With the reform and development of innovative technologies in the industrial era, MOSIONX linear guideways have gradually evolved from traditional models to intelligent, automated ones. As high-tech machinery of the 21st century, dynamic components are increasingly being applied in CNC manufacturing. 1. Basic Static Rated Load of Linear Guideways The definition of the basic static rated load (C0): When a linear guideway is subjected to heavy loads or significant impact loads—whether under static conditions or during motion—it will directly cause local deformation at the contact surface between the raceway and the steel balls. Once this deformation exceeds a certain threshold, it will compromise the stability of the linear guideway’s movement. The basic static rated load is the maximum load that permits such deformation within acceptable limits. By definition: when the load direction remains constant and the contact area experiences substantial stress, the total deformation of both the steel balls and the raceway surfaces shall be no more than one-thousandth of the diameter of the steel balls. The definition of the allowable static moment (M0): When the steel balls within the slider reach the aforementioned static rated load under high pressure, the moment exerted on the slider is defined as the static rated moment. In the operation of linear guideways, this moment is typically defined along three axes: MR, MP, and MY. 2. Static Safety Factor for MOSIONX Linear Guideways When linear guideways are used under slow-motion or low-dynamic-frequency conditions, the static safety factor should be taken into account.

1. Basic static rated load of linear guide rails
Definition of basic static rated load (C0):
When the linear guide is subjected to a heavy load or significant impact loads—whether static or dynamic—the resulting local deformation between the bead raceway contact surface and the steel balls will directly occur. Once the deformation exceeds a certain threshold, it will compromise the stability of the linear slide’s motion. The basic static rated load is the maximum load that permits such deformation without exceeding the allowable limits. By definition: when the direction of the load remains constant, the static load applied to the contact area under high stress, combined with the total deformation of both the steel balls and the raceway surfaces, amounts to only one-thousandth of the diameter of the steel balls.
Definition of allowable static moment (M0): When the steel ball in the slider, which is subjected to significant pressure, reaches the aforementioned static rated load, the torque exerted on the slider is referred to as the static rated torque. In linear guide motion, this torque is typically defined in three directions: MR, MP, and MY.
2. Static safety factor of MOSIONX linear guide rails
When linear guides are used under slow-motion or low-dynamic-frequency conditions, the static safety factor should be taken into account. Depending on the specific application conditions, different safety factors must be considered when calculating the static load—particularly when the slide rail is subjected to impact loads, in which case a higher safety factor is required.
3. Basic dynamic rated load C of MOSIONX linear guide rails
Definition: The basic dynamic rated load is used to calculate the service life of linear guides under loading and rolling conditions. When the direction of the load remains constant, the linear guide is considered to be subjected to a heavy load when its rated life reaches 50 km (100 km for roller linear guides).
As one of the core components of a machine, linear guides and linear shafts serve both guiding and supporting functions. To ensure high machining accuracy of the machine, its guides and linear components must exhibit high guiding precision and excellent motion stability. During operation, machining parts generate large amounts of corrosive dust and fumes. Consequently, these particulates tend to accumulate over time on the surfaces of the guides and linear shafts, significantly impacting the machine’s machining accuracy and even causing corrosion spots on the guide and linear shaft surfaces, thereby shortening the equipment’s service life. To guarantee the machine’s normal and stable operation as well as the quality of the processed products, it is essential to perform thorough daily maintenance on the guides and linear shafts. Note: Please prepare dry cotton cloths and lubricating oil for cleaning the guides. The guides used in engraving machines are categorized into linear guides and roller guides.
Cleaning the MOSIONX linear guide rail: First, move the laser head all the way to the right and locate the linear guide rail. Wipe it with a dry cotton cloth until it becomes shiny and dust-free, then apply a small amount of lubricant. You can gently push the laser head back and forth several times using sewing oil to ensure even distribution of the lubricant. Cleaning the roller guide rail: Move the crossbeam to the inner side, open the end caps on both sides of the machine, locate the guide rail, and wipe the contact area between the guide rail and the rollers on both sides with a dry cotton cloth. Then, move the crossbeam to clean the remaining parts.
