Carriage Order Example

MR W 35-A-V2-S11-LV-CN

  • MR W 35 = MONORAIL MR Carriage Size 35
  • A = Standard carriage type
  • V2 = Medium preload
  • S11 = Lubrication port at top center
  • LV = Full greasing
  • CN = No coating (not chrome-plated; hard chromium is CH)

Carriage Type Reference

Type Image Type Name Features Available Sizes
A A Standard Standard length, high load and moment capacity 25-100
B B Standard long Extended design, higher moment load capacity 25-100
C C High/flat Lower height while maintaining high load capacity 25-65
D D High/flat long Extended high/flat design 25-65
E E High/flat, side fixing Side mounting hole design 25, 35
F F Flat Lowest height design 25-55
G G Flat long Extended flat design 25-55
P P Standard extra long Extra long design, highest moment capacity 65

Accuracy Grade Details

Grade Name Height Tolerance A/B2 ΔA/ΔB2 ΔA Standard
G0 Highly accurate ± 5 µm 3 µm 10 µm
G1 Very accurate ± 10 µm 5 µm 20 µm
G2 Accurate ± 20 µm 7 µm 40 µm
G3 Standard ± 30 µm 25 µm 60 µm

Accuracy Selection Guide

  • G0 - For µm-level precision machining and measurement applications
  • G1 - Machine tool spindles, high-precision positioning stages
  • G2 - General CNC machine tools, automation equipment
  • G3 - Non-precision positioning, material handling systems

Preload Class Details

Class Preload Force Rigidity Friction Application
V1 Light preload Low Low Low friction requirements, light uniform loads
V2 Standard preload Medium Medium General machine tool applications, balanced rigidity and friction
V3 Medium preload High High High rigidity requirements, precision machining

Surface Treatment Options

Code Treatment Features Application
CN No coating (None) Standard steel surface, requires regular lubrication for rust prevention Standard steel surface, requires regular lubrication for rust prevention
CH Hard chromium Excellent corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, good emergency running properties Harsh environments, additional protection required

Integrated System Ordering

MONORAIL MR can be combined with measuring systems to form complete positioning solutions:

Combination Description Available Sizes
AMS 3B MONORAIL MR + Incremental measuring system 25, 35, 45, 55, 65
AMSABS 3B MONORAIL MR + Absolute measuring system 25, 35, 45, 55, 65

Ordering Notes

Important Reminders

  • Rails and carriages must be of the same size and accuracy grade
  • Matched carriages should be ordered together to ensure consistency
  • Rail length must account for first/last hole positions (L5, L10)
  • MR series single-piece rails can be up to 6000mm long
  • Through-hardened rails (ND/NUD/CD) are suitable for high load or impact environments
  • Special specifications (G0 accuracy, special lengths, etc.) - please confirm lead time in advance

Complete Order Example

Machine tool X-axis assembly order:

  • Rails: MR S 45-N-G1-KC-R1-1500-40-40-CN × 2 pcs
