What is a guide shaft support?
The guide shaft support is a key component in the mechanical field. Its main function is to provide stable support, precise positioning and fixation of the guide shaft, and can withstand a certain load pressure.
In the fields of automation equipment, machine tools, conveying systems, etc., the guide shaft support is the core component to ensure the stable operation of the guide shaft.
According to the installation method, structural characteristics and applicable scenarios, the support is mainly divided into three types: flange type, T/L type and compact type.
This article will analyze the structural differences and applicable scenarios of flange type supports in detail, and provide selection suggestions.
Flange type guide shaft support
1.Structural features:
The flange type support is fixed to the mounting surface through the flange plate. Common types include:
Round flange type: round flange design, suitable for scenarios with high symmetry requirements.
Mean flange type: square flange structure, stronger support stability.
Opposite flange type: symmetrical distribution of flanges on both sides, convenient for multi-axis synchronous support.
2.Applicable scenarios:
Vertical fixation: such as machine tool guide system, automated assembly line, can withstand large axial loads.
High-precision positioning: occasions where radial positioning is required (such as X-ray machines, CT scanners).
Heavy-duty environment: Cast flange supports are low-cost and suitable for general industrial scenarios; stainless steel materials are used in environments with high anti-rust requirements.
3.Selection points:
When the axial load is large, the end face fixed type is preferred.
Separate flange supports can be used for frequent disassembly and assembly.
4.Selection suggestions and precautions:
Selection by space layout: vertical installation → flange type.
Selection by load type: large radial load → thickened support; large axial load → end face fixed type.
Selection by maintenance frequency: high-frequency disassembly and assembly → separate type or open type; low-frequency use → stop screw type.
Material and surface treatment: ordinary environment → blackened carbon steel; high-corrosion environment → stainless steel or anodized aluminum.
