Misumi USA offers a full line of miniature linear guides in short block, wide block and blocks with tapped hole or dowel pin designs. Block height is selectable and rail length can be configured in 1mm increments from 41mm-469mm to suit various applications, including automated assembly machines and inspection equipment. Guides can be ordered with a low dust specification for semiconductor, food and pharmaceutical applications.

In the Misumi catalogs, available in print or online, feature calculations to determine the life span of the linear system being designed. This assists the machine builder in finding the proper linear guide for the application.

Carbon and stainless steel versions are offered, with many new styles recently introduced. Misumi is also offering a number of its miniature linear guides styles at up to 10% lower cost than last year.

Using the unique Misumi Web Ordering System, an engineer or designer can select a style from the online catalog or configure a part, download the native CAD file, then get pricing and shipping information immediately. Procurement is also facilitated by this system, where a purchase can be made in lots as small as one, with no tooling charge, even on configured parts. A demo of this system is available at the web site.
