A Frictionless Straight-Line Reference
A hydrostatic linear guide forms an oil film between rail and carriage, giving frictionless, wear-free linear motion. It is the straight-line reference for ultra-precision machines and measuring equipment.
Core Advantages
- No friction → no stick-slip, nanometre-smooth feed
- No wear → accuracy held long term
- Adjustable oil-film stiffness → resists cutting-force deflection
- Strong damping → suppresses chatter marks
Where Used
Lithography machines, CMMs, ultra-precision lathes / grinders, optical polishing equipment.
