SLIDE GUIDE - GL Type
Quieter Operation, Extended Lubrication Intervals By building-in a ball cushion between the balls, contact between individual balls is avoided, making reduced noise possible.

Moreover, NB's Fiber Sheet is made from fibrous material with a porous structure, and possesses the ability, through capillarity, to supply each part with the optimum amount of lubricant in a timely fashion when lubricant is applied, and as a result lubricated intervals are extended significantly, meaning that planned lubrication can be simplified.

SLIDE GUIDE - GL Type
SLIDE GUIDES
Compact Design, Precise Action

SEB Series / SER Series
The NB SEB/SER Miniature Guide are engineered to be compact and light weight to ensure precise linear operation at high speeds. The SEB Slide Guide uses precision-machined steel balls as rolling elements promoting exceptionally low resistance with smooth, stable operation at low cost. Likewise, the SER Slide Guide uses precision-machined cylindrical rollers, ensuring high rigidity and high load capacity with low noise.

High Load Stability, Easy Installation and Maintenance
GL Series/SGL Series / SGW Series
The NB "high load" GL/SGL/SGW Slide Guide is designed to maintain stability under extremely high load conditions. The use of 4 ball circuits and arch ball groove design stabilitizes uneven multidirectional load factors and assures smooth continuous movement throughout the work cycle.

The GL/SGL/SGW bearing block incorporates a ball retainer, permitting the block to be easily removed from the rail. This allows for ease of maintenance and assembly of your machine. The "pre-seals" are designed specially for this Slide Guide, providing superior lubrication retention over long periods of operation.

An optional feature available is the Raydent. This treatment is applied to both block and rail which will provide for a highly dependable and proven anti-corrosion protection package. This feature is found to be idealistic in clean room applications.

BALL SPLINE
Eliminates Backlash, Reduces Friction
The NB Ball Spline is designed for mechanical applications which require both linear motion and torque transmission. The rolling contact of the balls eliminates backlash and reduces friction, helping you to achieve super precision and reliability.

The spline shaft facilitates additional machining and high accuracy because of a round shaft shape. Since the spline shaft is also machined by cylindrical grinding, it has a high sealing performance and a well-balanced structure that reduces the vibration and noise during rotary motion. Moreover, it has great geometrical moment of inertia and high rigidity. This enables a long-term, high precision linear motion.


SSP
SRP ROTARY BALL SPLINE
Number of parts can be cut down to half
This unity feature of conventional spline and rotary function dramatically contribute to eliminate parts used in your systems, and thence, accumulating minor errors that often seen due to installation process can be diminished as well.

Compact and Light weight
Cross-rollers are used for its rotary element in outer body of ball spline, so it is much lighter in weight and more compact in appearance. Cost for installation and additional matching can be greatly saved.

Rigid Structure
With NB's Rotary Ball Spline, feature of cross-roller and ball spline, of which has four ball circuits is maximized and is enhanced its rigidity notwithstanding its compact appearance.

High Accuracy
NB's Rotary Ball Spline accept load from rotating direction utmost, this makes accurate positioning at rotating direction possible.

TOPBALL® PRODUCTS
High Performance, High Load and Self-Aligning
TOPBALL is NB's premier Slide Bush, offering up to 27 times the normal travel life of a conventional slide bush. Our uniquely produced load plates incorporate ground raceway surface which provides a circular arch contact to ball resulting in greater dispersion of loads for up to triple the normal load capacities. TOPBALL Slide Products are fully interchangeable with conventional linear bushing and feature self-alignment capabilities and NB's unique floating wiper seal. Smooth running, low friction operation, combined with longer life and reduced maintenance costs, make TOPBALL Slide Products the popular choice.

SLIDE BUSH
Seamless Ball Retainers Widest Variety
The NB Slide Bush features solid steel outer ring construction and is available with integral seals in both high quality and precision grades. Both grades feature seamless ball retainer for smoother motion and high rigidity. The innovative Double-Wide Bush offers added stability when additional moment loads are required within an application. NB offers the world widest product variety in both inch and metric available worldwide.

Unique Design, Excellent Rigidity
The NB Flange Type Slide Bush offers you the best of both worlds, the benefits of a Slide Bush and of a flange. This unique design is easy to install and replace, since bulky housings aren't required. In addition, NB's solid matting of flange and Slide Bush ensures excellent rigidity over long hours of heavy duty operation. **KBT/SWT two side cut flanged bushings are added on Euro Metric / Inchi series.

SLIDE UNIT
Fits Quick Into Your Design
Ease of assembly and replacement. NB Slide Unit is assembled by a Slide Bush in an aluminum or cast-iron housing and securing the Slide Bush with a snap ring. Slide Unit allows the Slide Bush to perform smooth motion easily with high precision and low frictional resistance. Since these Slide Units are made mainly of aluminum, providing high corrosion resistance.

STROKE BUSH
While the NB stroke bush has a limited rectilinear traveling stroke, it works with minimal wear resistance and enables smooth linear/rotary complex motion. It can therefore be used with a variety of devices.

The NB stroke bush is designed to allow the ball bearings to rotate smoothly. The finely ground outer case contains a retainer which forms a staggered arrangement of the steel balls in machined holes on its inner surface. Each ball in the retainer may rotate smoothly in its individual hole while the outer case moves in a rotary and/or rectilinear reciprocating motion.

SLIDE SHAFT
Optimum Performance Greater Accuracy

The NB Slide Shaft was developed to achieve greater accuracy in roundness, cylindricity, surface finishing, and linear travel. Heat treated in both axial and radial directions, NB Slide Shaft come in both high-carbon chromium bearing steel or Martensite stainless steel for maximum performance quality. In addition, our precision machining capabilities offer you a variety of specially engineered custom shafts, such as spindle and roll shafts, to meet your special requirement.

Accuracy
NB Slide Shafts feature reliable, high precision roundness cylindricity, straightness, and surface finish. Fig. 1 and 2 show examples of measurement results for roundness and surface finish, respectively.

Heat Treatment
NB Slide Shafts are annealed, quenched and tempered by processing techniques and skills developed by . The heat treatment assures the Slide Shafts uniform hardness in both radial and axial directions, developing an appropriate layer. The Martensite stainless steel (SUS 440C) is also subjected to a sophisticated heat treatment to suppress distortion, assuring a uniform hardened layer and sufficient hardness.
