A piece of automation equipment’s moving parts can be classified as rolling, linear, or a combination of both. Since the development of rolling bearings in the early 20th century, rolling contact has become the standard method for accomplishing rolling motion. This brought about a great technological revolution. Rolling contact not only saved energy but also lowered frictional resistance and thus greatly improved its performance. However, even though a similar development concerning THK linear motion would have been much more valuable, linear motion via rolling contact was a long time off.
THK tackled this issue of linear motion movement with rolling contact by applying its protected mechanical capacities, and in 1972, it turned into the main organization in the world to create and sell the THK Linear Motion (LM) Guide. Our linear motion system enabled large improvements in the accuracy, speed, and labor reducing the potential of advanced mechatronic equipment.
With THK LM Guide, tools and mechanical robots are fit for precise operations, and semiconductor-producing gadgets can work in submicron units.
More recently, the system has been applied in liquid crystal manufacturing lines, railway carriages, assistive vehicles, medical equipment, skyscrapers and residences, and amusement devices. The use of LM Guides has truly expanded beyond all previous boundaries.
