contact between the rail and the side datum plane. 5 Tighten the mounting bolts with a torque wrench to the specified torque. 6 Install the remaining linear guideway in the same way.

14 G99TE13-0809 Linear Guideways General Information (3) Procedure of block installation Place the table gently on the blocks. Next, tighten the block mounting bolts temporarily. Push the blocks against the datum plane of the table and position the table by tightening the push screws. The table can be fixed uniformly by tightening the mounting bolts on master guide side and subsidiary side in 1 to 4 sequences. 1-10-3 Installation of the Master Guide without Push Screws To ensure parallelism between the subsidiary guide and the master guide without push screws, the following rail installation methods are recommended. The block installation is the same as mentioned previously. Table Block push screw Subsidiary guide Bed Master guide (1) Installation of the rail on the subsidiary guide side Using a vice Place the rail into the mounting plane of the bed. Tighten the mounting bolts temporarily; then use a vice to push the rail against the side datum plane of the bed. Tighten the mounting bolts in sequence to the specified torque.

G99TE13-0809 15 (2) Installation of the rail on the subsidiary guide side Method with use of a straight edge Set a straight edge between the rails parallel to the side datum plane of the rail on the master guide side by using a dial gauge. Use the dial gauge to obtain the straight alignment of the rail on the subsidiary guide side. hen the rail on the subsidiary guide side is parallel to the master side, tighten the mounting bolts in sequence from one end of the rail to the other. Subsidiary guide Master guide Method with use of a table Fix two blocks on the master guide side to the table. Temporarily fix the rail and one block on the subsidiary guide side to the bed and the table. Fix a dial gauge stand on the table surface and bring it into contact with the side of the block on the subsidiary guide side. Move the table from one end of the rail to the other. hile aligning the rail on the subsidiary side parallel to the rail on the master guide side, tighten the bolts in sequence. Method following the master guide side hen a rail on the master guide side is correctly tightened, fix both blocks on the master guide side and one of the two blocks on the subsidiary guide side completely to the table. hen moving the table from one end of the rail, tighten the mounting bolts on the subsidiary guide side completely. (a) (b) (a) (b) Method with use of a jig Use a special jig to ensure the rail position on the subsidiary guide side. Tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque in sequence.

16 G99TE13-0809 Linear Guideways General Information 1-10-4 hen There Is No Side Surface of The Bed On The Master Guide Side To ensure parallelism between the subsidiary guide and the master guide when there is no side surface, the following rail installation method is recommended. The installation of the blocks is the same as mentioned previously. Table Block push screw Subsidiary guide Bed Master guide (1) Installation of the rail on the master guide side Using a provisional datum plane Two blocks are fixed in close contact by the measuring plate. A datum plane provided on the bed is used for straight alignment of the rail from one end to the other. Move the blocks and tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque in sequence. Method with use of a straight edge Use a dial gauge and a straight edge to confirm the straightness of the side datum plane of the rail from one end to the other. Make sure the mounting bolts are tightened securely in sequence. (2) Installation of the rail on the subsidiary guide side The method of installation for the rail on the subsidiary guide side is the same as the case without push screws.
