LBG Linear Ball Guides

Hepcos LBG Linear Ball Guides offer a comprehensive range of sizes, precisions and pre-load options designed to meet a broad range of applications where quality, accuracy, capacity, high reliability and interchangeability across international standard are considered prime requirements.

In keeping with Hepco tradition the LBG range offers several unique design features setting it apart from other ball based linear guideways. The newly developed ball recirculating system has excellent performance characteristics resulting in reduced friction, low noise and smooth movement. As with all bearing based recirculating systems it is important to ensure that the blocks are kept well lubricated during operation and regular lubrication intervals are observed.

The LBG range has been designed and constructed around the Four Row Angular Contact ball track concept, thereby offering distinct user benefits such as low friction and reduced differential slip, higher loads, installation compliance and the ability to absorb minor errors on the mounting surfaces without compromising smooth movement and system performance (Figure 1).

The built-in Felt Wiper within the LBG block aids lubrication helping to maintain a positive oil film at the bearing contact surfaces (Figure 2). The Hepco LBG range (Rails & Blocks) can be specified with a corrosion resistant treatment for added surface protection. Please contact Hepcos technical department for details.

LBG Brake Option

The HepcoMotion LBG Brake provides a compact, and simple method of locking an LBG Bearing Block in position. The brake is intended for manual locking of a stationary block, and can be supplied with a range of brake plates to suit most of the LBG bearing block options. When the brake is applied the resulting clamping force does not impose any load upon the bearing block. Although tailored to suit Hepco LBG Linear Ball Guides, the brake is equally compatible with other ball guide systems, and is manufactured with all stainless steel components*1. Dimensions for all sizes are contained on pages 9-11. For information on how to select an LBG brake or details on a specific application please contact Hepcos technical department. For more information on LBG bearing blocks see the LBG linear ball guides catalogue.

Stainless Steel Brake Body 5 sizes available to suit the LBG rail. Ratchet Locking Lever Allows for easy tightening.

Brake fitted to a compact block

Brake fitted to a standard block.

The height between the block and the rail will vary depending on the type of bearing block being used.

Brake Jaws Brake Plate (Optional) Used to secure the brake to the LBG block. Available in a wide range of sizes. The brake assembly has two stainless steel jaws which, when tightened via the ratchet locking lever, apply equal pressure to the LBG rail to ensure even clamping. Holes or slots for access to the LBG bearing block mounting holes.

LBG rail*2

LBG bearing block*2

Note: 1. The ratchet locking lever of the LBG15B and LBG20B brakes contain a steel threaded insert and is not available in stainless steel. 2. Please note LBG block and rail are shown for clarity only, not included as part of the brake assembly.

Technical Data
Load/Life

Basic Static/Dynamic Load Rating Co & C When a linear guide system is subjected to extreme load or impact, permanent deformation can occur between the raceway and rolling elements. Should deformation become excessive the running quality, smoothness and efficiency of the Guideway will be impaired. The definition of basic load rating Co is stated as a static load of constant magnitude acting in one direction under which the sum of the deformation of the elements and race way equals 0.0001 times the diameter of the rolling elements. Basic dynamic load rating C is the load of constant magnitude acting in one direction that results in nominal life of 50km for a Guideway using balls. Basic Static Moment Rating Ms, M, Mv The basic moment ratings in the Ms, M and Mv direction are stated as static moment capacities in the load rating charts (see pages 5-7).

Safety Factor Static : fa The static safety factor fa should be considered related to the basic load rating Co, the acting load and the operating condition. Reference value of the static safety factor fa in given operating conditions is stated as follows:
Factor fa: Operating Condition Static Applied Load Condition Small Impact High Impact Load Dynamic Small Impact High Impact Load Minimum fa 1.0 1.4 2.0 3.0 1.0 2.0 2.5 6.0

fa = (fb x Co) / P or fa = (fb x Mo) / M

Technical Data
Mounting Factor : fb
In the Guideway mounting process, where the elements are in close contact it can be difficult to obtain a uniform distribution of the applied load across all the bearing blocks due to mounting face variations. Where two or more Blocks are used in close proximity or where there is a mounting surface variation multiply the stated basic load ratings C and Co by the mounting factor. Factor fb:

Mounting Factor fb 0.8 0.71 0.65 0.60 1

Frictional Resistance :
The frictional resistance of a Guideway can be determined using the following formula: F = x P + fs F : Frictional resistance (N) : Coefficient of friction P : Load (N) fs : Seal resistance

Technical Data
Raceway Hardness (HRC) : fr
Linear Guides operate at their optimum load carrying capacity with a raceway harness of HRC 58 to 64. Where the raceway hardness is lower than HRC 58 the hardness factor fr should be applied. Hepco LBG Guides have a hardness value in excess of HRC 58, therefore a fr factor of 1.0 can be used.

Guideway Temperature Factor : ft

Where Linear Guides are working in temperatures in excess of 100C, a temperature factor ft should be used. Note: Where the Guideway is subjected to temperatures greater than 80C or less than -5C please contact our Technical Department as consideration will have to be given to the seals, lubrication and end plates.

Nominal Life Formula : L

To calculate the life of a system using any of the LBG bearings, first obtain the Lf by entering the values for L1, L2, Ms, Mv and M in respect of the application, together with the maximum load capacities for the bearing from the relevant page, into the equation below.

Lf=

Ms M Mv + + L1(Max) L2(Max) Ms(Max) M(Max) Mv(Max) + +

L2

From the Lf figure the life of the system can be obtained from the calculation including factors fr, ft, fb and fv.

1 x fr x ft x fb Life (km) =50x Lf x fv
