Abstract
The subject matter of the invention is an adjustable straight-line guide for, more particularly, machine tools, whose guide shoe, in order to obtain improved frictional properties while reducing the "stick-slip" effect with high vibration-damping characteristics, has roller circulation combined with a sliding surface and for automatic alignment in respect to the sliding surface of the guide path, and also for initial stressing which is simple to effect, is held by adjusting elements, acting multi-axially, at the guided machine part.
Claims6
An adjustable circulating roller body straight-line guide, especially adapted for use in machine tools, wherein said adjustable circulating roller body straight-line guide has a roller circulation shoe which comprises a roller circulation track and a plurality of roller bodies, said roller circulation track including a cut-out portion, a track portion, and at least one sliding surface, said roller circulation shoe being held in place in a machine part by an initial stress and adjusting means which is adjustable about three orthoganal axes,
- whereby said roller bodies and said sliding surface are arranged in the same plane so that said roller bodies project beyond said sliding surface by a predetermined, selectable amount.
