Type M/V Linear Guideway Product Overview

Type M/V

The Type M/V linear guideway is similar to Type N/O, but differs in its external dimensions. Equipped with needle cages, it is particularly suitable for applications involving higher loads. SCHNEEBERGER M/V bearings have a lower moving resistance due to our composite cage.

Benchmark Data

Track and surface quality Finely ground supporting and/or locating surfaces and tracks (90° V-profile)
Materials (standard)
